3CHARGINGYOUR SONICARE

8
Brush - Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small back and
forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth. Do not scrub like a
manual toothbrush. Apply light pressure to maximize Sonicare’s effectiveness and
let the Sonicare do the brushing for you.
The Quadpacer is an interval timer that has a short beep and pause to remind you
to brush the 4 sections of your mouth. Depending on the brushing mode you have
selected, the Quadpacer beeps at different intervals during the brushing cycle.
Clean - The ultimate in plaque removal (Standard mode).
White - 2 minutes of whitening mode to remove surface stains and 30 seconds
to brighten and polish your front teeth.
Polish - Quick 1-minute mode to brighten and polish your front teeth.
Gum care - Complete mode combines Clean mode with an additional minute
to gently stimulate and massage gums to improve gum health.
Sensitive - Extra gentle mode for sensitive teeth and gums.

Easy-start - The Sonicare may feel ticklish upon rst use. To help you ease
into the Sonicare experience, the Easy-start feature will gradually increase the
sonic power over the rst 14 brushings. Brushing must last at least 1 minute to
properly advance through this ramp-up cycle.
Easy-start may be deactivated - Place the handle in the plugged-in charger (either
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.
Clinical studies are performed with the Sonicare fully charged and the Easy-start
feature deactivated.
