To avoid brush head breakage which may generate a small parts choking hazard or damage teeth:

Charging and Operating

Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and designed for use in the bathroom.

• You may use your toothbrush right away or charge it briefly by placing it on the plugged-in basic charger (9) or charging stand (14). When using the charging stand (14) use the extra smart plug (13) provided (picture B). Only the smart plug may be used for all global mains voltage ranges (100 -240V).
  Note: In case the battery is empty (no lights illuminated on charge level display (8) while charging or no reaction when pressing the on/off button (3)), charge at least for 30 minutes.

• The charge level is indicated on the charge level display (8). Flashing lights indicate that the battery is charging (picture 1); once it is fully charged, the lights turn off. A full charge typically takes 12 hours and enables at least 2 weeks of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).
  Note: At a very low charge level, the lights might not flash immediately; it can take up to 30 minutes.

• If the battery is running low, a red light is flashing on the charge level display and the motor is reducing its speed. Once the battery is empty, the motor will stop; it will need at least a 30-minute charge for one usage.

• You can always store the handle on the plugged-in charging unit to maintain it at full power; a battery overcharge is prevented by device. Note: Store handle at room temperature for optimal battery maintenance. Caution: Do not expose handle to temperatures higher than 50 °C.

Using your toothbrush

Brushing technique
Wet brush head and apply any kind of tooth-paste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching on the handle (picture 2). When brushing your teeth with one of the Oral-B oscillatingrotating brush heads guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth surface. With any brush head start brushing the outsides, then the insides and finally the chewing surfaces. Brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally (picture 3). 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» mode (optional in combination with an Oral-B «Sensitive» brush head).
Smart Ring features
Your toothbrush is equipped with a Smart
Ring (2) that has various functionalities indicated via different colors of light:
White (default) = Operating and visual timer light (choose individual color via Oral-B™ App settings)
Red = Pressure sensor light
Blue = Bluetooth® pairing indicator

Timer
The timer signals with a short stuttering sound and a flashing light of the Smart Ring at 30-seconds intervals to move to the next quadrant of your mouth (picture 3). A long stuttering sound and a flashing light indicate the end of the professionally recommended
2-minute brushing time.
The timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time, even when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. The timer resets if pausing longer than 30 seconds, briefly pressing the mode button (4) during pause or placing the handle on the plugged-in charger.
Note: During the use of the Oral-B™ App, the timer may be deactivated for some features.
Note: You can also customize the timer settings via Oral-B™ App.
Pressure sensor
If too much pressure is applied, the Smart Ring (2) will light up in red, reminding you to reduce pressure. Constant high pressure for more than 5 seconds is indicated with a fast flashing Smart Ring (2). In addition the pulsation of the brush head will stop and the oscillation movement of the brush head will be reduced (during «Daily Clean», «Pro Clean» and «Sensitive» mode) (picture 3).
Periodically check the operation of the pressure sensor by pressing moderately on the brush head during use.
Note: During the use of the Oral-B™ App, the pressure sensor may be deactivated for some features.
Brushing modes
Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes indicated on the brushing mode display (6) on your handle («Daily Clean» mode does not illuminate on the brushing mode display):

frequency)
«Sensitive»| –  Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive areas
«3D White»| –  Polishing for occasional or everyday use
«Gum Care»| – Gentle massage of gums
«Tongue Clean»| –  Tongue cleaning for occasional or everyday use

When operating the «Tongue Clean» mode, we recommend using the «Sensitive» brush head. You can brush your tongue either with or without toothpaste. Brush the whole area of your tongue systematically in gentle movements. The recommended brushing time is 20 seconds; indicated with a flashing light of the Smart Ring.
Your toothbrush automatically starts in the mode selected last. To switch to other modes, successively press the mode button during use (picture 4). To return from any mode back to «Daily Clean» mode, press and hold the mode button (4).
Note: You can also customize the mode settings via Oral-B™ App.

Brush heads

Oral-B offers you a variety of different Oral-B brush heads that fit your Oral-B toothbrush handle.
Our oscillating-rotating brush heads can be used for tooth-by-tooth precision cleaning.

| Oral-B CrossAction brush head
Our most advanced brush head.
Angled bristles for a precise clean. Lifts and powers away plaque.
---|---
| Oral-B FlossAction brush head
features micropulse bristles that allow for an outstanding plaque removal in the interdental areas.
| Oral-B 3D White brush head
features a special polishing cup to naturally whiten your teeth. Please note that children under 12 years old should not use the Oral-B «3D White» brush head.
| Oral-B Sensi Ultrathin brush head
features a combination of regular bristles to clean teeth surfaces and ultrathin bristles for a gentle brushing experience on the gumline.

Most Oral-B brush heads feature light blue INDICATOR ® bristles to help you monitor brush head replacement need. With thorough brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the blue 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 exert too much pressure on teeth and gums.
We do not recommend using the Oral-B «FlossAction» or Oral-B «3D White» brush head with braces. You may use the Oral-B «Ortho» brush head, specifically designed to clean around braces and wires.

Connecting your toothbrush to your Smartphone

The Oral-B™ App is available for smartphones running iOS or Android operating systems. It can be downloaded for free from App Store (SM) or Google Play™. Your handle has sensors installed that, together with a «brushing recognition» feature in the App, help you to detect what areas to brush and for how long. Furthermore, the Oral-B™ App gives you the opportunity to chart your brushing activities, give you coaching and customize your toothbrush settings.

• Launch the Oral-B™ App. It will guide you through the entire Bluetooth pairing procedure. You may also find it under the App´s settings (Settings -> Toothbrush).
  Note: Oral-B™ App functionality is limited if Bluetooth is deactivated on your smartphone (for directions please refer to your smartphone’s user manual).

• Any app instructions will be displayed on your smartphone.

• If Bluetooth is activated on your handle, the Bluetooth indicator (7) illuminates. Once the handle is paired with the App, the Smart Ring (2) flashes briefly.

• Keep your smartphone in close proximity (within 5m distance) when using it with the handle. Make sure the smartphone is safely positioned in a dry place.

Note: Your smartphone must support Bluetooth 4.0 (or higher)/Bluetooth Smart in order to pair your handle. Compatible smartphones are listed in App Store (SM) or Google Play™.
Caution: Follow your smartphone’s user manual to ensure your phone/charger is designed for use in a bathroom environment.
