Medical warnings

1) Avoid using a brush head with crushed or bent bristles. Damaged

bristles may break off while brushing. In order to prevent this, replace

the brush head with a new one every 6 months or sooner if signs of

wear appear.

2) Similar to starting with any new manual or electric oral hygiene

product, consult your dental professional before using this product if

you have had oral or gum surgery in the previous 2 months.

3) Contact your dental professional if excessive bleeding occurs after

using this product or bleeding continues to occur after 1 week of use.

4) If you have any questions concerning usage with a pacemaker, consult

your physician or pacemaker manufacturer prior to use. Sonicare is

believed to be safe for use with many common pacemakers.

5)The Sonicare toothbrush is a personal care device and is not

intended for use on multiple patients in a dental office or institution.

6)This product is designed for cleaning teeth, gums and tongue only.

contact the Philips Customer Care Centre in your country or visit our

Web site at www.philips.com.

Preparing for use

Attaching the brush head

C1Align the bar on the brush head with the notch on the handle

and slide the brush head onto the handle.

C2Screw the brush head nut clockwise until it's firmly tightened. If

the brush head rattles when in use, tighten the nut further.

3Remove the travel cap from your brush head.

Charging

◗Sonicare comes partially charged and ready for use, but we highly

advise that you charge it for a total of 21 hours during the first few

days of use.

ENGLISH 5

C1To charge your Sonicare, place the handle in the charger base

with the Sonicare logo facing towards you to ensure the handle

properly fits (slots) in the charger. Once the handle is placed in

the charger base, the power button light should illuminate or

blink to indicate charging is taking place.

Do not attempt to force the handle into the charger; this will cause

damage.

Older model Sonicare handles without the slotting feature will not fit in

this new charger base and do not charge effectively. Do not attempt to

force a handle without the slotting feature into this charger base, as this

will cause damage.

◗Sonicare handles with the slotting feature can be charged

effectively in most older Sonicare charger bases. (Note; these

handles are not compatible with charger modelTX-I).

It is recommended that you keep your Sonicare in the charger base

when not in use to maintain a full battery charge.After the initial

charging period, it takes 15 hours charging time to reach full charge

level.There is no need to periodically discharge handle.

Using the appliance

Useful tips

◗Gel toothpastes are recommended for optimal product

performance.

◗Place the brush head in your mouth before turning on your

Sonicare and keep your mouth closed during brushing, otherwise

toothpaste may splatter.

◗You may experience a slight tickling or tingling sensation when

using an electronic toothbrush such as Sonicare for the first time.

As you become accustomed to brushing with Sonicare this

sensitivity will diminish.

◗A fully charged Sonicare will provide approximately 2 weeks of

typical use (2 minutes of brushing twice a day), making it easy to

take your Sonicare along without the charger.

Remember that voltage converters and plug adapters DO NOT

guarantee voltage compatibility. Always check for voltage compatibility.

Tips for special needs

Stain removal

In areas where excess staining occurs, spend extra brushing time to

assist with stain removal.

ENGLISH6

Braces

C◗The brush should be placed at an angle between your brackets

and gumline. Using light pressure, gently move the bristles in a

small circular motion so the longer bristles reach between your

teeth for 2 seconds.Then gently turn (roll) the brush handle so

the bristles clean the bracket and the rest of the tooth before you

glide the bristles to the next tooth. Continue this until you have

brushed all of your teeth.

Dental restorations (dental work)

Use Sonicare on dental restorations (such as implants, caps, crowns,

bridges and fillings) as you would on your natural tooth surfaces to

reduce plaque build-up and improve gum health.Work the bristles

around all the areas of the restoration for thorough cleaning.

Periodontal pockets

Your dental professional may have indicated that you have periodontal

pockets, deep pockets where plaque bacteria collect. If this is the case,

after brushing for a full 2 minutes, spend extra time gently brushing

these areas to improve your gum health.

