CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
Follow this procedure before you use
VibraDent for the first time
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
1. Plug the charger base into a 120-volt outlet.
Place VibraDent handle into the base and
allow it to charge for at least 16 hours
before using it for the first time.
2. The charger indicator light will show green
when VibraDent is correctly placed in the
charger base. The indicator will go out
when the toothbrush is removed from the
base.
3. The optimum voltage for charging is 120V.
4. To maintain the unit’s full performance, it
should always be stored on the charging
base after use.

insides and finishing with the chewing surfaces.
7. Do not press too hard or scrub with VibraDent.
Allow VibraDent to do the work.
