Using your Philips Sonicare toothbrush

Brushing instructions

1Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of

toothpaste.

2Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth

at a slight angle (45 degrees), pressing rmly to

make the bristles reach the gumline or slightly

beneath the gumline.

Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact

with the teeth at all times.

3Press the power on/o and mode button to

turn on the Philips Sonicare.

4Gently keep the bristles placed on the teeth

and in the gumline. Brush your teeth with

small back and forth motion so the bristles

reach between the teeth. Continue this motion

throughout your brushing cycle.

Note: The bristles should slightly are. Do not

scrub.

5To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth,

tilt the brush handle semi-upright and make

several vertical overlapping brushing strokes on

each tooth.

Note: To make sure you brush evenly

throughout the mouth, divide your mouth into

4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see

chapter ‘Features’).

6Begin brushing in section 1 (outside upper

teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before

you move to section 2 (inside upper teeth).

Continue brushing in section 3 (outside lower

teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before you

move to section 4 (inside lower teeth).

7After you have completed the brushing cycle,

you can spend additional time brushing the

chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas

where staining occurs. You can also brush your

tongue, with the toothbrush turned on or o, as

you prefer.

Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to use

on:

-Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when

used on braces)

-Dental restorations (llings, crowns, veneers)

Note: Ensure that braces or dental restorations are

properly adhered and not compromised. If not,

braces or dental restorations may be damaged

when they come into contact with the brush head.

Note: When the Philips Sonicare toothbrush is

used in clinical studies, the handle should be fully

charged and the Easy-start feature deactivated.

Battery status (when handle is not on charger)

This Philips Sonicare toothbrush is designed to

provide at least 20 brushing sessions, each session

lasting 2 minutes. The battery level indicator

shows the battery status when you complete the

2-minute brushing session, or when you pause the
