Specifications
Power supply:
see bottom of charging unit
Handle voltage: 1.2 V
Connecting and charging
The toothbrush is electrically safe
and can be used in the bathroom
without hesitation.
•Plug the charging unit into an
electrical outlet. Place the handle
on the charging unit.
•The charge indicator (d) flashes
while the handle is being charged.
•When the handle is fully charged,
the charge indicator lights
permanently. A full charge takes
at least 16 hours and provides an
operation time of approximately
45 minutes.
•For everyday use, the handle can
be stored on the plugged-in
charging unit to maintain the
toothbrush at full power.
Overcharging is impossible.
Battery maintenance
To maintain the maximum capacity
of the rechargeable battery, unplug
the charging unit and discharge the
handle by regular use at least every
6 months.
Using the toothbrush
This product can be used with any
leading brand of toothpaste.
To avoid splashing, guide the brush-
head to your teeth before switching
the appliance on.
Operating the switch
The toothbrush features two speed
options, the lower speed being
optimal for sensitive areas in the
mouth (A).
•Press the switch to operate with
normal speed,
•press a second time to operate
with reduced speed,
•press a third time to switch the
unit off.
Removing plaque
Guide the brushhead slowly from
tooth to tooth. Hold the brushhead
in place for a few seconds before
moving on to the next tooth.
Brush the gums as well as the teeth,
first the outsides, then the insides,
finally the chewing surfaces. Do not
press too hard or scrub, simply let
the brush do all the work.
Professional timer
With a signal you can
hear and feel, the timer
invites you to brush
quadrant by quadrant.
After every 30 seconds,
it signals by a very short stutter that
it is time to move to the next
quadrant. After two minutes – which
is the recommended brushing time –
the timer signals by a longer stutter.
Pressure Sensor
For safety and optimum brushing
results, the toothbrush has a pres-
sure control system:
If too much pressure is applied, the
oscillating movement of the brush-
head will continue, but the pulsation
will stop. In addition to feeling it, you
can also hear the difference.
During the first few days of using the
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 hygienist.
INDICATOR
®
bristles
The INDICATOR
®
bristles help you
monitor and improve your brushing
performance. With proper brushing,
twice a day for two minutes, the blue
colour on the INDICATOR
®
bristles
will disappear half-way down within
3-4 months, signaling it is time to
change the brushhead (B).
Interspace brushhead
(only with D
17
525
X model)

designed for cleaning between teeth
as well as around bridges, crowns
and implants. To use, position

gumline.
Slowly guide the brushhead along
the gumline, pausing between teeth
for optimum results.

Cleaning
•Rinse the brushhead thoroughly
under running water for several
seconds with the handle
switched on (C).

the handle on the charging
unit (D).

charging unit with a damp cloth.
