SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Your Sonicare (Fig. 1)

A Replaceable HydroClean brush head B Battery indicator (select models) C Power on/off button D Battery compartment cap E User ID sticker location F 2 AA 1.5-volt batteries

Getting started Installing or replacing batteries

1 Remove the battery compartment cap from the

bottom of the handle by pulling on the grips (Fig. 2).

2 Insert two AA 1.5 volt batteries into the handle.

Make sure the + and - poles of the batteries match the indication on the inside of the handle (Fig. 3).

3 Firmly push the battery compartment cap back

onto the handle (Fig. 4).

Attaching the brush head

1 Align the front of the brush head with the front of

the toothbrush handle.

2 Push the brush head onto the shaft (Fig. 5).

User ID sticker

If you have multiple Sonicare battery toothbrushes in

your home, you can attach the white or silver sticker to the battery cap. This helps you identify your handle (Fig. 6).

Using your Sonicare

1 Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of

toothpaste.

2 Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a

slight angle towards the gumline (Fig. 7).

3 Hold the handle with a light grip and turn on the

Sonicare. Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small back and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth. Continue this motion throughout your 2-minute brushing cycle.

4 To maximize effectiveness, apply only light pressure

and let the toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do not scrub.

5 To 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 in section 3 (outside bottom teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving to section 4 (inside bottom teeth) for a total brushing time of 2 minutes (Fig. 8)

6 After you have completed the 2-minute brushing

cycle, you can spend additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas where staining occurs. You may also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer (Fig. 9).

Your Sonicare is safe to use on:

Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on

braces)

Dental restorations (llings, crowns, veneers)

Periodontal pockets

Features Smartimer 2-minute timer

After 2 minutes, the Smartimer automatically turns

off your toothbrush. To pause or stop brushing during your

2-minute cycle, press the power button. Press the power button within 30 seconds and the Smartimer picks up where you left off.

Battery indicator (select models)

The battery indicator shows the amount of power left in the batteries.

Solid green light indicates there are at least

16 two-minute brushings available (Fig. 10). Flashing green light indicates there are less than 16

brushings available. Three beeps at the end of a two-minute brushing

indicate that there are less than 4 two-minute brushings available.

Note: The toothbrush will turn on for one second then immediately shut off to indicate it is time to replace batteries.

Note: The number of brushings you get from new batteries may vary depending on the type of batteries you use.

Easy-start

This Sonicare model comes with the Easy-start

feature, which helps you get used to brushing with Sonicare. Brushing power gently increases to full power over

the rst 14 brushings.

Note: Each of the rst 14 brushings must be at least 1

minute in length to advance through the Easy-start ramp-up cycle properly.

Note: Prior to a clinical test, ensure that the Easy-start process has been completed, attach a new brush head and install new AA alkaline batteries.

Cleaning

Do not place brush heads and the handle in the dishwasher.

1 Rinse the brush head and bristles after each use.

Let the brush head air-dry only (Fig. 11).

2 Remove the brush head once a week and clean the

connection between the brush head and the handle (Fig. 12).

Do not use sharp objects to press on the rubber seal, as this may cause damage.

3 Clean the remainder of the handle periodically with

mild soap and a moist cloth (Fig. 13).

Storage

If you are not going to use the toothbrush for an extended period of time (a month or longer), remove the batteries, clean the appliance and store it in a cool and dry place.

Replacement Brush head

Replace Sonicare brush heads every 3 months to

achieve optimal results. Use only Sonicare HydroClean replacement brush

heads with the B400 model.

Disposal

Do not throw away the appliance with the normal

household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in

at an ofcial collection point for recycling. By doing

this, you help to preserve the environment (Fig. 14). This symbol represents Philips’ recommendation to

dispose of your AA batteries properly.
