Charge the Sonicare for at least 24 hours during the
rst few days of use.
We advise you to keep the Sonicare in the plugged-
in charger when not in use, to maintain a full battery
charge.
When the battery is empty, it takes at least 24 hours
to charge the Sonicare fully.
1 Place the handle in the charger (with the on/off
button facing towards the front of the charger)
to charge the appliance.
Make sure the bottom of the handle sits back
securely in the charger so that it makes complete
contact.
,The charging light ashes slowly when the
handle is in the charger to indicate that charging
is in progress.
,When the Sonicare is fully charged, the charging
light lights up continuously to indicate that the
Sonicare is ready for use.

Note: When the handle is placed in the charger
incorrectly, the charging light may still go on, but
charging does not take place.
Note: The handles of other Sonicare models do not t
in this charger and therefore will not charge effectively.
Do not attempt to force a handle into this charger, as
this causes damage.

Follow these simple steps to maximise your brushing
experience.
1 Before you switch on the Sonicare, place the
bristles of the brush head on your gumline at a
45-degree angle.
2 Hold the handle with a light grip and switch
on the Sonicare. Gently move the bristles in a
small circular motion so that the longer bristles
reach between your teeth. After a few seconds,
pass the bristles to the next section. Continue
this routine throughout the 2-minute brushing
cycle.
3 To maximise the effectiveness of the Sonicare
toothbrush, use light pressure and let the

º

Sonicare do the brushing for you. Do not
scrub.
4 To make sure you brush evenly throughout
the mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections:
outside upper teeth, inside upper teeth,
outside lower teeth and inside lower teeth.
Begin brushing the rst section (outside upper
teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving
to the next section (inside upper teeth).
Continue brushing the other two sections for
30 seconds each until you have completed the
2-minute brushing cycle.
5 After the 2-minute brushing cycle, you can
briey switch on the Sonicare again to brush
the chewing surfaces of your teeth.
You can press the on/off button to switch the
Sonicare on or off as desired.
Tip: To clean your mouth more completely, you can also
brush your tongue with the toothbrush switched on or
off, as you prefer.

- Stain removal
For even better stain removal, dedicate a few
seconds of extra brushing time to areas where
excess staining occurs.
- Braces
Place the brush head at a 45-degree angle between
the brackets and the gumline. Using light pressure,
gently move the bristles in a small circular motion
so the longer bristles reach between your teeth for
2 seconds. Then gently roll the brush handle so the
bristles clean the bracket and the rest of the tooth.
Subsequently pass the bristles to the next tooth.
Continue this procedure until you have brushed all

your teeth. Please note that brush heads wear out
sooner when used on braces.
- Dental restorations
Use the Sonicare on dental restorations (such as
implants, caps, crowns, bridges and llings) as you
do on your natural tooth surfaces. Work the bristles
round all the areas of the restoration for thorough
cleaning.
- Periodontal pockets
Your dentist or dental hygienist may have indicated
that you have periodontal pockets, deep pockets
where plaque bacteria collect. If this is the case,
spend extra time brushing these areas after you have
completed the 2-minute brushing cycle to improve
your gum health.

- This Sonicare model comes with the Easy-start
feature activated, which helps you get used to
brushing with the Sonicare.
- The brushing power gently increases to full power
over the rst 12 brushings.
- The Easy-start feature is active if you hear 2
beeps immediately after you switch on the
Sonicare. Once the Sonicare has reached optimal
brushing power (after the 12th brushing), you no
longer hear the 2 beeps at the beginning of each
brushing cycle.
Note: Each of the rst 12 brushings must be at least
1 minute long to move properly through the Easy-start
ramp-up cycle.
To deactivate or activate the Easy-start feature:
1 Attach the brush head to the handle.

2 Place the handle in the plugged-in charger.
3 To deactivate the Easy-start feature, press and

4 To activate the Easy-start feature, press and
hold the on/off button for 5 seconds. You hear
2 beeps to indicate that the Easy-start feature
has been activated.
Use of the Easy-start feature beyond the initial
ramp-up period is not recommended and reduces
the effectiveness of the Sonicare toothbrush in
removing plaque.
Make sure the Easy-start feature is deactivated and
the handle fully charged when the Sonicare is used
in clinical trials.

Problem Solution
The Sonicare
toothbrush does
not work.
You may need to recharge the Sonicare. Charge
the Sonicare for at least 24 hours.
Make sure the socket is live when you recharge
the appliance. The electricity supply to sockets in
mirror cabinets over washbasins or shaver sockets
in bathrooms may be cut off when the light is

Problem Solution
You may need to reattach or replace the brush
head.
I feel a tickling
sensation when I
use the Sonicare.
You may experience a slight tickling/tingling
sensation when you use the Sonicare for the rst
time. As you become accustomed to brushing
with the Sonicare, this sensation diminishes.
The brush head
rattles when I use
the Sonicare.
The Sonicare should produce a gentle hum during
operation. Tighten the brush head nut to eliminate
excessive rattling. If the rattling does not stop, you
may need to replace the brush head.
Make sure you remove the travel cap before you
switch on the appliance.
The brush head
chatters against
my teeth.
You can avoid this by keeping the brush head
properly oriented, with the brush head placed on
the gumline at an angle of 45 degrees.
Brushing seems
less powerful. You may need to recharge the Sonicare.
The Easy-start feature may be active and needs to
be deactivated (see chapter ‘Features’).
You may need to clean the brush head.
You may need to replace the brush head.
The Sonicare gives
off an unpleasant
smell.
You may need to clean the appliance. Clean the
handle, brush head and charger thoroughly (see
chapter ‘Cleaning’).
You may need to replace the brush head.
