Preparing for use
Changing the colour code ring
Sonicare brush heads come with interchangeable colour code rings to
identify your brush head.
To change the colour code ring:
1
Pull the colour code ring from the bottom of the brush head (Fig. 2 ).
2 Install a new ring by slipping one edge of the new ring over the
bottom of the brush head (Fig. 3).
Attaching the brush head
1
Align the brush head so the bristles face the front of the handle. (Fig. 4)
2 Firmly press the brush head down on the metal shaft until it stops.
Note:There is a small gap between the colour code ring and the handle.
Charging your Sonicare
1 Put the mains plug of the charger or sanitiser in the wall socket.
2 Place the handle on the charger or sanitiser (Fig. 5).
,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.
Note:To keep the battery fully charged at all times, you may keep your
Sonicare on the charger when not in use. Once the Sonicare is fully charged,
the charger draws minimal energy from the wall socket.
Note: It takes at least 24 hours to fully charge the battery.

Using the Sonicare
Brushing instructions
1 Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
2 Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle
towards the gumline (Fig. 6).
3 Press the power on/off button to switch on the Sonicare.
4 Apply light pressure to maximise 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)
(Fig. 7).
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 switched on or off, as you prefer (Fig. 8).
Your Sonicare is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)
- Dental restorations (llings, crowns, veneers)
