Air travel

Airlines have varying requirements for battery-operated products. Always verify your airline's specific rules before traveling. Most allow lithium-ion batteries under 100-watt hours in hand luggage, which includes all Philips shavers. If unsure, check with your airline. 

Charging abroad

When charging Philips shavers abroad, ensure the power supply matches the charger or plug adapter specifications, typically found on the plug/adapter. If the only difference is the number of pins or plug shape, a standard travel plug adapter can be used with your home plug/adapter. 

After replacing the shaving heads of your Philips shaver, you may feel mild skin discomfort. Allow 21 days for your skin to adapt. If you notice redness or irritation, apply a mild, alcohol-free lotion to soothe your skin.
