FAQ
Question Answer
While using
Why does the toothbrush
pause once, or the intensity
of vibration reduce, at
30‑second intervals?
The toothbrush will
notify you of the
elapsed brushing time
every 30 seconds.
(See page 12 about
“30‑second brushing
function.”)
(See page 16 about
“STAINOFF mode.”)
Will the battery deteriorate
if not used for an
extended period of time?
The battery will
deteriorate if not
used for over
6 months, so make
sure to perform a full
charge at least once
every 6 months.
Can I charge the
appliance after every use?
The battery used is a
lithium‑ion, so
charging after every
use will have no
effect on battery life.
