CHARGING

Before using, read the important safety instructions in this manual.

Ensure the product is switched off. Connect the shaver to the adaptor
Connect to the mains and charge for 4 hours when using for the first time. This first charge is important to the shaver’s battery life.
When plugged in, the charging indicator will light up green.
When empty, the battery should be charged for 4 hours for a full charge and will provide up to 50 minutes of shaving time.
To preserve the life of the battery do not charge the battery after each use. Best practice is to use the shaver until the red low charge indicator appears and then recharge.

Caution:

Make sure the shaver and your hands are dry when charging the shaver.
Always charge the shaver in a cool, dry place.

SHAVING YOUR HEAD

Hold the head shaver body in the palm of your hand. Press the On / Off switch to turn the head shaver on.
Press the five cutting heads against your scalp. It is not necessary to press hard to shave. Pressing hard does not cut closer and could increase irritation. The cutting head will flex to follow the contours of your head.
Move the shaver slowly around your head. You may use linear strokes, or rotating motion, whichever you feel is most effective picking up and cutting your hair.
Use a hand held mirror to check the back of your head to confirm a complete and thorough shave. You may also use your other hand to feel for complete and consistent cutting.
It is not recommended to use the head shaver for facial hair.
When finished turn the shaver off. Check for the red low charge indication.

SHAVING TIPS

Do not attempt to shave head hair that is longer than 4 days growth or 2.0 mm. The Ultimate Series Rx5 head shaver is intended to maintain the shaved look and can be used daily or every two or three days.
The Ultimate Series Rx5 head shaver cannot shave long hair down to the shaved length. If your hair is longer than 2.0 mm you should trim it down with a hair clipper first before using the head shaver.
The Ultimate Series Rx5 head shaver can be used dry or it can be used with shaving cream or gel in the shower.

TRIMMING

Pop-up Trimmer:
The pop-up trimmer is located at the back of the shaver handle. It can be used for trimming edges of beards, sideburns or ears.

To activate the trimmer, turn the shaver on. Slide down the release button for the trimmer to pop the trimmer up.
Use cutting strokes in the direction opposite of the trimmer’s spring release.
When finished press the trimmer down and snap it back into the stored position.

Note: Lubricate teeth with oil every 6 months.

CLEANING and MAINTENANCE

The Ultimate Series Rx5 head shaver is designed to collect all the hair clippings while it cuts. This avoids clippings spilling onto bathroom counters or shower stalls making clean up easy.
When cleaning your shaver, make sure it is turned off and disconnected from the charging adaptor cord.
The shaver is washable and can be cleaned by rinsing under warm water.
When using shaving creams or gels with the shaver it is especially important to clean after each use to prevent the gel from drying and clogging the cutters.
When cleaning the external surfaces of the shaver, do not use strong detergents or other chemicals.
To dry, wipe the surface of the shaver with a dry towel. Do not use a hair dryer or heater to dry the shaver.
The shaver head and neck assembly is designed to be detachable from the shaver body. Simply pull upwards from the neck of the shaver for easy release. To reattach the neck, align it with the neck attachment cavity so that it clips back into position.

CLEANING YOUR SHAVER

After every use, hold the shaver over the bin and remove the top of the cutting head. Remove the head by gripping in the areas between the four outer cutters and pulling up and away from the handle. (Diagram A)
Tap the excess clippings that have been collected inside the hair pocket into the bin. (Diagram B)
Rinse the cutting head thoroughly by running water through the cutters from both sides of the head.
Rinse the hair pocket under running water.
Leave the cutting head detached and let it air dry. Reattach the shaving head when dry and you are ready for the next use. (Diagram C)
Lubricate the cutters on the inside surface once a week using Remington Shaver Saver (SP4) to maximise performance.

REPLACING SHAVING HEADS and CUTTERS

Please refer to the specifications’ table on page 5 of this manual that lists the correct replacement part number for your shaver.

It is very important to replace the shaving heads and cutters when necessary to ensure a close, comfortable shave without irritation. We recommend they be replaced every 12 months. Here are some signs of head and cutter wear, indicating that replacement is needed:

Irritation: As the heads get excessively worn you may experience some skin irritation. This would be especially noticeable when you apply moisturising lotion.
Pulling: When the cutters wear you may feel a sense of pulling and a loss of closeness when you shave. This is an indication that it is time to replace the shaving heads and cutters.

Replacement heads & cutters may be obtained from your local retailer, or directly from Remington®. Simply fill out the enclosed accessory order form – refer to page 8 & 9, or alternatively your order can be processed over the phone via the Remington® Service Hotline.

BATTERY DISPOSAL

Note: The battery is not intended to be removed or replaced under normal use. The only time the battery should be removed or the unit opened or disassembled, is at the end of the product’s useful life before it is discarded.

The HC7000AU contains a nickel cobalt manganese battery. Once the shaver has reached the end of its life, to ensure proper disposal of the product, please take the appliance to a recycling centre, where the internal rechargeable battery should be removed by a professional and recycled separately.
For more information about recycling of electrical and battery operated appliances, please contact your local council office or your household waste disposal service.

Caution: Do not put in the fire or mutilate your batteries when disposing as they may burst and release toxic materials. Do not short circuit as it may cause burns.

We suggest you use local waste management centres to recycle this product at end of life.

Suitable for use in bath and shower.

This product conforms to radio frequency interference requirements.

Any product purchased and used commercially carries a limited 90 Day Warranty.
