Preparing for use

Attaching the brush head

1 Align the brush head so the bristles point in the same direction as

the front of the handle (Fig. 2).

2 Firmly press the brush head down onto the metal shaft until it

stops.

Note: Philips Sonicare brush heads are imprinted with icons to easily
identify your brush head (Fig. 3).

Charging your Philips Sonicare

1 Plug the charger into an electrical outlet.
2 Place the handle on the charger (Fig. 4).

- The battery level indicator flashes to indicate that the toothbrush
is charging. When the light stops flashing and turns solid green the
toothbrush is fully charged. (Fig. 5)

Note: It can take up to 48 hours to fully charge the battery, but the
Philips Sonicare may be used before it is fully charged.

Using the appliance

Brushing instructions

1 Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
2 Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle (45

degrees), pressing firmly to make the bristles reach the gumline or
slightly beneath the gumline. (Fig. 6)

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

English

4 Gently 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.

5 To 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’).

6 Begin 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)).

7 After 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.

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

- 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.

Cleaning

You should clean your Philips Sonicare toothbrush regularly to
remove toothpaste and other residue. Failure to clean your Philips
Sonicare toothbrush may result in an unhygienic product and
damage to it may occur.

Warning: Do not clean brush heads, the handle or the charger in the
dishwasher.

Toothbrush handle

1 Remove the brush head and rinse the metal shaft area with warm

water. Make sure you remove any residual toothpaste (Fig. 11).

Caution: Do not push on the rubber seal on the metal shaft with
sharp objects, as this may cause damage.

2 Wipe the entire surface of the handle with a damp cloth.

Brush head

1 Rinse the brush head and bristles after each use (Fig. 12).
2 Remove the brush head from the handle and rinse the brush head

connection with warm water at least once a week.
