What do the symbols on my Philips i9000 Series shaver mean?

A small symbol of a power plug with an arrow below it indicates that the shaver cannot be used when connected to a power source.

Disconnect your shaver from the power source before switching it on.

A tap with running water above disassembled shaving heads indicates that your shaver needs to be deep cleaned. This reminder appears automatically once per month.

Clean your shaver using the instructions provided in the user manual (Tip: the user manual is also available online.)

A symbol with 3 water drops/droplets indicates that your shaver needs to be cleaned. This icon will appear automatically after every shave.

Clean your shaver using the instructions provided in the user manual (Tip: the user manual is also available online.)

A single horizontal bar or line indicates that your shaver's battery is low.

Charge your shaver by connecting it to a power source.

When your shaver is charging, the lines will fill from the bottom, first flashing and then turning solid, until all the lines are illuminated and the shaver is fully charged.

An icon combining the letters I and Q indicates that the shaver's integrated SkinIQ technology is monitoring your shave.

A small battery icon will appear to indicate that the battery is (almost) empty.

Connect your shaver to a power source and allow it to charge.

These symbols indicate your shaver's shaving mode.

• Feather: sensitive mode
• Pentagon-shaped shaving heads: regular mode
• Pentagon-shaped shaving heads with plus (+) symbol: intense mode
• Bubbles: foam mode, for shaving with foam or gel

Adjust the mode by pushing the button at the bottom of the display when the shaver is switched on.

A small container with blue liquid in it will appear on the shaver's handle when the cartridge of your Quick Clean Pod needs to be replaced.

A small padlock symbol appears on the shaver handle when the travel lock is activated. This is to prevent the shaver from turning on automatically during travel or storage.

Refer to the user manual (also available online) for information regarding disabling and enabling the travel lock.

Tip: for the i9000 you can enable or disable the travel lock by holding down the power button for approx. 5 seconds. For the i9000 Prestige and i9000 Prestige Ultra, use the menu button at the bottom of the display to access the travel lock. 

A small icon of a cell phone with a speech/dialogue/notification symbol indicates either that your shaver is communicating with the GroomTribe app or that the shaver's memory is nearly full.

Sync your shaves with the GroomTribe app regularly for insights into your shaving performance and more.
