Philips BT9285 BT9285/41 Folheto

Like many new products, your Philips Norelco 

Laser Guided Precision Beard Trimmer may take 

a little getting used to. If you are using an electric 

Trimmer for the first time, or if you’ve been 

using a different brand, take the time to acquaint 

yourself with your new Trimmer.

 

Your Trimmer features a unique laser guide which 

projects a line on your face so you can pre-align 

the Trimmer and create the exact look you want 

every time. 

 

Throw your scissors away and put your new  

Trimmer to the test. We guarantee precise, 

professional results or Philips Norelco will refund 

you the full purchase price as long as the request 

is received within 45 days of purchase.  

 

Charge the Trimmer fully before you start using it 

for the first time or after a long period of non-use.

  Low Battery

◗

 When the battery is almost empty, the bottom 

  battery light blinks orange (fig. 3). 

◗

 When you turn off the Trimmer, the bottom  

  battery light continues to blink orange for a  

  few seconds. 

◗

 The bottom battery light will blink orange  

  more rapidly if the battery is empty and you  

  press the ON/OFF button, turn the Zoom  

  Wheel or activate the Laser Guide.  

◗

 When you start charging, the bottom battery  

  light blinks orange and white alternately (fig. 4).  

◗

 After approximately 3 minutes the bottom  

  battery light blinks white only. The battery now  

  has enough energy for one cordless trimming  

  session (fig. 5). 

◗

 As charging continues, more lights start blinking 

  showing the charge level of the battery. 

◗

 When the battery is fully charged, all battery  

  lights light up white (fig. 6).  

w

 Charging, recharging, or using the Trimmer at  

 temperatures below 40˚F or higher than 95˚F

  adversely affects  lifespan of the battery.

w

 If the appliance is subjected to a major change  

  in temperature, pressure or humidity, let the  

  Trimmer acclimatize for 30 minutes before  

 using.

w

 Continuously recharging Trimmer will reduce  

  lifespan of battery.

◗

 Use this Trimmer for its intended household  

use as described in this manual.

◗

 Trimming is easier when skin and hair are dry. 

◗

 Always comb the beard and/or moustache with 

a fine comb before you start trimming.

◗

 If you are trimming for the first time, be 

careful. Do not move the Trimmer too fast. 

Make smooth and gentle movements.

◗

 Use the Beard Comb to trim your beard  

 (fig. 9) or use the Detail Comb to trim hard-to- 

  reach areas, such as under your nose (fig. 10).

 A Comb must be on Trimmer to use the  

  Zoom Wheel.

  Slide a comb into the guiding grooves on  

    both sides of the Trimmer. You will hear a   

    'click' (fig. 11).

Detail Trimmer is pointing towards the front of the 

Trimmer. Turn the trimming head and then slide 

the comb onto the appliance (fig. 14).

 9/32 in/7mm.

◗

 If you are trimming for the first time, start by  

  using the comb at the maximum trimming  

 length setting (9/32 in/7mm) to prevent  

  accidentally trimming hairs too short. As you  

  become familiar with the settings, adjust Zoom  

  Wheel to desired trimming length. Zoom  

  Wheel  will “click” into position at each setting.

 3

  Press the ON/OFF button to turn Trimmer  

    ON (fig. 8).

 4

  To trim in the most effective way, move the  

    Trimmer against the direction of hair growth.  

    Make sure the surface of the comb always   

    stays in contact with the skin.

NOTE: Since all hairs do not grow in the 

same direction, you may want to try different

trimming positions (i.e., upwards, 

downwards, or across). Practice is best for 

optimum results. 

  If cut hairs have accumulated in the comb,  

    turn Trimmer off, remove the comb and  

    blow and/or shake the hair out of the comb.  

    The selected trimming length setting will  

    not change when you do this.
