Answer
The sensation is different for each
person but it may feel hotter if hair
has not been removed properly.
Please shave any hair short
before flashing.
The treated skin may temporarily
turn red or feel painful depending
on the body type or condition of
the person using the appliance.
Stop using the appliance
immediately, and keep the skin
cool and moist.
If the symptoms subside within
2 days, use the appliance at a
level that the symptoms do not
appear. If the symptoms persist
after 2 days, consult a
dermatologist. (See page 12.)
If the dirt cannot be removed even
after cleaning, the light will
become weaker and the guard will
need to be replaced. Contact the
store where you purchased the
unit or a service center authorized
by Panasonic for repair.

Question
Does the cartridge
confirmation lamp flash
when the level selector
switch is pressed?

Troubleshooting

Problem
The flash window does
not flash.
The flash preparation
time is long.
Answer
The cartridge confirmation lamp
will flash when the lamp cartridge
is attached/unattached but this is
not a malfunction. Reset the
appliance if the lamp cartridge has
been replaced. (See page 16.)
Action
Check that the level indication
lamp (blue) has changed from
blinking to glowing.
Press the flash switch
perpendicularly against the skin
until it flashes. (See page 13.)
If 10 continuous flashes have
been emitted, temporarily move
the appliance away from the skin.
If the cartridge confirmation lamp
(red) is blinking, the lamp cartridge
replacement period is up.
Replace with a new lamp cartridge.
(See pages 16 and 17.)
The flash preparation time may
become longer to prevent the
main body from overheating.
