Troubleshooting

How do I charge my Philips Sonicare

toothbrush

Charging the battery of your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is easy as 1-2-3. Find out how to charge

your Philips Sonicare toothbrush properly.

Most Philips Sonicare toothbrushes

1) Plug the charger into a live electric power outlet

2) Place the handle on the charger

3) The flashing light on the handle indicates that the toothbrush is charging

4) It takes at least 24 hours to fully charge the battery

Please note:

In step 3 above, if the battery charge indicator on the handle does not blink green, you

may not have the charger plugged into a live outlet. To confirm that the charger is

plugged into a live outlet, press the on/off button while the handle is sitting on the

charger.

The handle should not activate when it is charging in a normal manner. If the handle

turns on in the charger, repeat steps 1 - 3 using a different power outlet. If you repeat the

procedure and your handle continues to activate while on the charger, contact the Philips

call center for instructions

DiamondClean Smart toothbrush

3) Place your Philips Sonicare DiamondClean or DiamondClean smart into the glass in an

upright position

does not start flashing, keep the handle in the charger for at least 10-15 minutes to allow the

toothbrush to recover

Philips Sonicare PowerUp

For PowerUp, the procedure for checking to see if the handle is charging is different:

2) Place the handle on the charger

brushing twice a day for 2 minutes each session.

Smart reminder

DiamondClean Smart Premium brush heads will remind you to replace your brush head based on

your brushing habits. The replacement icon on the handle will start to flash amber when it's time

to replace your brush head. When applying the correct pressure and brushing twice a day for 2

minutes, you can expect the reminder to come up approximately after 3 months.

Why is there a gap between my brush head

and Philips Sonicare handle?

The gap between the brush head and the Philips Sonicare handle is completely normal. Find out

A small gap is necessary

A small gap is necessary. The Philips Sonicare Brush head must be free to move in order to

deliver the vibrations needed to clean your teeth.
