Sonicare\has been carefully engineered for both effectiveness and
safety. However, basic safety precautions should always be followed
when using any electrical product, especially when children are present.
Danger
To reduce the risk of electrocution:
1) Do not place or store the charger where it can fall or be pulled into
a bathtub or washbasin.
2) Do not place or drop the charger into water or other liquid.
3) Do not reach for a charger that has fallen into water. Unplug
immediately.
4) Do not use while bathing.
5) Do not plug the charger into a socket that supplies a voltage for
which the charger is unsuitable. It has been designed for use with a
specific electrical voltage.
6) Refer to the bottom of the charger for voltage specification.Voltage
converters or plug adapters DO NOT guarantee voltage
compatibility. Never force the plug into a socket.
Warning
To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, fire or injury:
1) Close supervision is necessary when this product is used by or on
children or the disabled.
2) Use this product only for its intended purpose as described in this
booklet. Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer. See voltage information above.
ENGLISH4

3) Never operate the charger if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is
not working properly, if it has been dropped or if it has been
dropped into water. For further instructions, contact your local
Philips Customer Care Centre.
4) Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Medical warnings
1) Avoid using a brush head with crushed or bent bristles. Damaged
bristles may break off while brushing. In order to prevent this,
replace the brush head with a new one every 6 months or sooner if
signs of wear appear.
2) Similar to starting with any new manual or electric oral hygiene
product, consult your dental professional before using this appliance
if you have had oral or gum surgery in the previous 2 months.
3) Contact your dental professional if excessive bleeding occurs after
using this product or if bleeding continues to occur after 1 week of
use.
4) If you have any questions concerning usage with a pacemaker or
other implanted device, consult your physician or the implanted
device manufacturer prior to use. Sonicare has been tested and is
compliant with safety standards for electromagnetic devices.
5)The Sonicare toothbrush is a personal care appliance and is not
intended for use on multiple patients in a dental office or institution.
6)This product is designed for cleaning teeth, gums and tongue only.
Do not use it for any other purpose.
Preparing for use
To attach the Sonicare brush head:
C1Align the front of the brush head with the front of the
toothbrush handle. Match the bars on the brush head with the
notches inside the top of the handle and slide the brush head
onto the handle.
C2Turn the brush head nut clockwise until it is firmly tightened.
If the brush head rattles during use, tighten the nut further.
ENGLISH 5

Charging the Sonicare\
Sonicare comes with the batteries completely discharged and should
be charged for at least 24 hours during the first few days of use.
C1To charge your Sonicare, place the handle in the charger with
the Sonicare logo facing forward. Make sure the bottom of the
handle sits back securely in the charger, making complete
contact.
C◗When the handle is placed incorrectly in the charger, the green
charge indicator LED will still light up, but charging will not take
place.
Handles of other Sonicare models do not fit in this charger and will
therefore not charge effectively. Do not attempt to force a handle into
this charger as this will cause damage.
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 Sonicare's battery.
Using the appliance
Useful tips
◗You can use your favourite toothpaste with your Sonicare.
◗The brush head comes with a convenient travel cap. Remove the
travel cap from the brush head before switching on your Sonicare.
◗Place the brush head in your mouth before switching on your
Sonicare, and be sure to switch it off before removing it from
your mouth, otherwise toothpaste may splatter.
◗Rinse the brush head and bristles after each use.
◗Clean the brush head weekly, including under the nut.
◗A fully charged Sonicare will provide approximately 2 weeks of
typical use (2 minutes of brushing twice a day), making it easy to
travel without the charger.
Remember: voltage converters and plug adapters DO NOT guarantee
voltage compatibility. Always check for voltage compatibility.
Tips for specific oral care needs
◗Stain removal
In areas where staining occurs, a few seconds of additional brushing
time may be spent to assist with stain removal.
C◗Braces
The brush should be placed at a 45-degree angle between your
brackets and gumline.While applying light pressure, gently move the
bristles in a small circular motion so that the long bristles reach
ENGLISH6

between your teeth for 2 seconds.Then gently turn (roll) the brush
handle so the bristles clean the bracket and the rest of the tooth
before you move the bristles to the next tooth. Continue this until you
have brushed all of your teeth.
◗Dental restorations
Use the Sonicare on dental restorations (e.g. implants, caps, crowns,
bridges and fillings) as you would on your normal tooth surfaces to
reduce plaque build-up and improve gum health.Work the bristles
around all areas of the restoration for thorough cleaning.
◗Periodontal pockets
Your dental professional may have indicated that you have periodontal
pockets, deep pockets where plaque bacteria collect. If this is the case,
after brushing for a full 2 minutes, spend extra time gently brushing
these areas to improve your gum health.You may want to take
advantage of the Programmable Quadpacer\timer feature
(see section 'Programmable Quadpacer timer').
Proper brushing technique
Follow these simple steps to maximise your brushing experience:
C1Before switching the Sonicare on, place the bristles of the
brush head on your gumline at a 45-degree angle.
2Hold the handle with a light grip, switch the Sonicare on, and
glide the brush across your teeth.
3To maximise Sonicare's effectiveness apply only light pressure
and let the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you.
Do not scrub.
4The angled brush head and slender neck help you reach the
back teeth and the tooth surfaces on the inside of the mouth.
Be sure to adjust your brushing to use the angle to your
advantage and keep as many bristles in contact with the teeth
as possible.
C5To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide
your mouth into 4 sections: outside of upper teeth, inside of
upper teeth, outside of lower teeth and inside of lower teeth.
Begin brushing in section 1 (outside of upper teeth) and brush
for 30 seconds before moving to section 2 (inside of upper
teeth). Continue brushing the other two sections for 30
seconds until you have completed the 2-minute brushing cycle.
If activated, the Programmable Quadpacer\timer will beep
every 30 seconds to signal you to move to the next quadrant.

6After having completed the 2-minute brushing cycle, the
Sonicare will switch off automatically. If you want, you can
switch the toothbrush back on for another brushing cycle and
spend additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your
teeth.
7You may also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush switched
on or off, as you prefer.
8You may experience a slight tickling or tingling sensation after
using an electronic toothbrush such as the Sonicare for the
first time.As you become accustomed to brushing with the
Sonicare this sensation will diminish.
Special features
Features that simplify brushing:
Easy-start\brushing power ramp-up
◗All Sonicare models come with the Easy-start feature activated,
which helps you get used to brushing with the Sonicare.
◗The brushing power will gently increase to full power over the
first 14 brushings.
◗The Easy-start feature is active if you hear 2 beeps immediately
after switching on your Sonicare. Once the appliance has reached
optimal brushing power (after the 14th brushing), you will no
longer hear the double beep at the beginning of the brushing
cycle.
BNote: Each of the first 14 brushings must be at least 1 minute in length
to properly advance through the Easy-start ramp-up cycle.
To deativate or reactivate the Easy-start feature:
1Attach the brush head to the handle.
2Place the handle in the plugged-in charger.
3To deactivate Easy-start:
Press and hold the on/off button for 2 seconds.You will hear 1 beep to
indicate that the Easy-start feature has been deactivated.
4To reactivate Easy-start:
Press and hold the on/off button until you hear 2 beeps.This indicates
that the Easy-start feature is active again.
ENGLISH8

Using the Easy-start feature beyond the initial ramp-up period is not
recommended and reduces the effectiveness of the Sonicare in
removing plaque.
The Easy-start feature should be deactivated when the Sonicare is used
in clinical trials.
Smartimer\2-minute timer
◗All Sonicare models come with the Smartimer feature, which
automatically sets the brushing time to the 2 minutes
recommended by dental professionals.After these 2 minutes, your
Sonicare will automatically switch off. If you wish to brush for a
longer period, simply press the on/off button and another 2-minute
cycle will start.
◗If you wish to pause or stop brushing during your 2-minute cycle,
press the on/off button. If you press the on/off button again, the
Smartimer will resume where you left off.
BThe Smartimer will automatically reset to the beginning of a 2-minute
cycle if:
- brushing is paused for 30 seconds or longer;
- the handle is returned to the charger.
Quadpacer\30-second interval timer
C◗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 your signal to move to the next section of your mouth.
Programmable Quadpacer timer (specific models only)
The Programmable Quadpacer timer allows you to customise the
Quadpacer performance in 1 of 3 ways:
◗You may opt to keep the factory default setting of a 2-minute
brushing time with Programmable Quadpacer beeps activated.
◗You may choose to extend your brushing time to 2 1/2 minutes
by adding an additional 30-second interval.
◗You may choose a 2-minute brushing time, but with the
Quadpacer beeps deactivated.
To change the Programmable Quadpacer settings:
C1Place the handle in the charger that is plugged into a live
socket.

4To program the desired setting, release the button when the
LED corresponding to your choice lights up.
BNote: Selecting 2 1/2 minutes brushing time reduces the number of
brushings available from a charged battery.
Dual Speed Control (specific models only)

Normal speed setting.To change the speed setting:
C1From Normal to Reduced speed: press the Dual Speed Control
button once during brushing.
2From Reduced to Normal speed: press the Dual Speed Control
button a second time during brushing.
A distinctive two-tone beep indicates that the speed setting has been
changed.
It is recommended that you brush at the Normal speed setting to
maintain optimal results.
