Select your model for specific charging instructions from the list below.
If your model is not listed Refer to your models Operating Manual for specific procedure.


For problems with charging, Refer to "Troubleshooting charging".



Model ER-224


When charging the beard/hair trimmer for the first time or when it has not been in use for more than 6 months, charge it for the activation for at least 16 hours before use.

If it seems to be losing speed you can fully charge the trimmer in 8 hours. A full charge will supply enough power for approx. 6 trims (5 minutes per trim for a normal beard).


  1. Connect the adaptor to the beard/ hair trimmer.
  2. Plug the adaptor to an AC outlet. In some areas, a special plug adaptor may be required. The charge indicatorlamp lights up when the trimmer is being charged.

Cautions for Charging.

  • Dry the trimmer completely before charging it.
  • Do not charge the trimmer at temperatures below 0 ˚C (32 ˚F) or above 40 ˚C (104 ˚F), or where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or other heat sources.
  • Do not continue charging for more than 48 hours as it may damage the battery.
  • The trimmer may become warm during operation and charging. This is normal.
  • The adaptor is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position.

Cautions for adaptor.

  • Use only the included adaptor RE9-32.
  • Keep the adaptor away from water and handle it only with dry hands.
  • Store the adaptor in a dry area where it is protected from damage.

      • The charge indicator lamp continues to glow after charging is complete. There is no indication to show that "charging is complete".
      • Charging the battery for more than 20 hours will not affect battery performance.
      • Always unplug the shaver form the AC adapter except when charging.

    Notes:

    • You cannot operate the shaver while charging.
    • If there is a noise from radio or other source while using the shaver, move to a different location to use the shaver.
    • The battery will deteriorate if not used for over 6 months, so make sure to perform a full charge at least once every 6 months.
    • When charging the shaver for the first time or when it has not been in use for more than 6 months, the charge indicator lamp may not glow for a few minutes, or the operating time may shorten. Please charge it for more than 30 hours in such cases.
    • Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 0 °C – 35 °C (32 °F – 95 °F). Battery performance may decrease outside of the recommended temperature.
    • A full charge supplies enough power for approximately 35 minutes of use.
    • You can charge the battery before it is completely discharged. However, it is recommended to charge when the battery is completely discharged. The battery life depends strongly on factors such as how it is used and stored.
