Introduction
This unique electric toothbrush removes plaque better than a normal,
manual toothbrush. It also helps to protect your gums.When you exert
too much pressure while brushing, the brush head will automatically ex
back. Because of this clear signal, you will quickly adopt the right brushing
force. Clinical tests have shown that, thanks to this system, brushing with
the Philips Sensiex results in a better and safer brushing technique.

Make sure the appliance is switched off when you start charging it.
(Fig. 3)
You can put the toothbrush in the stand and let it charge
continuously.
However, when you rst start using the appliance, it is recommended that
you use it until the battery is empty.To do so, use the appliance in the
normal way without recharging it between the brushing sessions.
Recharge the appliance when the motor almost stops running. Repeat
this procedure 3 times in a row.
To extend the lifetime of the battery, repeat this procedure every 6
months.
Types HX2585, HX2538 and HX1526 only: when the battery is
being charged, the green pilot light is on. (Fig. 4)
You can put the toothbrush in the stand and let it charge
continuously.
Using the appliance
1 Mount the brush attachment onto the toothbrush by inserting it
into the bayonet catch and turning it clockwise a quarter of a turn.
(Fig. 5)
This will make it impossible for the brush attachment to become
detached due to vibration.
2 Put toothpaste on the brush head.
3 Place the brush head in your mouth. (Fig. 6)
4 Switch the appliance on by pressing the button and start brushing
your teeth. (Fig. 7)
For the best brushing method, minimal brushing time and brushing
functions of the appliance, see the ‘Brushing tips’ section below.
Brushing Tips
Brushing
1 Place the brush head against the tooth in such a way that it covers
the surface of the tooth as well as the gum line. (Fig. 8)

2 Hold the brush head in this position for a few seconds and then
move on to the next tooth. (Fig. 9)
The round brush head removes plaque from the teeth and beneath the
gum line.
The individually moving Active Tip cleans between the teeth.
3 Guide the brush head carefully along the teeth and molars. (Fig. 10)
Make sure you clean all surfaces of the teeth (inside, outside and
chewing surface) as well as the gum line properly. A xed brushing
pattern will prevent you from skipping certain areas.
Gum Protection system
1 The Gum Protection system guarantees that you do not exert too
much pressure on the teeth and gums. (Fig. 11)
2 If you exert too much pressure on the toothbrush, you will feel and
hear the brush head exing backwards. As soon as you reduce the
pressure, the brush head will return to its normal position.This will
protect your gums. (Fig. 12)
This will probably happen a few times when you rst start using the
toothbrush. After some time you will have discovered the optimal
brushing pressure and the brush head will ex backwards less often.
Tip: If plaque is removed properly, the gums will have a pink colour and
will rmly surround the teeth. Healthy gums do not bleed when you eat
or brush your teeth (see also the section ‘Optimal dental hygiene’). If,
nevertheless, your gums bleed slightly the rst few times you use the
brush, this bleeding will generally stop after a few days. If it does not,
consult your dentist or dental hygienist.
Minimum brushing time: 2 minutes
In general, 2 minutes will be enough to clean your teeth properly.
Naturally, you can also brush longer than 2 minutes.
A red pilot light will blink to indicate that 2 minutes have passed
(types HX2585, HX2538 and HX1526 only). (Fig. 13)
