speed and the Smart Pressure Sensor (3) shortly blinks
in red. Once the battery is empty, the motor stops; it
will need at least a 30-minute charge for one usage.
Note: In case the battery is empty (display off),
at least 30 minutes.

Using your toothbrush
Start Brushing
Place the brush head on the handle. A small gap should
remain between handle and brush head.
Lift the handle off the plugged-in charger or simply pick
it up to wake up the handle (display turns on). Wet brush
head and apply toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the
brush head to your teeth before switching the handle on
by pressing the on/off button.
Note: Display turns off after some time. You may press
the on/off button to activate display again.
Guide the brush head from tooth to tooth. Brush the
outsides, the insides and the chewing surfaces. Brush
all four quadrants of your mouth equally. You may also
consult your dentist or dental hygienist about the right
technique for you.
After Brushing, the display gives you feedback based on
your brushing time.
In the first days of using any electric toothbrush, your
gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop
after a few days. Should it persist after 2 weeks, please
consult your dentist or dental hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth and/or gums, Oral-B recommends using the
«Sensitive» or «Super Sensitive» modes (optional in combination with an Oral-B «Gentle Care» brush head (d)).
Availability of modes are depending on model purchased.
Timer
The timer signals with a short stuttering sound at 30-sec-
onds intervals to move to the next quadrant of your
mouth. A long stuttering sound indicates the end of the
professionally recommended 2-minute brushing time.
The timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time, even
when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing.
The timer resets if pausing longer than 30 seconds or
placing the handle on the plugged-in charger.
Note: During the use of the Oral-B App, the timer may be
deactivated for some features.
Note: You may also customize the timer settings via
Oral-B App.

Smart Pressure Sensor features (a)
Your toothbrush is equipped with a Smart Pressure
Sensor (3) that has various functionalities indicated via
different colours of light:
White (default) = Operating indicator (choose individual
colour via Oral-B App (b)) / Low pressure indicator
Red = high pressure indicator / low battery indicator
Green = recommended pressure indicator
Blue = Bluetooth pairing indicator
Orange = Error indicator (follow display messages)
Brush with the right pressure indicated with a green light.
If too much pressure is applied, it lights up in red reminding you to reduce pressure. If the Smart Pressure Sensor
illuminates in white (or your pre-selected colour), we
recommend applying more pressure.
During high pressure the brush head movement will
be reduced (in «Daily Clean», «Intense» and
«Sensitive» modes).
Periodically check the operation of the Smart Pressure
Sensor by pressing moderately on the brush head during
use.
Note: During the use of the Oral-B App, the Smart
Pressure Sensor feedback may be inactive for some
features.
Note: Smart Pressure Sensor is deactivated during
«Tongue Clean» mode (depending on model).
Brushing modes (depending on model)
Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes indicated on the display:
«Daily Clean» – Standard mode for daily cleaning

«Intense» – For an extraordinary clean feeling (operated

«Tongue Clean» – Tongue cleaning for occasional or
everyday use
Note: The sequence and availability of brushing modes
may vary depending on model purchased.
30
When operating the «Tongue Clean» mode, we recommend using a «Gentle Care» brush head (d). You can
brush your tongue either with or without toothpaste.
Brush the whole area of your tongue systematically in
gentle movements. The recommended brushing time
30 seconds; the motor stops after 30 seconds.

Brush heads
Oral-B offers you a variety of different Oral-B iO brush
heads (c/d) that only fit your Oral-B iO toothbrush handle
and can be used for tooth-by-tooth precision cleaning.
31
Most iO Oral-B brush heads feature INDICATOR® bristles
to help you monitor brush head replacement need. With
thorough brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the colour will fade halfway approximately within 3 months,
indicating the need to exchange your brush head. If the
bristles splay before the colour recedes, you may exert
too much pressure on teeth and gums.
In general, we recommend replacing the brush head
every 3 months.
