• If the battery is running low the motor reduces its speed and the Smart Pressure Sensor (3) shortly blinks in red. Once the battery is empty, the motor stops; it will need at least a 30-minutes charge for one usage.

• You can always store the handle on the plugged-in charger to maintain it at full charge; a battery overcharge is pre- vented by the device.

USING YOUR TOOTHBRUSH

START BRUSHING

Place the brush head on the handle. A small gap should remain between handle and brush head.

Lift the handle off the plugged-in charger or simply pick it up to wake up the handle (display turns on). Wet brush head and apply toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching the handle on by pressing the on/ off button.

NOTE: Display turns off after some time. You may press the on/ off button to activate display again.

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.

After Brushing, the display gives you feedback based on your brushing time.

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 (d)).

Availability of modes are depending on model purchased.

TIMER

The timer signals with a short stuttering sound at 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 handle is briefly switched off during brushing. The timer resets if pausing longer than 30 seconds 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 may also customize the timer settings via Oral-B App.

SMART PRESSURE SENSOR FEATURES (A)

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

White (default) = Operating indicator (choose individual color via Oral-B App (b)) / Low pressure indicator

Red = high pressure indicator / low battery indicator Green = recommended pressure indicator

Blue = Bluetooth pairing indicator

Orange = Error indicator (follow display messages)

Brush with the right pressure indicated with a green light. If too much pressure is applied, it lights up in red reminding you to reduce pressure. If the Smart Pressure Sensor illuminates in white (or your pre-selected color), we recommend applying more pressure.

During high pressure 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: During the use of the Oral-B App, the Smart Pressure Sensor feedback may be inactive for some features.

NOTE: Smart Pressure Sensor is deactivated during «Tongue Clean» mode (depending on model).

BRUSH HEADS

Oral-B offers you a variety of different Oral-B iO brush heads (c/d) that only fit your Oral-B iO toothbrush handle and can be used for tooth-by-tooth precision cleaning.

Most 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, its color will fade half- way approximately within 3 months, indicating the need to exchange your brush head. If the bristles splay before the col- our recedes, you may exert too much pressure on teeth and gums.

In general, we recommend replacing the brush head every 3 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

$250? does it tell me the news and weather? where are the usb ports? what is the verbal command to sync with Alexa? windows 10 home or windows 10 pro?****

I like the way it cleans my teeth; my dental hygienist recommended it to me and I got my money worth.

What color are the brush heads included in the package for the Violet handle? Black or White?****

Ours came with white brush heads for the pink toothbrush, and black for the black.

does the brush head actually rotate or just vibrate?****

The brush head rotates.

It’s 110v-240v?****

110v only.

Do they make smaller brush heads?****

They do not. I purchased this toothbrush upon the recommendation of my dentist, but the head was too large for behind my back teeth. It actually tore up and caused damage to my gums in the very back of my mouth. I ended up returning the brush.

What is the normal charging time ? Will it charge full overnight or longer than that?****

The sleek magnetic charger that comes with our Oral-B iO Series 8 provides a fast full charge in just three hours.

Will the manufacturer be making small head refills? i.e. for braces & hard to reach molars/ wisdoms?****

It all costs money, me if I needed, would trim the head down using a Dremel tool and customize it to my mouth. Worth a try or get a water pic.

This says the battery is lithium ion. Can we finally change the battery ourselves?****

No, you cannot replace the battery in your Oral-B electric toothbrush. The battery is contained within the electronics of the toothbrush handle and the unit is then sealed to keep it water tight. For these reasons we do not provide replacement batteries for Oral-B electric toothbrushes.

Can you return it if it’s never be open ? I can’t use vibrating toothbrushes****

It depends on the return policy for Amazon.

Is it normal for a full battery to reduce to 94% after one use with “good” pressure? Great toothbrush, but I’ve had it for less than a week…****

We can assure you that our toothbrushes go through many quality checks to ensure that you can enjoy the best possible results with them. When the Oral-B iO is fully charged, it’ll display a 100% charge on the display. Every charging condition will be rounded down, and does not mean that 1 brush takes this amount of the battery. The Oral-B iO brushing time is around 10 days. It can vary between 7 and 14 days and it’s highly dependent on your individual brushing behavior.

Where can you buy replacement batteries? Mine no longer is charging****

I don’t think you can replace the battery.

What about this toothbrush vs the 9 toothbrush or the 7 … Good Lord .. Help me teeth ?****

Yes, it is fsa approved.

Where is it made, which country?****

It’s sourced out to those willing to build quality and value into each toothbrush.

What is the major difference between io series 8 and io series 9 model****

A few more brushing options but honestly, whatever option you select, you will be happy with whatever. I think the 9 has 16 options. I’m still using the same option that I originally selected out of the box. Works great still.
