Battery Removal and Battery Life Information

The Panasonic ES-LT2B is a rechargeable shaver designed for household use, offering both wet and dry shaving capabilities. This watertight shaver can be used in the shower with shaving lather or for dry shaving, and is easily cleaned with water.

Function Description:

The primary function of the ES-LT2B is to provide a close and comfortable shave. It features a "shaving sensor" that automatically adjusts power depending on beard thickness, delivering high power for heavy beard areas and reduced power for thinner areas to minimize skin burden. The shaver also includes a trimmer for sideburns and pre-shaving long beards. A unique "shaving foam mode" allows users to create foam directly on the shaver head using facial cleansers or body soaps, enhancing the wet shaving experience.

- Short Brush: Used for cleaning the inner blades by moving it in the illustrated direction. Avoid moving it perpendicularly to prevent damage.
Lubrication: Apply one drop of oil to each system outer foil and the trimmer after cleaning to maintain smooth blade movement and a comfortable shave. Run the shaver for five seconds after oiling, then wipe off excess oil.
Regular Replacement of Parts:
- System outer foil: Recommended replacement once every year.
- Inner blades: Recommended replacement once every two years.
Drying: After water cleaning, wipe off water drops with a dry cloth and allow the outer foil section, shaver, and trimmer to dry completely in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight.
Battery Disposal: The built-in rechargeable battery must be removed before disposing of the shaver. This process should only be performed when disposing of the product, as it will void the waterproof function. The battery is recyclable, and users are advised to call 1-800-8-BATTERY for recycling information.
Storage: Store the shaver in a place with low humidity after use, with the protective cap in place. Avoid direct sunlight with the foil frame detached to prevent deterioration of waterproof rubber.
