Using your Philips Sonicare

Brushing instructions

1 Press the brush head onto the handle in such a way that the

bristles will face the front of the handle. (Fig. 3)

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

stops.
Note: It is normal to see a slight gap between the brush head and

the handle.

3 Wet the bristles. (Fig. 4)
4 Apply a small amount of toothpaste on the bristles. (Fig. 5)
5 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) A change in vibration (and a
slight change in sound) alerts you when you apply too much
pressure while brushing.

Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the teeth at all
times.

6 Press the power on/off button to turn on the Philips Sonicare. (Fig.

7)

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

8 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. 9)

9 To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide the

mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature. (Fig. 10) The
quadpacer feature beeps after 30 seconds.

10 Brush for the full 2 minutes following the Quadpacer. (Fig. 11) After

2 minutes, the toothbrush will automatically shut off.

In white mode, after 2 minutes the handle will continue to brush
for 30 seconds so that you can brighten and polish your front
teeth.

In gum care mode, after 2 minutes the handle will continue to
brush for an additional minute so you can gently stimulate and
massage your gums.

- After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can spend
additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and
areas where staining occurs. (Fig. 12)

Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to use on:

it must be used in the Clean mode (for plaque and gum health claims)
or in White mode (for whitening claims) at high intensity with

EasyStart

This Philips Sonicare model comes with the EasyStart feature
activated. The EasyStart feature gently increases the power over the
first 14 brushings to help you get used to the brushing with the Philips
Sonicare. The EasyStart feature works in all modes.

To deactivate EasyStart see 'Activating or deactivating features'.

Brush head replacement reminder

Your Philips Sonicare is equipped with BrushSync technology that
tracks the wear of your brush head. (Fig. 13)

1 When attaching a new smart brush head for the first time the

brush head replacement reminder light blinks green three times.
This confirms you have a Philips brush head with BrushSync
technology.

2 Over time, based on the pressure you apply and the amount of

time used, the handle will track brush head wear in order to
determine the optimal time to change your brush head. This
feature gives you the guarantee for the best cleaning and care of
your teeth.

3 When the brush head replacement reminder light lights up amber,

you should replace your brush head.

To deactivate the brush head replacement reminder see 'Activating or
deactivating features'.

Pressure sensor

Your Philips Sonicare is equipped with an advanced sensor that
measures the pressure you apply while brushing. If you apply too
much pressure, the toothbrush will provide immediate feedback to
indicate that you need to reduce the pressure. This feedback is given
by a change in vibration and therefore brushing sensation.

To deactivate the pressure sensor see 'Activating or deactivating
features'.

Quadpacer

The Quadpacer is an interval timer that has a short beep and pause
to remind you to brush the different sections of your mouth.