Brushing technique

Follow these simple steps to maximize your brushing experience.

1Before turning the Sonicare on, place the bristles of the brush

head along the gumline with the longer bristles placed between

your teeth.

C2Position the bristles of the brush head towards the gumline and

close your mouth.

3Hold the handle with a light grip and turn the Sonicare on.

4Gently move the vibrating brush head in a slightly circular

motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth.After

2 seconds, glide the bristles to the next section and pause

while you gently circulate the bristles again. Continue this

routine throughout your 2-minute brushing cycle to effectively

remove plaque in those hard-to-reach places.

5To maximize Sonicare's effectiveness use light pressure and let

the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do not scrub.

C6To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide

your mouth into 4 sections: outside top, inside top, outside

bottom and inside bottom teeth. Begin brushing in section 1

(outside top teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving to

section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue brushing for 30 seconds

ENGLISH 7

in each section progressing through all 4 sections untill you’ve

brushed for 2 minutes

7After the 2-minute brushing cycle is complete, additional time

should be spent brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth.

Press the power button to turn the brush on and off as needed.

To clean your mouth more completely, you may also brush your

tongue, with the toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer.

Remember to floss daily.

Features

Easy-start\brushing power ramp-up

◗All Sonicare models come with the Easy-start feature activated

(on), which helps you get used to brushing with Sonicare.

◗Brushing power will gently increase to full power over the first

12 brushings.

◗The Easy-start feature is active if you hear 2 beeps immediately

after turning on your Sonicare. Once you reach optimal brushing

power (after the 12th brushing), you will no longer hear the

double beep at the beginning of your brushing routine.

◗Note: each of the first 12 brushings must be at least 1 minute in

length to properly move through the Easy-start ramp-up cycle.

To turn off or reactivate the Easy-start feature:

1Attach your brush head to the handle.

2Place the handle in a plugged-in charger base.

3Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.You will hear

1 beep if the Easy-start feature is off. If you hear 2 beeps, Easy-

start is active (on).

Using the Easy-start feature beyond the initial ramp-up period is not

recommended and reduces Sonicare's effectiveness in removing

plaque.

The Easy-start feature should be deactivated when Sonicare is used in

clinical trials.

Smartimer\2-minute timer

◗All Sonicare models come with the Smartimer feature, which

automatically sets the brushing time to the 2 minutes

recommended by dental professionals.

◗If you wish to pause or stop brushing during your 2-minute cycle,

press the power button. Press the power button again and the

Smartimer will pick up where you left off.

ENGLISH8

◗The Smartimer will automatically reset to the beginning of a

2-minute cycle if:

-brushing is paused for 30 seconds or longer;

-the handle is returned to the charger base.

Quadpacer\30-second interval timer (available on select

models).

C◗Quadpacer makes sure that you brush all sections of your mouth

evenly and thoroughly.At 30, 60 and 90 seconds, you will hear a

short beep and a pause in brushing action.This is your signal to

move to the next section of your mouth.

Recharge indicator battery charge status (available on

select models).

◗If your Sonicare has a low charge, you will hear 5 beeps after you

have brushed your teeth for 2 minutes and the power button light

will flash rapidly.

When you hear the low charge indication, you have 3 or fewer

2-minute brushings left.

C1Place the handle in the charger base (with the Sonicare logo

facing towards you) to begin the recharging process.

◗The power button light flashes slowly when the handle is in the

charger base to signal charging is in progress.

◗When the Sonicare is fully charged, the power button light is

constantly on (not flashing), signalling that your Sonicare is ready

for use.

When not in use, keep your Sonicare in the charger base to maintain a

full battery charge.

Cleaning

By following these simple steps, you should get years of

worry-free brushing:

C1Rinse brush head and bristles after each use.

ENGLISH 9

C2Clean the brush head at least once per week, including under

the nut.

C3Clean and dry the handle periodically.

4Clean the charger base periodically.
