Preparing for use

To attach the Sonicare brush head:

C1Align the front of the brush head with the front of the

toothbrush handle. Match the bars on the brush head with the

notches inside the top of the handle and slide the brush head

onto the handle.

4235 020 01181 14-01-2003 16:52 Pagina 4 (Zwart/Process Black Plaat)

C2Turn the brush head nut clockwise until it is firmly tightened. If

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

Charging your Sonicare\

Sonicare comes with the batteries completely discharged and should

be charged for at least 24 hours during the first few days of use.

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

the Sonicare logo facing forward. Be 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 green

charge indicator LED may illuminate, but charging will not take

place.

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.

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

not in use to maintain a full battery charge. It takes at least 24 hours to

fully charge Sonicare's battery.

Using the appliance

Useful tips

◗You can use your favorite toothpaste with your Sonicare.

◗The brush head comes with a convenient travel cap. Remove the

travel cap from the brush head before turning on your Sonicare.

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

Sonicare, and be sure it is turned off before removing it from your

mouth, otherwise toothpaste may splatter.

◗Rinse the brush head and bristles after each use.

◗Clean the brush head weekly, including under the nut.

◗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: voltage converters and plug adapters DO NOT guarantee

voltage compatibility. Always check for voltage compatibility.

Tips for specific oral care needs

◗Stain removal

In areas where staining occurs, a few seconds of additional brushing

time may be spent to assist with stain removal.

C◗Braces

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 that the long 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 move the bristles to

the next tooth. Continue this until you have brushed all of your teeth.

◗Dental restorations

Use Sonicare on dental restorations (e.g. implants, caps, crowns, bridges

and fillings) as you would on your normal tooth surfaces to reduce

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

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.You may want to take

advantage of the Programmable Quadpacer\timer feature on the

7800 series model (see Programmable Quadpacer timer section).

Proper 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.

C2Slightly tilt the handle so that the bristles are placed on the

gumline at an angle.

3Hold the handle with a light 'fingertip' 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

a few 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 hard-to-reach places.

4235 020 01181 14-01-2003 16:52 Pagina 6 (Zwart/Process Black Plaat)

5To maximize Sonicare's effectiveness apply only light pressure

and let the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do

not scrub.

6The angled brush head and slender neck help you reach the

back teeth and the tooth surfaces on the inside of the mouth.

Be sure to adjust your brushing to use the angle to your

advantage and keep as many bristles in contact with the teeth

as possible.

C7To 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

in each section progressing through all 4 sections until you've

brushed for 2 minutes. If activated, the Quadpacer\timer will

beep every 30 seconds to signal you to move to the next

quadrant.

8After having completed the 2-minute brushing cycle, your

Sonicare will automatically turn off. If you want, you can turn

the toothbrush back on for another brushing cycle and spend

additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth.

9You may also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush turned

on or off, as you prefer.

10 You may experience a slight tickling or tingling sensation after

using an electronic toothbrush such as Sonicare for the first

time.As you become accustomed to brushing with Sonicare

this sensation will diminish.

Remember to floss daily.

Special features

Features that simplify brushing:

Easy-start\brushing power ramp-up

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

which helps you get used to brushing with Sonicare.

◗Brushing power will gently increase to full power over the first 14

brushings.

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

after turning on your Sonicare. Once the appliance has reached

optimal brushing power (after the 14th brushing), you will no

longer hear the double beep at the beginning of your brushing

routine.

4235 020 01181 14-01-2003 16:52 Pagina 7 (Zwart/Process Black Plaat)

BNote: Each of the first 14 brushings must be at least 1 minute in length

to properly advance 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 the plugged-in charger.

3To deactivate Easy-start:

Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds.You will hear 1 beep to

indicate that the Easy-start feature has been deactivated.

4To reactivate Easy-start:

Press and hold the power button until you hear 2 beeps.This indicates

that the Easy-start feature is active again.

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.After these 2 minutes, your

Sonicare will automatically turn off. If you wish to brush for a

longer period, simply press the power button and another 2-

minute cycle will start.

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

press the power button. If you press the power button again, the

Smartimer will resume where you left off.

BThe 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.

Quadpacer\30-second interval timer

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

evenly and thoroughly.At 30-second intervals (at 30, 60 and 90

seconds in case of a 2-minute brushing cycle), 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.

Programmable Quadpacer timer (series 7800)

The Programmable Quadpacer timer offers you the option of

customizing the Quadpacer performance in 1 of 3 ways:

◗You may opt to keep the factory default setting of a 2-minute

brushing time with Quadpacer beeps activated.

◗You may choose to extend your brushing time to 2 1/2 minutes by

adding an additional timing interval of 30 seconds.

◗You may choose a 2-minute brushing time, but with the Quadpacer

beeps turned off.

To change the Quadpacer settings:

1Place the handle in the charger that is plugged into a live

electrical outlet.

C2Press the Dual Speed Control button briefly and note which

LED lights up.

3Press and hold the Dual Speed Control button. Continue to

hold the button while the LEDs slowly cycle through the timing

interval setting options:

C◗Green LED in position 4: Quadpacer active (factory default

setting).

C◗Green LED in top (5th) position: 2 1/2 minute setting -

Quadpacer active with additional timing interval of 30 seconds.
