First use – Connecting
and charging

Prior to first use, you may briefly place the handle (5) on
the plugged-in charging unit (9) to activate it. Once the
charge level display (8) illuminates, it is ready for use.
Note: In case battery is empty (no lights illuminated on
charge level display), charge at least for 30 minutes.

Charging and operating information

Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically
safe and designed for use in the bathroom.

• To charge the handle (5), place it on the plugged-in
charging unit (9). The charge level is indicated on the
charge level display (8). The flashing lights indicate
that the handle is charging (picture ➀); once it is fully
charged, the lights turn off. A full charge takes about
12 hours and enables up to 12 days of regular
brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes). Note: At a very
low charge level, the lights might not flash
immediately; it can take up to 10 minutes.

• If the battery is running low, a red light is flashing on
the charge level display and the motor is reducing its
speed. Once the battery is empty, the motor will stop;
it will need at least a 30-minute charge for one usage.

• You can always store the handle on the plugged-in
charging unit to maintain it at full power; a battery
overcharge is prevented by device.
Note: Store handle at room temperature for optimal
battery maintenance.
Caution: Do not expose handle to temperatures
higher than 50°C.

Using your toothbrush

Brushing technique

Wet brush head and apply any kind of toothpaste. To
avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth
before switching on the handle (picture ➁). When
brushing your teeth with one of the Oral-B oscillating-
rotating brush heads guide the brush head slowly
from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each
tooth surface (picture ➂). When using the Oral-B «Deep
Sweep» brush head place the toothbrush bristles
against the teeth at a slight angle towards the gumline.
Apply light pressure and start brushing in back and
forth motions, just like you would do with a manual
toothbrush.
With any brush head start brushing the outsides, then
the insides and finally 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.

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» mode (optional in combination
with an Oral-B «Sensitive» brush head).

Smart Ring features

Your toothbrush is equipped with a Smart Ring (2) that
has various functionalities indicated via different colors
of light:
White (default) = Operating and visual timer light
(choose individual color via Oral-B™ app settings)
Red = Pressure sensor light
Blue = Bluetooth® pairing indicator

8

Timer
You can choose between «Professional» or «2-Minute»
timer.

The «2-Minute» timer signals with a long stuttering
sound and a flashing light of the Smart Ring (2) that the
professionally recommended 2-minute brushing time
has been reached.

The «Professional» timer signals with a short stuttering
sound and a flashing light of the Smart Ring at
30-seconds intervals to move to the next quadrant of
your mouth (picture ➂). A long stuttering sound and a
flashing light indicate 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,
briefly pressing the mode button (4) during pause or
placing the handle on the plugged-in charger.
Note: During the use of special Oral-B™ app features,
the visual timer light may be deactivated.

Timer setup:

Your toothbrush comes with the «Professional» timer
activated. To change this, press and hold the mode
button (4) for 2 seconds. Toggle between timer
selection by pressing the on/off button (3). Confirm
selection by pressing the mode button.

• 2 LED’s illuminated indicate «2-Minute» timer

• 4 LED’s illuminated indicate «Professional» timer

Note: You can also set/advance the timer functionality
via Oral-B™ App.

Pressure sensor
If you put excessive pressure on your teeth, the Smart
Ring (2) will light up in red and the motor speed will be
reduced in «Daily Clean», «Pro Clean» and «Sensitive»
mode (picture ➂). Periodically check the operation of
the pressure sensor by pressing moderately on the
brush head during use.

Brushing modes (depending on model)

Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes
indicated on the brushing mode display (6) on your
handle («Daily Clean» mode does not illuminate on the
brushing mode display):

«Daily Clean»

– Standard mode for daily mouth

cleaning

«Pro Clean»

– For an extraordinary clean

feeling (operated with a higher
frequency)

«Sensitive»

– Gentle, yet thorough cleaning

for sensitive areas

«3D White»

– Polishing for occasional or

everyday use

«Gum Care»

– Gentle massage of gums

«Tongue Clean» – Tongue cleaning for occasional

or everyday use

When operating the «Tongue Clean» mode, we
recommend using the «Sensitive» brush head. 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 is
20 seconds; indicated with a flashing light of the Smart
Ring.

Your toothbrush automatically starts in the mode
selected last. To switch to other modes, successively
press the mode button during use (picture ➃). To return
from any mode back to «Daily Clean» mode, press and
hold the mode button (4).

Note: You can also set/advance the mode functionality
via Oral-B™ App.

Brush heads

Oral-B offers you a variety of different Oral-B brush
heads that fit your Oral-B toothbrush handle.

Our oscillating-rotating brush heads can be used for
tooth-by-tooth precision cleaning.

Oral-B CrossAction brush head

Our most advanced brush head. Angled
bristles for a precise clean. Lifts and
powers away plaque.

Oral-B FlossAction brush head

features micropulse bristles that allow for
an outstanding plaque removal in the
interdental areas.

Oral-B 3D White brush head

features a special polishing cup to
naturally whiten your teeth. Please note
that children under 12 years old should
not use the Oral-B «3D White» brush
head.

Oral-B Sensitive brush head

features an extra soft bristle structure
that is gentle on teeth and gums.

9

Our dynamic «Deep Sweep» brush head can be used
with all common brushing techniques.

Oral-B Deep Sweep brush head

features triple zone cleaning action for
outstanding plaque removal, even in
between teeth.

Oral-B brush heads feature light blue INDICATOR®
bristles to help you monitor brush head replacement
need. With thorough brushing, twice a day for two
minutes, the blue color will fade halfway approximately
within 3 months, indicating the need to exchange your
brush head. If the bristles splay before the color
recedes, you may exert too much pressure on teeth
and gums.

We do not recommend using the Oral-B «FlossAction»
or Oral-B «3D White» brush head with braces. You may
use the Oral-B «Ortho» brush head, specifically
designed to clean around braces and wires.

Connecting your
toothbrush to your
Smartphone

The Oral-B™ App is available for mobile devices
running iOS or Android operating systems. It can be
downloaded for free from App Store

SM

or Google
Play™.
The Oral-B™ App gives you the opportunity to chart
your brushing progress and customize your toothbrush
settings (for many more benefits see the Oral-B™ App
instructions).

• Start the Oral-B™ App. The app will guide you

through the entire Bluetooth pairing procedure.
Note: Oral-B™ App functionality is limited if
Bluetooth wireless technology is deactivated on
your smartphone (for directions please refer to your
smartphone’s user manual).

• Any app instructions will be displayed on your

smartphone.

• If Bluetooth wireless technology is activated on your

handle, the Bluetooth symbol on the radio
transmission display (7) illuminates. Once the handle
is paired, the Smart Ring (2) flashes briefly.

• Keep your smartphone in close proximity (within

5m/16ft distance) when using it with the handle.
Make sure the smartphone is safely positioned in a
dry place.

Note: Your smartphone must support Bluetooth 4.0 (or
higher)/Bluetooth Smart in order to pair your handle.

Cleaning
recommendations

water with the handle switched on. Switch off and
remove the brush head. Clean handle and brush head
separately; wipe them dry before reassembling. Unplug
the charging unit before cleaning. Brush head
