Charging your Sonicare
\
Sonicare comes with the batteries completely discharged and should be
charged for at least 24 hours during the rst few days of use.
It is recommended that you keep your Sonicare in the charger when not
in use to maintain a full battery charge. It takes at least 24 hours to fully
charge the battery of your Sonicare toothbrush.
1 To charge your Sonicare, place the handle in the charger with the
power button facing forward. Be sure the bottom of the handle sits
back securely in the charger, making complete contact.
When the handle is placed incorrectly in the charger, the charge
,
indicator light may still illuminate, but charging will not take place.
Handles of other Sonicare models do not t in this charger and will
therefore not charge effectively. Do not attempt to force a handle into this
charger as this will cause damage.
Using the appliance
Useful tips
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 rst time. As you
become accustomed to brushing with Sonicare this sensitivity will
diminish.
