Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Philips S5887/10 shaver, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Shaver not turning on: Ensure the shaver is fully charged. If the battery is completely drained, it may take a few minutes of charging before the shaver responds.
• Poor shaving performance: Clean the shaving heads thoroughly. If performance does not improve, the shaving heads may be worn out and require replacement (SH71).
• Shaver stops during use: The battery may be low. Recharge the shaver.
• Skin irritation: Ensure you are using the correct shaving technique (small circular motions, gentle pressure). For wet shaving, ensure adequate foam or gel. Allow your skin to adapt to the new shaver for a few weeks.
