Getting started

Applying the replaceable panel

The Sonicare For Kids comes with 1 replaceable panel.

1. Remove the adhesive backing from the panel.
2. Apply the panel to the white section on the front of the handle (Fig. 2).
   • Note: Make sure you line up the cut-out areas on the panel with the buttons on the front of the handle.
3. Apply your favorite sticker to the panel as shown on the sticker sheet (Fig. 3).

Reapplying a panel that has been removed

1. Rinse the panel in warm water; you may also use a mild detergent to clean it.
2. Let the panel air dry.
3. Reapply the panel to the white section on the front of the handle.

Attaching the brush head

1. Align the brush head so the bristles point in the same direction as the front of the handle (Fig. 4).
2. Firmly press the brush head down onto the metal shaft until it stops.
   • Note: There is a small gap between the brush head and the handle.

Charging your Sonicare

1. Plug the charger into an electrical outlet.
2. Place the handle on the charger (Fig. 5).
   • The battery charge indicator in the power on/off button flashes, and the handle beeps twice to indicate that the toothbrush is charging.

Battery low

• If the battery charge of your Sonicare is low, you hear three beeps, and the battery charge indicator flashes rapidly for 1 minute after the brushing cycle.

Battery fully charged

• When the Sonicare is fully charged, the battery charge indicator stops flashing and remains on for 10 seconds before it turns off.
• 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.

Note:

• When the battery charge is depleted, the handle will emit 2 sets of 5 beeps at the end of a brushing session or when a new brushing session is attempted. The new brushing session does not begin.
• The green LED will also flash fast until the handle goes to sleep.

Bluetooth Connectivity

• Before you start the connectivity procedure, make sure your mobile device runs on Bluetooth 4.0 or higher.
  • Note: For the latest information on device compatibility, please visit the App Store or Google Play.

Connecting Your Toothbrush

1. Download the Philips Sonicare For Kids app from the App Store or Google Play.
2. Confirm Bluetooth is switched on on your mobile device before you open the app. Check the settings on your mobile device to turn on Bluetooth.
3. To connect the toothbrush to the app, turn on the toothbrush by pressing either the power on/off button or the brushing mode button. Make sure the toothbrush is not on the charger when you turn it on.

Usage Instructions

Using Your Sonicare Brushing Instructions

1. Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
2. Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle (45 degrees), where the teeth and the gumline meet. This is to ensure that the whole tooth surface is brushed (Fig. 6).
3. Press the power on/off button to turn on the Sonicare.
4. Apply light pressure to maximize Sonicare’s effectiveness and let the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do not scrub (Fig. 7).
5. Maintain light pressure and gently brush the outer and inner surfaces of all top and bottom teeth while you keep the toothbrush at an angle such that the toothbrush bristles touch the area where the teeth and the gumline meet.
6. The inner and outer surfaces of the upper and lower back teeth are hard to reach. Spend time brushing these areas, apply light pressure, and maintain the angle of the toothbrush bristles to the gumline (Fig. 8).
7. Brush the chewing surfaces of all the upper and lower teeth.
8. While you maintain the angle of the bristles to the gum line, gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small back-and-forth motion so the longer bristles reach between the teeth. Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle (Fig. 9).
   • Note: To make sure your child brushes evenly throughout the mouth, divide the mouth into 4 sections using the KidPacer feature (see chapter „Features“).
9. Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top teeth). A short series of tunes indicates it is time to move to section 2 (inside top teeth). At the next series of tunes, move to section 3 (outside bottom teeth). The next series of tunes indicates it is time to move to section 4 (inside bottom teeth). The toothbrush will automatically turn off at the end of the brushing cycle (Fig. 10).

Your Sonicare is Safe to Use on:

• Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)
• Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)

Brushing Modes

Press the brushing mode button to toggle between modes (Fig. 11). The green mode light indicates the selected mode.

• Gentle mode : Full power mode designed for older/independent brushers. When in Gentle mode, the brushing cycle is set at 2 minutes.
• Extra Gentle mode: Reduced power mode used for training and introducing younger children to the sonic experience. When in Extra Gentle mode, the brushing cycle is initially set at 1 minute and slowly progresses to 2 minutes over time to help young children reach the dentist-recommended 2 minutes of brushing cycle.
• To manually set the brushing cycle to 2 minutes in Extra Gentle mode, place the handle on the charger and hold down the mode button for 2 seconds. You hear a single beep to indicate the brushing cycle is set to 2 minutes.
• To manually reset the brushing cycle to 1 minute in Extra Gentle mode, place the handle on the charger and hold down the mode button for 2 seconds. You hear a double beep to indicate the brushing cycle is set to 1 minute.

Features

KidPacer

• The Sonicare For Kids uses a short series of tunes to alert the brusher to move to the next brushing quadrant of the mouth and concludes the brushing cycle with a congratulatory tune before it automatically turns off. This ensures that the child’s teeth get a thorough, overall clean (see “Brushing instructions”).
  • Note: Instruct your child to brush until they hear the congratulatory tune and the toothbrush turns off.

Easy-start

The Easy-start feature gently increases the power over the first 14 brushings to help you get used to brushing with the Philips Sonicare. The Sonicare For Kids comes with the Easy-start feature activated.

Note: Each of the first 14 brushings must be at least 1 minute in length to properly advance through the Easy-start ramp-up cycle.

Activating or deactivating the Easy-start feature:

1. Place the handle on the charger.
2. 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.
3. 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.

Note: Using the Easy-start feature beyond the initial ramp-up period is not recommended and reduces Philips Sonicare’s effectiveness in removing plaque.

Cleaning

Warning: Do not clean brush heads, handles, chargers, charger covers, or replaceable panels in the dishwasher.

Toothbrush Handle
