Getting started
Attaching the brush head
1Align the brush head so the bristles point in the
same direction as the front of the handle.
2Firmly press the brush head down onto the metal
shaft until it stops.
Note: It is normal to see a slight gap between the
brush head and the handle. This allows the brush
head to vibrate properly.
Charging your SonicPro
1Plug the USB charging cord into a wall adapter that
is connected to a electrical outlet.
2Place the handle on the charger.
- The light of the battery level indicator
illuminates and the handle beeps twice. This
indicates that the toothbrush is charging.
Note: It can take up to 24 hours to fully charge the
battery, but you can use the SonicPro toothbrush
before it is fully charged.
Using your SonicPro
If you are using your SonicPro toothbrush for the first
time, it is normal to feel more vibration than when
using a non-electric toothbrush. It is common for first
time users to apply too much pressure. Only apply
gentle pressure and let the toothbrush do the
brushing for you. Please follow brushing instructions
below for the best experience. To help you transition

10 English

the EasyStart feature turned on. This feature gently
increases the power over the first 14 brushings to help
you adapt to brushing with a Philips Colgate SonicPro
toothbrush.
Brushing instructions
1Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of
toothpaste.
2Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a
slight angle (45 degrees), pressing gently to make
the bristles reach the gumline or slightly beneath
the gumline.
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with
the teeth at all times.
3Press the power on/off button to turn on the
SonicPro.
4Gently keep the bristles placed on the teeth and in
the gumline. Brush your teeth with small back and
forth motion so the bristles reach between the
teeth. Continue this motion throughout your
brushing cycle.
Note: The bristles should slightly flare. It is not
recommended to scrub as you would with a
manual toothbrush.
5To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt
the brush handle semi-upright and make several
vertical overlapping brushing strokes on each
tooth.
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout
the mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections using
the Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’).

can spend additional time brushing the chewing
surfaces of your teeth and areas where staining
occurs. You can also brush your tongue, with the
toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer.

braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used
on braces) and dental restorations (fillings, crowns,
veneers) if they are properly adhered and not
compromised. If a problem occurs, please follow
up with a dental professional.
Note: When the SonicPro toothbrush is used in clinical
studies, the handle should be fully charged and the

technology and begins tracking brush head wear.
2Over time, based on the pressure you apply and
the amount of time used, the handle will track
brush head wear in order to determine the optimal
time to change your brush head. This feature gives
you the guarantee for the best cleaning and care
of your teeth.

Your SonicPro is equipped with an advanced sensor
that measures the pressure you apply while brushing.

a change in vibration and therefore brushing
sensation and sound. Additionally, the brush head
replacement reminder light will flash amber.
