Preparing for use

Attaching the brush head

1 Align the bar on the brush head with the notch on the handle

and slide the brush head onto the handle.

2 Screw the brush head nut clockwise until it's firmly tightened. If

the brush head rattles when in use, tighten the nut further.

3 Remove the travel cap from your brush head.

Charging

◗ Sonicare comes partially charged and ready for use, but we highly

advise that you charge it for a total of 21 hours during the first few days of use.

ENGLISH6

1 To charge your Sonicare, place the handle in the charger base

with the Sonicare logo facing towards you to ensure the handle properly fits (slots) in the charger. Once the handle is placed in the charger base, the power button light should illuminate or blink to indicate charging is taking place.

Do not attempt to force the handle into the charger; this will cause damage.

Older model Sonicare handles without the slotting feature will not fit in this new charger base and do not charge effectively. Do not attempt to force a handle without the slotting feature into this charger base, as this will cause damage.

◗ Sonicare handles with the slotting feature can be charged

effectively in most older Sonicare charger bases. (Note; these handles are not compatible with charger model TX-I).

It is recommended that you keep your Sonicare in the charger base when not in use to maintain a full battery charge. After the initial charging period, it takes 15 hours charging time to reach full charge level.There is no need to periodically discharge handle.

Using the appliance

Useful tips

◗ Gel toothpastes are recommended for optimal product

performance.

◗ Place the brush head in your mouth before turning on your

Sonicare and keep your mouth closed during brushing,otherwise toothpaste may splatter.

◗ You may experience a slight tickling or tingling sensation when

using an electronic toothbrush such as Sonicare for the first time. As you become accustomed to brushing with Sonicare this sensitivity will diminish.

◗ A fully charged Sonicare will provide approximately 2 weeks of

typical use (2 minutes of brushing twice a day), making it easy to take your Sonicare along without the charger.

Remember that voltage converters and plug adapter s DO NOT guarantee voltage compatibility. Always check for voltage compatibility.

ENGLISH 7

Tips for special needs

Stain removal

In areas where excess staining occurs, spend extra brushing time to assist with stain removal.

Braces

◗ The brush should be placed at an angle between your brackets

and gumline. Using light pressure, gently move the bristles in a small circular motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth for 2 seconds.Then gently turn (roll) the brush handle so the bristles clean the bracket and the rest of the tooth before you glide the bristles to the next tooth. Continue this until you have brushed all of your teeth.

Dental restorations (dental work)

Use Sonicare on dental restorations (such as implants, caps, crowns, bridges and fillings) as you would on your natural tooth surfaces to reduce plaque build-up and improve gum health.Work the bristles around all the areas of the restoration for thorough cleaning.

Periodontal pockets

Your dental professional may have indicated that you have periodontal pockets, deep pockets where plaque bacteria collect. If this is the case, after brushing for a full 2 minutes, spend extra time gently brushing these areas to improve your gum health.

Brushing technique

Follow these simple steps to maximize your brushing experience.

1 Before turning the Sonicare on, place the bristles of the brush

head along the gumline with the longer bristles placed between your teeth.

2 Position the bristles of the brush head towards the gumline and

close your mouth.

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

4 Gently move the vibrating brush head in a slightly circular

motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth.After 2 seconds, glide the bristles to the next section and pause while you gently circulate the bristles again. Continue this routine throughout your 2-minute brushing cycle to effectively remove plaque in those hard-to-reach places.

ENGLISH8

5 To maximize Sonicare's effectiveness use light pressure and let

the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do not scrub.

6 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 for 30 seconds in each section progressing through all 4 sections until you've brushed for 2 minutes.

7 After the 2-minute brushing cycle is complete, additional time

should be spent brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth.

Press the power button to turn the brush on and off as needed.. To clean your mouth more completely, you may also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer.

Remember to floss daily.

Features

Easy-start\ brushing power ramp-up

◗ All Sonicare models come with the Easy-start feature activated

(on), which helps you get used to brushing with Sonicare.

◗ Brushing power will gently increase to full power over the first

12 brushings.

◗ The Easy-start feature is active if you hear 2 beeps immediately

after turning on your Sonicare. Once you reach optimal brushing power (after the 12th brushing), you will no longer hear the double beep at the beginning of your brushing routine.

◗ Note: each of the first 12 brushings must be at least 1 minute in

length to properly move through the Easy-start ramp-up cycle.

To turn off or reactivate the Easy-start feature:

1 Attach your brush head to the handle.

2 Place the handle in a plugged-in charger base.

3 Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.You will hear

1 beep if the Easy-start feature is off. If you hear 2 beeps, Easystart is active (on).

Using the Easy-start feature beyond the initial ramp-up period is not recommended and reduces Sonicare's effectiveness in removing plaque.

ENGLISH 9

The Easy-start feature should be deactivated when Sonicare is used in clinical trials.

◗ The Smartimer will automatically reset to the beginning of a

2-minute cycle if:

-brushing is paused for 30 seconds or longer ;

- the handle is returned to the charger base.

Quadpacer\ 30-second interval timer (available on select models).

◗ Quadpacer makes sure that you brush all sections of your mouth

evenly and thoroughly.At 30, 60 and 90 seconds, you will hear a short beep and a pause in brushing action.This is your signal to move to the next section of your mouth.

Recharge indicator battery charge status (available on select models).

◗ If your Sonicare has a low charge, you will hear 5 beeps after you

have brushed your teeth for 2 minutes and the power button light will flash rapidly.

When you hear the low charge indication, you have 3 or fewer 2-minute brushings left.

1 Place the handle in the charger base (with the Sonicare logo

facing towards you) to begin the recharging process.

◗ The power button light flashes slowly when the handle is in the

charger base to signal charging is in progress.

◗ When the Sonicare is fully charged, the power button light is

constantly on (not flashing), signalling that your Sonicare is ready for use.

When not in use, keep your Sonicare in the charger base to maintain a full battery charge.
