PRODUCT INFORMATION
- Smartimer
Automatically sets the brushing time to 2 minutes.
After these 2 minutes the product switches off automatically.
If you wish to pause, or stop brushing during the 2- minute
cycle, press the on/off button. When you press the on/off button
again, the Smartimer will pick up where you left off.
- Easy-start
The brushing power will gently increase to full power over the
first 12 brushings.
The Easy-start feature is active if you hear 2 beeps immediately
after turning on your toothbrush.
Once you reach the optimal brushing power, after the 1st
brushing, you will no longer hear the double beep at the
beginning of the brushing routine.
Easy-start can also be switched off. To deactivate and to
reactivate the Easy-start feature, see directions for use.
- Extra-soft bristles
Extra-soft, rounded bristles ensure deep, yet gentle cleaning.
- Sensitive Teeth and Gums
In addition to e-series Standard there is e-series Sensitive for
people with sensitive teeth and gums.
- Quadpacer (On Selected Models)
The Quadpacer feature ensures that you brush all sections of
your mouth evenly and thoroughly. At 30-second intervals (at
30, 60 and 90 seconds in case of a 2-minute brushing cycle), you
will hear a short beep and notice a brief pause in brushing
action. This is the signal to move to the next section of your
mouth.
- Massage Mode (On Selected Models)
Mode for gentle gum stimulation.

- Charging Your Sonicare
Sonicare comes with the batteries completely discharged and
should be charged for at least 24 hours during the first few days
of use. It is recommended that you keep your Sonicare in the
charger when not in use to maintain a full battery charge. It
takes at least 24 hours to fully charge the battery of your
Sonicare toothbrush.
Battery charge indicator
If the battery charge of your toothbrush is too low, you will
hear 5 beeps after you have brushed your teeth for 2 minutes
and the charge indicator LED will flash rapidly for 30 seconds.
When the handle is placed in the charger, the handle LED will
blink slowly. When the Sonicare is fully charged, the charge
indicator will stay on.
