ENGLISH4

Preparing for use

Attaching the brush head

C1Place the brush head onto the handle by sliding the ribs on the

inside of the nut into the grooves in the top of the handle.

C2Screw the brush head nut clockwise until it is firmly tightened.

If the brush head rattles during use, tighten the nut further.

3Remove the travel cap from the brush head before you start

brushing.

C4Store excess cord by winding it round the cord storage hooks

in the bottom of the charger.

Charging

Charge the Sonicare for at least 24 hours during the first few days of

use.

We advise you to keep the Sonicare in the plugged-in charger when

not in use to maintain a full battery charge.When the battery is empty,

it takes at least 24 hours to fully charge the Sonicare.

C1To charge the Sonicare, place the handle properly in the

charger with the on/off button facing towards the front of the

charger.

Make sure the bottom of the handle sits back securely in the charger,

making complete contact.

C◗When the handle is placed incorrectly in the charger, the charging

light may still go on, but charging will not take place.

ENGLISH 5

The handles of other Sonicare models do not fit in this charger and will

therefore not charge effectively. Do not attempt to force a handle into

this charger, as this will cause damage.

Using the appliance

Useful tips

◗We advise you to use gel toothpastes to ensure optimal

performance.

◗Place the brush head in your mouth before switching the

appliance on and keep your mouth closed during brushing to

prevent splattering of toothpaste.

◗You may experience a slight tickling or tingling sensation when

using an electronic toothbrush such as the Sonicare for the first

time.As you become accustomed to brushing with the Sonicare,

this sensitivity will diminish.

◗A fully charged Sonicare allows you brush your teeth for 2

minutes twice a day for approximately 2 weeks without charging,

making it easy to travel without the charger.

Brushing technique

C1Before switching the Sonicare on, place the bristles of the

brush head on your gumline at a 45-degree angle.

2Hold the handle with a light grip, switch the Sonicare on and

gently move the bristles in a small circular motion so that the

longer bristles reach between your teeth.After a few seconds,

pass the bristles to the next section. Continue this routine

throughout the 2-minute brushing cycle.

3To maximise the effectiveness of the Sonicare toothbrush, use

light pressure and let the Sonicare do the brushing for you.

Do not scrub.

C4To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide

your mouth into 4 sections: outside upper teeth, inside upper

teeth, outside lower teeth and inside lower teeth. Begin

brushing the first section (outside upper teeth) and brush for

30 seconds before moving to the next section (inside upper

teeth). Continue brushing the other two sections for 30

seconds each until you have completed the 2-minute brushing

cycle.

5After the 2-minute brushing cycle, you can switch the Sonicare

briefly back on again to brush the chewing surfaces of your

teeth.

Press the on/off button to switch the Sonicare on or off as needed.

ENGLISH6

To clean your mouth more completely, you can also brush your tongue

with the toothbrush switched on or off, as you prefer.

Tips for specific oral care needs

Stain removal

◗For even better stain removal, dedicate extra brushing time to

areas where excess staining occurs.

Braces

C◗Place the brush head at a 45-degree angle between the brackets

and the 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 roll the brush handle so the

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

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

brushed all your teeth. Please note that brush heads will wear out

sooner when used on braces.

Dental restorations

◗Use the 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

◗If your dentist has indicated that you have periodontal pockets

(deep pockets where plaque bacteria collect), you can improve

your gum health by dedicating extra brushing time to the problem

areas after having completed your regular 2-minute brushing

cycle.

Features

Easy-start\

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

which helps you get used to brushing with the Sonicare.

◗The 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 switching the Sonicare on. Once the Sonicare has reached

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

longer hear the 2 beeps at the beginning of each brushing cycle.

BNote: each of the first 12 brushings must be at least 1 minute long to

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

ENGLISH 7

To deactivate or activate the Easy-start feature:

1Attach the brush head to the handle.

2Place the handle in the plugged-in charger.

3To deactivate the Easy-start feature, press and hold the on/off

button for 5 seconds.You will hear 1 beep to indicate that the

Easy-start feature has been deactivated.

4To activate the Easy-start feature, press and hold the on/off

button for 5 seconds.You will hear 2 beeps to indicate that the

Easy-start feature has been activated.

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

recommended and reduces the effectiveness of the Sonicare

toothbrush in removing plaque.

The Easy-start feature should be deactivated and the handle fully

charged when the Sonicare is used in clinical trials.

Smartimer\

◗The Smartimer automatically sets the brushing time to the

2 minutes recommended by dentists and dental hygienists.

◗After 2 minutes the Smartimer automatically switches the

toothbrush off.

◗If you wish to stop brushing briefly during a 2-minute brushing

cycle, press the on/off button.When you press the on/off button

again, the Smartimer will resume the brushing cycle at the point

where you stopped.

◗The Smartimer will automatically reset to the beginning of a

2-minute cycle if:

- you stop brushing for 30 seconds or longer;

- you put the handle in the charger.

Quadpacer\(specific models only)

C◗The Quadpacer 30-second interval timer ensures 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 start brushing the next section of

your mouth.

Battery charge indication (specific models only).

◗When the battery is running low, you hear 5 beeps after the

2-minute brushing cycle and the charging light blinks rapidly.

When you hear the low charge indication, there are 3 or fewer

2-minute brushings left.

ENGLISH8

C1Place the handle in the charger (with the on/off button facing

towards the front of the charger) to recharge the appliance.

◗The charging light blinks slowly when the handle is in the charger

base to indicate that charging is in progress.

◗When the Sonicare is fully charged, the charging light burns

continuously to indicate that the Sonicare is ready for use.

Keep the Sonicare in the charger when you are not using it to maintain

a full battery charge.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning guarantees the best performance and a long life for

your appliance.

C1Rinse the brush head and bristles after each brushing.

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

removable nut.

To remove the nut:

C◗Gently press on the rubber seal with your thumbs.

Avoid using sharp objects to push on the seal as this may cause

damage.

C◗Pull the nut up over the top of the brush head.

To reattach the nut, slip the nut over the brush head shaft and pull it

down until it snaps home.

ENGLISH 9

C3Clean and dry the handle periodically.

4Clean the charger periodically.

Unplug the charger before cleaning it.After cleaning the charger, dry it

completely before putting the plug back into the wall socket.

We advise you to use a mild cleaning agent, water and a moist cloth to

clean the Sonicare.

it stops. Repeat this step until the Sonicare will no longer

operate.

part of the handle, push the screwdriver blade into the handle

as far as it will go and twist the blade.The housing will begin to
