Using the appliance
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. 5).
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 the teeth.
Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle.
Note:To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide the mouth
into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’), (specic
types only).
6
Brush each section for 30 seconds for a total brushing time of
2 minutes. Start with section 1 (outside top teeth) and then brush
section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue with section 3 (outside bottom
teeth)andnallybrushsection4(insidebottomteeth)(Fig.6).
Note: 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.
The Sonicare is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads may wear out more quickly when used on braces)
- Dental restorations (llings, crowns, veneers, implants)
Note:When the Sonicare is used in clinical studies, the handle has to be fully
charged and the Easy-start feature must be deactivated.

Battery status (when handle is not on charger)
- A yellow battery level indicator indicates a low charge.
- A green battery level indicator indicates a high charge.
- The battery level indicator turns off when the battery is in between
a low and a high charge.
Note:When you hear 3 beeps and the yellow LED of the battery level indicator
ashes, this means the battery charge is below 10% and the toothbrush should
be recharged.
Note:To keep the battery fully charged at all times, you may keep the
Sonicare on the charger when not in use.
Features
Quadpacer (specic types only)
- The Quadpacer is an interval timer that has a short beep and pause
to remind you to brush the 4 sections of your mouth (Fig. 7).
Smartimer
The Smartimer indicates that your brushing cycle is complete when it
automatically switches off the toothbrush at the end of the brushing cycle.
Dentists recommend brushing at least 2 minutes twice a day.
Note:After brushing for 2.5 seconds, pressing the power on/off button causes
the toothbrush to pause. After a pause of 30 seconds, the Smartimer resets.
Easy-start
The Easy-start feature gently increases power over the rst 14 brushings
to let you get used to brushing with the Sonicare.
This Sonicare model comes with the Easy-start feature activated.
