the product is purchased and operated in the USA. A product that

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Note: The handle may warm up during charging. This has no effect on the
unit’s operation. VibraDent Sparkle comes with 3 color coded brush heads for
multiple users.
CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
Follow this procedure before you use
VibraDent Sparkle 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 a polarized
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 will show red
when the unit is correctly placed in the
charger base. The indicator will go out
when the toothbrush is removed from the
base.
3. The optimum voltage for charging is 120V.
4. To maintain the unit’s full performance, it
should always be stored on the charging
base after use.
Note: Charge for at least 16 hours before
using the unit for the first time.
HOW TO USE VIBRADENT SPARKLE
1. Attach the brush head to the handle by positioning
the brush head at a 90o angle to the left of the
handle. Turn the brush head counter clockwise one
quarter turn, so the bristles are facing the same
direction as the ON/OFF button. (See Fig.1)
2. Before brushing, rinse your mouth thoroughly and
wet the brush head to moisten, then apply tooth
paste.
3. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your
teeth before switching the unit on. Place the brush in a
slanted position, 45o towards the gum line.
4. Press the “ON” button to activate the unit.
5. Gently guide the brush head from tooth to tooth,
spending a few seconds on the surface of each
tooth.
6. Brush the gum lines as well as the teeth, starting
with the outside teeth and gums, followed by the
insides and finishing with the chewing surfaces.
7. Do not press too hard or scrub with VibraDent Sparkle.
Allow the unit to do the work.
8. The auto timer feature will automatically turn the unit off
after the 2-minute dentist recommended brushing time.
NOTE: To turn the unit off before the 2 minutes have
elapsed, simply press the “OFF” button.
9. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water.
10. Brush heads should be replaced every 2-3 months
to ensure optimal performance.
HoMedics replacement heads (RH-V) for this
model are available at your local retailer or check
www.homedics.com for a list of retailers that offer
these replacement heads.
Note: To maintain optimal performance, we recommend
that you replace your brush head every 2-3 months.
Note: We recommend soaking the brush head in a denture
cleaner (commercially available) every 2
to 4 weeks to keep it hygienically clean.
Caution: All servicing of this
unit must be performed by authorized
HoMedics service personnel only.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. After use, rinse the brush head for several seconds
under running water with the handle switched on.
2. Switch the handle off, and take off the brush head.
3. Rinse both parts separately under running water
and wipe them dry. Note: Be sure to point the
handle downward (upside down) when rinsing. Do
not allow water to drain down into the handle.
4. After cleaning place the VibraDent Sparkle handle
back on the charging base.
5. When VibraDent Sparkle is not in use for an
extended period, unplug the cord and store.
6. Clean the charger base periodically with a soft cloth
or paper towel. The charger base must be dry
before plugging it into an electrical outlet.
MEDICAL SAFEGUARDS
Please note the following instructions for your continued
safety.
1. Similar to starting any new oral hygiene product,
contact your dentist before using VibraDent Sparkle if
you have had oral or periodontal surgery.
2. Contact your dentist if excessive bleeding occurs or if
bleeding continues after 2 weeks.
3. This product is designed for cleaning teeth and gums
only. Do not use for any other purpose.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
REMOVING AND DISPOSING OF NI-CAD BATTERIES
VibraDent Sparkle is equipped with long-lasting,
rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries. To help protect
our environment, they should be removed at the end of
the unit’s life for safe disposal. Batteries CANNOT be
replaced.
To remove the batteries before discarding product:
1. Place the handle in the charging base and turn
counter clockwise to remove the cap.
2. Slide the battery out of the handle and remove.
3. Dispose of the cell-pack in compliance with national or
local regulations for environmental protection and
recycling of raw materials. Do not dispose of the
cell-pack by burning or incineration.

warranty.

Any bleeding should
stop within a few days. If your gums continue to bleed for a period of 2 weeks
or more,
discontinue use and consult your dentist.
