A damaged or non-functioning unit must no longer be used.
• This product is not intended for use by children under age three.
• This appliance is not intended for use by children or persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety. In general, we
recommend that you keep the appliance out of reach of children.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
• If the product is dropped, the brush head should be replaced
before the next use even if no damage is visible.
• Do not place or store the charger where it can fall or be pulled into
a tub or sink.
• Do not place the charger in water or other liquid.
• Do not reach for a charger that has fallen into water. Unplug
immediately.

Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and
designed for use in the bathroom.
• Plug the basic charger (f) into an electrical outlet and place the
toothbrush handle (c) on the charging unit.
• The green charge indicator light (d) flashes while the handle is
being charged. Once it is fully charged, the green charge indicator
light shines continuously for 5 seconds; then it turns off. A full
charge takes at least 17 hours and enables approximately one
week of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).
• When the rechargeable battery is low, the red low charge indicator
light (e) starts flashing after turning off the toothbrush.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on the
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.
Specifications
For voltage specifications please refer to the bottom of the charging
unit.
Using your toothbrush
Wet brush head (a) and apply toothpaste; you can use any kind of
toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth
before switching on the appliance (b). Slowly guide the brush head
from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth surface.
Brush both gums and teeth; first the outsides, then the insides
and finally the chewing surfaces (picture 5, page 2). Brush at least
2 minutes to thoroughly remove plaque. Do not press too hard or
scrub. Turn off the handle by pressing the on/off switch.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to brush
all four quadrants of your mouth equally (see picture 4, page 2).
A long stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally
recommended 2-minute brushing time. The elapsed brushing time is
memorised when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing.
When pausing longer than 30 seconds the timer resets.
Pressure Sensor
To promote optimal brushing your toothbrush has a pressure
control feature installed. If too much pressure is applied, the
oscillating movement of the brush head will continue but the
pulsation will stop. In addition you will also hear a different sound
while brushing.
Individual brush heads and accessories
Oral-B Professional Care offers you a variety of brush heads and
accessories which are available in stores that sell Oral-B products.
Oral-B Precision Clean brush head
cups each tooth with a curved bristle trim and
reaches deep between teeth at the same time.
Dentists recommend replacing any toothbrush every 3 months.
Therefore the brush heads feature light blue INDICATOR®bristles to
help you monitor brush head replacement need (picture 1a, page 2).
With thorough brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the blue color
will fade halfway down approximately in a 3-month period, signaling
it is time to change your brush head (picture 1b, page 2). If the
bristles splay before the color recedes, you are exerting too much
pressure on teeth and gums (picture 1c, page 2).
In the first few 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.
Cleaning recommendations
After brushing, rinse your brush head carefully under running water
for some seconds with the handle switched on. Switch off the
handle and remove the brush head. Clean both parts separately
under running water; then wipe them dry before reassembling the
toothbrush. Never place the charger in dishwasher or water; it
should be cleaned with a damp cloth only (see picture 6, page 2).
