Charging your Philips Sonicare

Using the appliance

Brushing instructions

1Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.

3Press the power on/off button to switch on the Philips Sonicare.

English 9

4Gently keep the bristles placed on the teeth and in the gumline. Brush your teeth with small back and forth motion so the bristles reach between the teeth. Continue this motion throughout your brushing cycle.

Note: The bristles should slightly flare. Do not scrub.

5To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush handle semi-upright and make several vertical overlapping brushing strokes on each tooth (Fig. 7).

Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’).

6Begin brushing in section 1 (outside upper teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before you move to section 2 (inside upper teeth). Continue brushing in section 3 (outside lower teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before you move to section 4 (inside lower teeth (Fig. 8)).

7After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can spend additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas where staining occurs. You can also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer (Fig. 9).

Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to use on:

-Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)

-Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)

Note: When the Philips Sonicare toothbrush is used in clinical studies, the handle should be fully charged and the Easy-start feature deactivated.

Battery status (when handle is not on charger)

-A yellow battery level indicator indicates a low charge.

-A green battery level indicator indicates a high charge.

-The battery level indicator turns off when the battery is in between a low and a high charge.

10 English

Note:When you hear 3 beeps and the yellow LED of the battery level indicator flashes, this means the battery charge is below 10% and the toothbrush should be recharged.

Note:To keep the battery fully charged at all times, you may keep the Sonicare on the charger when not in use.

Features

Quadpacer

-The Quadpacer is an interval timer that has a short beep and pause to remind you to brush the 4 sections of your mouth evenly and thoroughly. (Fig. 8)

Smartimer

The Smartimer indicates that your brushing cycle is complete by automatically turning off the toothbrush at the end of the brushing cycle.

Dental professionals recommend brushing no less than 2 minutes twice a day.

Note: If you press the power on/off button after you started the brushing cycle, the toothbrush will pause. After a pause of 30 seconds, the Smartimer resets.

Easy-start

The Easy-start feature gently increases power over the first 14 brushings to help you get used to brushing with the Philips Sonicare toothbrush. This Philips Sonicare toothbrush comes with the Easystart feature activated.

Activating or deactivating the Easy-start feature:

Place the handle in the plugged-in charger.

-To activate Easy-start:

Press and hold the power on/off button for 2 seconds. You hear 2 beeps and the battery level indicator lights up green to indicate that the Easy-start feature has been activated.

English 11

-To deactivate Easy-start:

Press and hold the power on/off button for 2 seconds. You hear 1 beep and the battery level indicator lights up yellow to indicate that the Easy-start feature has been deactivated.

Note: Each of the first 14 brushings must last at least 1 minute to move through the Easy-start ramp-up cycle properly.

Note: Use of the Easy-start feature beyond the initial ramp-up period is not recommended and reduces the effectiveness of the Philips Sonicare toothbrush in removing plaque.
