Preparing the appliance for use
Mounting the appliance to the wall
1 Mount the charging unit to the wall, using 2
screws (3.0x30mm) and 2 wall plugs (S5) (not
included) (fig. 1+2).
◗ To drill the holes in the right places, you can use the
drilling stencil on the last page of these directions for
use .
Charging the appliance
1 Charge the appliance for at least 16 hours before
using it for the first time.
◗ Make sure the appliance is switched off when you
start charging it (fig. 3).
◗ You can put the toothbrush in the stand and let it
charge continuously.
However, when you first start using the appliance, it is
recommended that you use it until the battery is empty.
To do so, use the appliance in the normal way without
recharging it between the brushing sessions. Recharge
the appliance when the motor almost stops running.
Repeat this procedure 3 times in a ro. To extend the
lifetime of the battery, repeat this procedure every
6 months.
◗ You can put the toothbrush in the stand and let it
charge continuously.
Using the appliance
1 Mount the brush attachment onto the toothbrush
by inserting it into the bayonet catch and turning
it clockwise a quarter of a turn (fig. 4).
This will make it impossible for the brush attachment to
become detached due to vibration.
2 Put toothpaste on the brush.
3 Place the brush head in your mouth (fig. 5).
4 Press the on button and start brushing your teeth
(fig. 6).
Brushing Tips
Brushing
1 Place the brush head against the tooth in such a
way that it covers the surface of the tooth as well
as the gum line (fig. 5).
2 Hold the brush head in this position for a few
seconds and then move on to the next tooth
(fig. 7).
The round brush head removes plaque from the teeth
and beneath the gum line. The individually moving
Active Tip cleans between the teeth.
3 Guide the brush head carefully along the teeth
and molars (fig. 8).
◗ Make sure you clean all surfaces of the teeth (inside,
outside and chewing surface) as well as the gum line
properly. A fixed brushing pattern will prevent you
from skipping certain areas.
◗ See also the brushing instructions on our Internet
site: www.philips.com.
Gum Protection
1 The Gum Protection system guarantees that you
will not exert too much pressure on the teeth
and gums (fig. 9).
2 If you exert too much pressure on the
toothbrush, you will feel and hear a click when
the brush head flexes backwards. As soon as you
reduce the pressure, the brush head will return
to its normal position. This will protect your
gums (fig. 10).
This will probably happen a few times when you first
start using the brush. After some time you will have
discovered the optimal brushing pressure and the brush
head will flex backwards less often.
Tip: If plaque is removed properly, the gums will have a
pink colour and will firmly surround the teeth. Healthy
gums do not bleed when you eat or brush your teeth
(see also the section 'Optimal dental hygiene'). If,
nevertheless, your gums bleed slightly the first few times
you use the brush, this bleeding will generally stop after
a few days. If it does not, consult your dentist or dental
hygienist.
Minimum brushing time: 2 minutes
In general, 2 minutes will be enough to clean your teeth
properly. Naturally, you can also brush longer than
2 minutes.
Optimal dental hygiene
For optimal dental hygiene, it is recommended to use
dental floss and toothpicks in addition to the electric
toothbrush.

2 Switch the toothbrush off. Detach the brush
attachment and rinse the inside (fig. 12).
3 Switch the toothbrush on again to rinse
toothpaste residues from the drive shaft (fig. 13).
4 Store the brush attachment on the pin on the
charging unit.
5 Clean the charging unit with a moist cloth (fig.
