Charging

When you have charged the shaver for the rst

time and after a long period of disuse, optimise the

battery capacity in the following way:

1 Fully charge the shaver (see section ‘Charging

the shaver’ below).

2 Empty the battery through normal use

(shaving).

3 Repeat this process 2 more times.

Note: If you optimise the battery capacity in this way,

you can also charge the shaver in between shaves,

even if the battery is not completely empty yet. This

does not damage the battery.

2 Put the mains plug in the wall socket.

(HQ6970/HQ6950/HQ6920) or 1 hour

(HQ6990), but not more than 24 hours.

HQ6990: When the battery is fully charged, the

charging light starts ashing.

HQ6970/HQ6950/HQ6920: The charging light

stays on as long as the shaver is connected to

the mains.

Note: Do not leave the shaver connected to the mains

continuously.

Note: You can also shave without charging. Simply

connect the shaver to the mains.
