Dentists recommend that you brush your teeth gently to avoid tooth and gum abrasion. Exclusive HoMedics’ Smart Sensor™technology activates the brushing action when just the lightest amount of pressure is applied, to help protect teeth and gums and reinforce proper brushing habits.

CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS

Follow this procedure before you use the PowerDent Ultra for the first time.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in apolarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

1. Plug the charger base into a 120-volt outlet. Place the handle into the base and allow it to charge for at least 16 hours before using it for the first time.
2. The charger indicator light on the handle will glow red when the tooth brush is correctly placed in the charger base. This is an indication that the handle is charging. The indicator will turn off when the toothbrush is removed from the base.
3. The optimum voltage for charging is 120 V.
4. To maintain the unit’s full performance, it should always be replaced back on the charging base after use.

HOW TO USE POWERDENT ULTRA

1. Attach the brush head to the handle by positioning the brush head at a 90-degree angle to the left of the handle (See Figure A). Turn the brush head counter clock-wise one-quarter turn, so the bristles are facing the same direction as the ON/OFF button, and the brush head will snap into place. The Smart Sensor logo will be facing forward as will the bristles. (See Figure B)

2. Before brushing, wet the brush head to moisten, then apply toothpaste.

3. TO USE WITH SMART SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
   Push the ON/OFF button briefly, and the corresponding LED light will glow green, indicating that the power is ON. Apply brush head against your teeth to activate the toothbrush (See Figure C). Unit will not operate (no function) until pressure is applied to the brush head. If you do not apply pressure to the brush head for 15 seconds the unit will turn off, along with the green LED light.
   TO USE WITHOUT SMART SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
   Press and hold the ON/OFF button for about 2 seconds, after which time the unit will automatically begin working. This option, to override the Smart Sensor feature, is available for those who have learned how to brush with a light touch or would prefer not to use this feature.

4. Guide the brush head to your teeth, placing it at a 45 degree angle towards the gum line. Gently guide the brush head from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on the surface of each tooth.
