Troubleshooting
Device does not turn on.
Ensure a fresh AA battery is correctly inserted. Check the battery contacts for dirt or corrosion and clean if necessary. Make sure the battery compartment cover is securely closed.
Device is not removing hair effectively.
Ensure the skin is clean and dry. Hold the device at a right angle to the skin and move it gently over the desired area. Check if the shaving head needs cleaning from accumulated hair. Make sure the battery is not low, as this can reduce power.
Skin irritation occurs after use.
While designed to be gentle, some individuals may have sensitive skin. Ensure you are using the device correctly on dry skin and not applying excessive pressure. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. Clean the hypoallergenic head regularly.
LED light is dim or not working.
