CONSTRUCTION

GENERAL APPEARANCE OF THE DEVICE AND ITS ACCESSORIES

During the operation of the unit, only the current mode indicator is visible.

USE
Before and after work, check each component for signs of damage. Damaged components must not be used, as this may cause damage to the user’s body.
Do not use the tip for more than 3 months after first use. Teeth or gums might get injured due to excessive use of single brush or bristles wearing off.

MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING OF BRUSH TIPS

Take out the toothbrush and one of the tips from the packaging. Take of the protective cover and put on the tip with the hole on the protruding metal spindle from the brush holder so that the bristles of the tips point in the same direction as the switch and diodes on the brush holder. Press the two parts together in a firm motion. A small space of approx. 0.5 mm will be left between the brush tip and the brush holder. This is the result of the design of the device. Do not be press against the brush holder forcing the tip to come into contact with the brush. To remove the tip, gently pull the tip upwards until it is detached from the brush holder.

CHARGING THE TOOTHBRUSH BATTERY

Keep your hands dry before operating the charging base and charging the battery in the device. Before charging the battery for the first time, remove the charging base from the package. Unwind the charging base cable gently and place it on a stable horizontal surface. Connect the USB connector of the base power cord to a powered USB adapter (not supplied) with an output of 5V ⎓ 0.5A or higher.Place the bottom of the brush holder in the charging base dock. Make sure that the charging contacts on the underside of the toothbrush holder line up with the contacts on the base. The base has a built-in magnet, which makes the connection to the toothbrush handle more stable. When charging starts, the diode starts to pulse green. In the event of extreme battery discharge, the device may not turn on or might turn off in the middle of a cleaning program, not completing it, or not turn on at all. When charging is complete, the charging indicator will be continuously illuminated in green.

• Do not charge or store the unit below 0°C or above 40°C, otherwise, the quality and length of the charge will be affected.
• The device may become slightly hot during charging; which is normal.
• Try not to discharge the battery completely, as this can lead to permanent damage to the battery and brush.
• The built-in battery is not user replaceable. To replace the battery, contact the manufacturer’s service department.

TOOTHBRUSH MODES

The toothbrush offers four modes of operation:

• Cleaning – strong vibrations
• Whitening – medium vibrations
• Care – low vibrations
• Massage – mixed vibrations

Pressing the switch button again immediately after turning on the device will switch between modes. When all modes have been activated, pressing the switch again will switch the brush off. Operating a mode for approx. 3 seconds activates it and you cannot switch between the modes without switching off the toothbrush or terminating the program and selecting the program again.The toothbrush has a built-in timer and after every 30 seconds, it informs you with a short break that the time has passed. The standard washing session provides 4 such intervals, which gives a total of 2 minutes of washing/massage.

TECHNIQUE OF CLEANING WITH A SONIC BRUSH
To use the Sonic toothbrush effectively, follow these instructions.
Apply a small dose of your favorite toothpaste to the bristles of the brush. In the case of sonic toothbrushes, the amount of toothpaste may be smaller than in the case of ordinary toothbrushes.

• The bristles of the toothbrush should be directed at an angle of 45 degrees so that the bristles have the ability to clean the side surfaces of the tooth and gums.

• Switch on the device and guide the toothbrush tip slowly, pressing it gently against the tooth surface and touching gums. Single cleaning cycle lasts 4x30s. It is worth dividing the surface of your teeth into four parts so that you can clean each one for 30 seconds. After 2 minutes of operation, the brush will turn off.

• During the first dozen or so uses of the gums may bleed slightly (not very frequent phenomenon) or you may feel discomfort (a frequent phenomenon
