The Philips Norelco Nose Trimmer Series 5000, model NT5600/42, is a versatile grooming device designed for various facial hair trimming needs. This document provides comprehensive instructions on its functionality, usage, and maintenance, ensuring users can effectively operate and care for their device.

Function Description

The Philips Nose Trimmer is primarily designed for trimming nose and ear hair, but depending on the model, it can also be used for eyebrow trimming and detail trimming of beards, sideburns, and neck hair. It is a multifunctional device that comes with different attachments to cater to these diverse grooming requirements.

For nose and ear trimming, the device utilizes a specific cutting unit that can be inserted into the nostrils or ear canal to trim unwanted hair. The design ensures that hair is cut to a short length, maintaining a natural defense system against particles entering the body.

Eyebrow trimming is facilitated by specialized eyebrow combs, available in different lengths (3mm or 0.12" for small, and 5mm or 0.19" for large). These combs guide the trimming head to achieve a uniform length for eyebrows.

Detail trimming, for models equipped with a detail trimming head, allows for precise shaping and maintenance of facial hair areas like beards, sideburns, and necklines. This attachment can be used with or without a comb, offering flexibility for different levels of precision.

The device's power source can vary, with some models being rechargeable and others operating on disposable AA batteries. Rechargeable models feature a charging indicator to signal battery status, while battery-operated devices require periodic battery replacement.

Usage Features

General Operation:

To begin using the device, ensure it is adequately charged or has fresh batteries. For rechargeable models, a flashing charging indicator signifies charging, which turns solid when fully charged. Battery-operated devices require correct insertion of AA batteries, ensuring the positive and negative poles are oriented as indicated.

Attaching and Detaching Trimmer Heads:

Philips MultiGroomers with a rotary nose trimmer attachment allow for easy removal and attachment. To remove, place a finger on the back of the attachment and push it upwards. To attach, insert the lug into the guiding slot at the front and push the back until it clicks into place. For Philips Nose Trimmers with a nose trimmer or detail trimmer head, removal involves firmly gripping the handle, holding the attachment, and turning it counterclockwise until the triangle indications on the handle and head align. Then, pull the attachment off. To attach, align the triangle indications, place the head on the handle, and turn it clockwise until the indicator triangle and line on the body and attachment are aligned and fixed.

Nose Hair Trimming:

  1. Turn on the device.
  2. Carefully insert the cutting element into your nose, ensuring not to insert it more than 5 mm into your nostrils.
  3. Slowly move the trimming head around inside each nostril, making sure the side with the trimming teeth touches the hair.
  4. Clean the device thoroughly after each use.

Ear Hair Trimming:

  1. Turn on the device.
  2. Slowly move the trimming head along the rim of the ear to remove any protruding hair, ensuring the side with the trimming teeth touches the hair.
  3. Carefully insert the trimming head into the outer ear canal, not exceeding 5 mm.
  4. Turn the trimming head around to remove all unwanted hair from your outer ear canal.
  5. Clean the device thoroughly after each use.

Eyebrow Trimming:

  1. Comb your eyebrows in the direction of hair growth.
  2. Ensure the product is switched off.
  3. Slide the appropriate eyebrow comb (3mm or 5mm) onto the trimming head.
  4. Switch on the device.
  5. Move the comb over the eyebrow from the outer tip towards the base of the nose, moving against the direction of hair growth.
  6. Clean the device thoroughly after each use.

Detail Trimming (for models with detail trimming head):

For effective trimming, place the flat part of the comb on your skin and move the trimmer slowly with light pressure against the direction of hair growth. Detailer combs are available in 3mm (M) and 5mm (L) lengths. Slide the detailer comb onto the front of the detailer trimmer head and push down the back until it clicks. For first-time use, it is recommended to use the detail trimming head with its comb. Without the comb, the precision trimmer will cut every hair it touches.

Charging (for rechargeable models):

Charge the device when the charging indicator signals low battery or when the groomer operates slower than usual.

  1. Insert the charging plug into the device's charging socket, ensuring it is fully inserted without force.
  2. The charging indicator will flash to show charging is in progress.
  3. Once fully charged, the indicator lights up continuously for approximately 30 minutes before turning off to save energy.
  4. After charging, unplug the charger from both the power outlet and the groomer. Normal charging time ranges from 1 to 8 hours. For the first charge, it is recommended to charge for at least 3 hours.

Charging with a Charging Stand (if applicable):

  1. Connect the charging station to a power outlet.
  2. Place the groomer in the charging stand. A light on the groomer or stand may indicate charging.
  3. Once fully charged, unplug the charging stand.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning with Water:

The ability to rinse the Philips Groomer with water depends on its waterproof rating, indicated by symbols on the device's box or body.

  • Tap Symbol: A tap symbol indicates that the device is washable, and its parts (cutters and combs) can be cleaned with water. However, this does not mean it can be used in the shower or bath.
  • Crossed-out Tap Symbol: A crossed-out tap symbol signifies that the groomer is not washable and should be cleaned without water.
  • Bath or Shower Symbol: This symbol indicates that the device is waterproof and can be safely cleaned with water and used in the shower or bath. For safety, these waterproof groomers are cordless and will not operate if connected to the power supply.

General Cleaning:

Thorough cleaning is recommended after each use, especially for nose and ear trimming, to maintain hygiene and device performance. If the device is not washable, use a brush or cloth to remove hair and debris.

Battery Replacement (for battery-operated devices):

If the trimmer does not switch on or runs slower, it's time to replace the disposable AA batteries. Only use the battery type specified in the user manual. Do not mix different types of batteries or old and new batteries. Ensure new batteries are inserted with the correct polarity (+ and - poles).

Locating Model and Serial Numbers:

The model and serial numbers are crucial for product registration and support.

  • Back of the Device: For devices like the OneBlade, these numbers are on the back of the handle. Model numbers typically start with two alphabets followed by four digits (e.g., QP2540). Serial numbers are in YYWW format (Year and week).
  • Top of the Device: Some hair clippers and beard trimmers have the model number on the top, just below the cutting teeth. The serial number is usually under the cutting unit; pull off the upper part of the groomer to find four digits in YYWW format (e.g., 1823).
  • Inside the Handle: For nose trimmers, the model and serial numbers are inside the battery compartment. Remove the lower part of the handle to access them.

Regular maintenance, including proper cleaning and adherence to charging guidelines, will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Philips Norelco Nose Trimmer. If unsure about cleaning methods, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
