new ring over the bottom of the brush head.
Attaching the brush head

front of the handle.
2 Firmly press the brush head down on the metal
shaft until it stops.
Note:There is a small gap between the color code ring
and the handle.

electrical outlet.

,The ashing light of the battery gauge indicates
that the toothbrush is charging.
- 1 solid green LED indicates that the toothbrush is
34-66% charged.
- 2 solid green LEDs indicate that the toothbrush is
67-94% charged.
- 3 solid green LEDs indicate that the toothbrush is
fully charged.
Note: If the battery charge of your Sonicare is low, you
hear 3 beeps and 1 LED of the recharge gauge ashes
yellow for 30 seconds after completing the brushing cycle.

at a slight angle towards the gumline.
3 Press the power on/off button to switch on
the Sonicare.
ENGLISH8

4 Apply light pressure to maximize Sonicare’s
effectiveness and let the Sonicare toothbrush
do the brushing for you. Do not scrub.
5 Gently move the brush head slowly across
the teeth in a small back and forth motion
so the longer bristles reach between your
teeth. Continue this motion throughout
your brushing cycle.
Note:To make sure you brush evenly throughout the
mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections using the
Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’).
6 Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top teeth)
and brush for 30 seconds before moving to
section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue brushing
in section 3 (outside bottom teeth) and brush
for 30 seconds before moving to section 4
(inside bottom teeth).
7 After you have completed the brushing
cycle, you can spend additional time brushing
the chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas
where staining occurs.You may also brush your
tongue, with the toothbrush turned on or off,
as you prefer.
Your Sonicare is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used
on braces)
- Dental restorations (llings, crowns, veneers)
