2 minutes) (picture 1).
• When the rechargeable battery is low, the red low charge indicator
light (f) starts flashing after turning off the toothbrush.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on the
plugged-in charging unit to maintain it at full power. Overcharging
is impossible. However, for environmental reasons, Oral-B recom-
mends to unplug the charging unit until the next recharge is
required.
• To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery,
unplug the charging unit and fully discharge the handle with
regular use at least every 6 months.
Please note: If the charge indicator light is not flashing immediately,
continue charging. It will appear in 10–15 minutes.
Using your toothbrush
Brushing technique
This brush is designed to work with all common brushing
techniques. You can continue to use your current brushing
technique, e.g. you can brush just like you would do with a manual
toothbrush. You also may consult your dentist or dental hygienist
about the right technique for you.
We recommend the following: Wet brush head (a) and apply
toothpaste (before switching the appliance on); you can use any
kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to
your teeth before switching the appliance on. You start and stop
brushing by pressing the on/off button (c) of the handle (picture 2).
Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle
towards the gumline.
Apply light pressure and start brushing in back and forth motions.
Brush first the outsides, then the insides. Finally, brush the chewing
surfaces with the same back and forth motion throughout the
mouth (picture 5). Brush for 2 minutes. Please ensure that you
brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally.
In the first days of using any electric toothbrush, your gums may
bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days.
Should it persist after 2 weeks, please consult your dentist or dental
hygienist.
Brushing modes (depending on model)
«Daily Clean» Exceptional mouth cleaning.
«Sensitive» Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive areas.
«Whitening» Exceptional whitening for occasional or everyday
use.
How to switch between modes:
• When pressing the on/off button your toothbrush automatically
starts in the «Daily Clean» mode.
• To switch to the «Sensitive» and «Whitening» mode, successively
press the on/off button.
• To turn off your toothbrush from the «Whitening» mode, push the
on/off button once more.
• If you wish to turn off your toothbrush from the «Daily Clean» or
«Sensitive» mode, push and hold down the on/off button until the
motor stops.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to
brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally (picture 4). A long
stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally recom-
mended 2-minute brushing time. The elapsed brushing time is
memorised even when the handle is briefly switched off during
brushing. When pausing longer than 30 seconds the timer resets.
Pressure Sensor
Protecting your teeth and gums from hard brushing, your tooth-
brush has a pressure control feature installed. If too much pressure
is applied, the red pressure sensor light (b) will light up reminding
you to reduce pressure (picture 3). In addition you will also hear a
different sound while brushing. Periodically check the operation of
the pressure sensor by pressing lightly on the brush head during
