Preparing for use

Attaching the brush head

1 Align the front of the brush head with the front of the toothbrush handle. 2 Push the brush head onto the metal shaft (Fig. 2).

Note: There is a small gap between the brush head and the handle. Charging the appliance 1 Put the plug of the charger in the wall socket. 2 Place the handle on the charger.

The battery charge indicator shows the approximate remaining battery charge (Fig. 3).
Solid green light: 50-100%
Flashing green light: 5-49%
Flashing green light and 3 beeps after the brushing cycle: less than 5% and toothbrush has to be recharged.
Note : To keep the battery fully charged at all times, you may keep your Sonicare on the charger when not in use. It takes at least 24 hours to fully charge the battery.

Using the appliance

Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle towards the gumline (Fig. 4).
Press the power on/off button to switch on the Sonicare.
Apply light pressure to maximise Sonicare’s effectiveness and let the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do not scrub.
Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small back and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth. Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle.
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter `Features’).
Brush each section for 30 seconds for a total brushing time of 2 minutes. Start with section 1 (outside top teeth) and then brush section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue with section 3 (outside bottom teeth) and finally brush section 4 (inside bottom teeth). (Fig. 5)
After you have completed the 2-minute brushing cycle, you can spend additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas where staining occurs. You may also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush switched on or off, as you prefer **(Fig. 6).

**

The Sonicare is safe to use on:

Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces).
Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers).
Note :
When the Sonicare is used in clinical studies, the handle should be fully charged. Deactivate the Easy-start feature and for areas where excess staining occurs, an additional 30 seconds of brushing time can be spent to assist with stain removal.

Features

Easy-start

This Sonicare model comes with the Easy-start feature activated. The Easy- start feature gently increases the power over the first 14 brushings.
Note: Each of the first 14 brushings must be at least 1 minute in length to advance through the Easy-start ramp-up cycle properly.
Deactivating and activating the Easy-start feature

Attach the brush head to the handle.
Place the handle in the plugged-in charger.

To deactivate Easy-start: Press and hold the power on/off button for 2 seconds. You hear 1 beep to indicate that the Easy-start feature has been deactivated.
To activate Easy-start: Press and hold the power on/off button for 2 seconds. You hear 2 beeps to indicate that the Easy-start feature has been activated.
Note: Using the Easy-start feature beyond the initial ramp-up period is not recommended and reduces Sonicare’s effectiveness in removing plaque.

Smartimer

After 2 minutes, the Smartimer automatically switches off the toothbrush. To pause or stop brushing during the 2-minute cycle, press the on/off button. If you press the on/off button again within 30 seconds, the Smartimer picks up where you left off.

Quadpacer

The Quadpacer is an interval timer. At 30, 60 and 90 seconds, you hear a short beep and pause in the brushing action. This is your signal to move to the next section of your mouth.

Cleaning

Do not place brush head, the handle and the charger in the dishwasher.

Rinse the brush head and bristles after each use. Let the brush head air-dry only (Fig. 7).
Remove the brush head once a week and clean the connection between the brush head and the handle (Fig. 8).

Do not use sharp objects to press on the rubber seal, as this may cause damage.
Clean the rest of the handle periodically with mild soap and a moist cloth (Fig. 9).
Unplug the charger before you clean it. Use a damp cloth to wipe the surface of the charger.

Replacement
