Using your toothbrush

Charging and Operating

• To charge the battery place the toothbrush on the plugged-in charger (7).

• During charging the on/off button is blinking white. Once it is fully charged the indicator light turns off. A full charge typically takes
  16 hours.

• If the battery is running low the low charge indicator (15) blinks in red. Once the battery is empty, the motor stops. To charge the battery please put the brush on the charger.

• The toothbrush can be stored on the plugged-in charger to maintain it at full charge; a battery overcharge is prevented by the device. However, for environmental purposes we recommend to keep charger in the power socket during charging only.

• The toothbrush switches off when exceeding the outside operating limits and/or standard battery current. To enable operation the toothbrush needs to be put on the charger.

Caution: This toothbrush contains a Li-Ion battery. Do not expose toothbrush to temperatures higher than 50°C / 122°F.
Note: Store the toothbrush at room temperature for optimal battery maintenance.

Start Brushing
Place the brush head (1) on the handle (6). A small gap should remain between handle and brush head. Activate the brushing mode display (4) by picking-up the brush, lifting it off the charger or pressing the on/off button (8).

Note: The brushing mode display turns off after some time. You may wake up the toothbrush to activate the display again.

Wet brush head and apply toothpaste. To avoid splashing, put the brush head into your mouth before switching the toothbrush on by pressing the on/off button.
Guide the brush head from tooth to tooth. Brush the outsides, the insides and the chewing surfaces. Brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally. You may also consult your dentist or dental hygienist about the right technique for you. In the first days of using any electric toothbrush, your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist after 2 weeks, please consult your dentist or dental hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth and/or gums, Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» or «Super Sensitive» modes (optional in combination with an Oral-B «Gentle Care» brush head (g)). Availability of modes may vary depending on model purchased.

Timer
The timer signals with a short stuttering sound in 30-seconds intervals to move to the next quadrant of your mouth. A long stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute brushing time.
The timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time, even when the toothbrush is briefly switched off during brushing. The timer resets if pausing longer than 30 seconds or placing the toothbrush on the plugged-in charger.

Brushing reward illumination
The completion of a 2-minutes brushing event will be rewarded with a colorful light ring illumination (b).
Note : You may also customize the timer settings via Oral-B App.

Smart Pressure Sensor/ Light Ring (a)
Your toothbrush is equipped with a Smart Pressure Sensor (3) that has various functionalities indicated via different colors of light (a):

• White = Low pressure indicator / default setting
• Green = optimal pressure indicator
• Red = high pressure indicator

Brushing with the recommended pressure is indicated via a green light. If too much pressure is applied, a red light reminds you to reduce pressure. If the Smart Pressure Sensor illuminates in white (or your pre-selected color), we recommend applying more pressure. When high pressure is applied the brush head movement will be reduced (in «Daily Clean», «Intense» and «Sensitive» modes). Periodically check the operation of the Smart Pressure Sensor by pressing moderately on the brush head during use.
Note : You can replace the white default light ring color with a choice of individual colors via the Oral-B App.

Brushing modes (depending on model)
Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes indicated on the display:

• «Daily Clean» (9) – Standard mode for daily cleaning
• «Intense» (10) – For an extraordinary clean feeling (operated with a higher speed)
• «Sensitive» (11) – Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive areas
• «Super Sensitive» (12) – Super gentle cleaning for extra sensitive areas «Whiten» (13) – Polishing for occasional or everyday use

Note: The sequence and availability of brushing modes may vary depending on model purchased.

Mode setting:
You may first choose your default mode by pressing the mode button (14) successively once the toothbrush is awake (display turned on). Activate the selected mode by pressing the on/off button. To start brushing press on/off button again. You may also change modes during a brushing event. To switch to another mode, successively press the mode button. Your toothbrush automatically starts in the mode selected last.
Note: You may also customize mode settings via Oral-B App.

Brush heads
Oral-B offers you a variety of different Oral-B iO brush heads (f/g/h) that only fit your Oral-B iO toothbrush handle. These unique brush heads are dentist-inspired to leave your mouth feeling clean and refreshed.

When to exchange brush head
Some iO Oral-B brush heads feature INDICATOR® bristles to help you monitor brush head replacement need. With thorough brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the bristle color will fade halfway approximately within 3 months, indicating the need to exchange your brush head. If the bristles splay before the color recedes, you may be exerting too much pressure on teeth and gums. In general, we recommend replacing the brush head every 3 months.

Brush Replacement Reminder
The toothbrush is equipped with a «Brush Replacement Reminder» indicating the need to exchange the brush head approximately after 3 months when used twice per day. A yellow light – accompanied by a vibration signal – will illuminate in the mode button (16).
To reset the «Brush Replacement Reminder» hold the mode button pressed for 2 seconds. A vibration and illumination signal confirms the reset. If no action is taken, an automatic reset will happen after several days. may appear orange
