Using The Shaver - Braun 5697 Bedienungsanleitung

Charging
Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 5 °C to 35 °C. The battery may
not charge properly or at all under extreme low or high temperatures. Recommended
ambient temperature for shaving is 15 °C to 35 °C. Do not expose the shaver to
temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.
• Using the special cord set (12), connect the shaver to an electrical outlet with the
motor switched off and charge it for at least one hour.
• A full charge provides up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving time. This may vary
according to your beard growth.
Charging lights (9a)
The green charging lights show the charge status of the batteries. The green charging
light blinks when the shaver is being charged or switched on. When the battery is fully
charged, all green charging lights shine permanently, provided the shaver is connected
to an electrical outlet.
Some minutes after completing the charging, the shaver switches to the stand-by-mode:
The display turns off.
Low-charge light (9b)
The red low-charge light flashes when the battery is running low. The remaining battery
capacity is sufficient for 2 to 3 shaves.

Using the shaver

How to use
Press the on/off switch (5) to operate the shaver:
• The pivoting shaver head and floating foils automatically adjust to every contour of
your face.
• To shave hard to reach areas (e.g. under the nose), first slide the shaver head to the
back position, afterwards move the head lock switch to the back. The pivoting head is
locked at this angle.
• To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, slide the pop-out long hair trimmer (4)
upwards.

3. Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth.
