IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
When using electrical products, especially when
children are present, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
DANGERS
To reduce the risk of electrocution:
1 Do not place or store the charger or sanitizer
where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink, or
where it will sit or drop into water or other liquid.
2 Do not reach for a charger or sanitizer that has
fallen into water. Unplug immediately.
3
Never use a charger with a damaged cord or plug.
WARNINGS
To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, re or
physical injury:
1 Do not use attachments other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
2
Do not plug the charger into an outlet with a
voltage other than specied on the bottom of the
charger. This product is designed to operate within
a range of 100 to 240 volts. Voltage converters
DO NOT warrant voltage compatibility.
3 Do not insert objects into the air openings of the
sanitizer or block these air openings by placing it
on a soft surface or in a position or location where
objects will block these openings (examples of
objects: magazine, tissue paper, hair, and the like).

Using your Sonicare
Brushing instructions

toothpaste.
2 Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth
at a slight angle towards the gumline.
3 Press the power on/off button to turn on the
Sonicare.
ENGLISH8

4 Apply light pressure to maximize Sonicare’s
effectiveness and let the Sonicare toothbrush
do the brushing for you.
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)

mode. To personalize your brushing:
