selected, the Quadpacer beeps at different intervals during the brushing cycle.

through this ramp-up cycle.

charging base or travel case) - Push and hold the on/off button for 2 seconds; 1 beep
indicates the Easy-start feature has been deactivated; 2 beeps indicate the feature has
been reactivated.
