remind you to brush the 4 sections of your mouth. Depending on the
brushing mode you have selected, the Quadpacer beeps at different
intervals during the brushing cycle. The Quadpacer works in all 5
modes (Fig. 14).

The Smartimer indicates that your brushing cycle is complete by
automatically turning off the toothbrush at the end of the brushing
cycle.
Dental professionals recommend brushing no less than 2 minutes
twice a day.

handle from the charger, turn on the Philips Sonicare and let it run
until it stops. Repeat this step until you can no longer turn on the
Philips Sonicare.

a towel or cloth (Fig. 18).
3Hold the top of the handle with one hand and strike the handle
housing 0.5 inch above the bottom end. Strike firmly with a
hammer on all 4 sides to eject the end cap (Fig. 19).
Note: You may have to hit on the end several times to break the
internal snap connections.
4Remove the end cap from the toothbrush handle. If the end cap
does not release easily from the housing, repeat step 3 until the
end cap is released (Fig. 20).
5Holding the handle upside down, press the shaft down on a hard
surface. If the internal components do not easily release from the
housing, repeat step 3 until the internal components are released
(Fig. 21).

black frame to break the metal tab connecting the battery to the
green printed circuit board. This will release the bottom end of the
battery from the frame (Fig. 24).

break the second metal battery tab (Fig. 25).
Caution: Be aware of the sharp edges of the battery tabs so as
to avoid injury to your fingers.
