Before cleaning your teeth
The brush head of this sonic vibration toothbrush vibrates at a
high speed.
Therefore:
•You only need to lightly press the bristles against your teeth for
brushing.
•When first using this appliance, some may experience a tickling
or tingling sensation caused by the high‑speed vibrations. The
sensation should subside after you use the toothbrush several
more times.
•When in use, the main unit of this toothbrush emits a very weak
electric current (ionic current) in the oral cavity.
•Touching the ion panel with your hand when you hold the main
unit to brush your teeth causes a very weak electric current (ionic
current) to flow between your teeth and the brush head.

•The ion lamp on the mechanism that generates the very weak
electric current (see figure above) turns on or blinks to indicate
whether ionic power is being applied to the teeth.
