Getting started
Attaching the brush head
1Align the brush head so the bristles point in the
same direction as the front of the handle.
2Firmly press the brush head down onto the metal
shaft until it stops.
Note: It is normal to see a slight gap between the
brush head and the handle. This allows the brush
head to vibrate properly.
Charging your Philips Sonicare
1Plug the USB charging cord into a wall adapter that
is connected to a electrical outlet.
2Place the handle on the charger.
- The light of the battery level indicator
illuminates and the handle beeps twice. This
indicates that the toothbrush is charging.
Note: It can take up to 24 hours to fully charge the
battery, but you can use the Philips Sonicare
toothbrush before it is fully charged.
Using your Philips Sonicare toothbrush
If you are using your Sonicare toothbrush for the first
time, it is normal to feel more vibration than when
using a non-electric toothbrush. It is common for first
time users to apply too much pressure. Only apply
gentle pressure and let the toothbrush do the
brushing for you. Please follow brushing instructions
below for the best experience. To help you transition
to your new Sonicare power toothbrush, it comes with
the EasyStart feature turned on. This feature gently
increases the power over the first 14 brushings to help

10 English
you adapt to brushing with a Philips Sonicare
toothbrush.
Brushing instructions
1Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of
toothpaste.
2Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a
slight angle (45 degrees), pressing gently to make
the bristles reach the gumline or slightly beneath
the gumline.
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with
the teeth at all times.
3Press the power on/off button to turn on the
Philips Sonicare.
4Gently keep the bristles placed on the teeth and in
the gumline. Brush your teeth with small back and
forth motion so the bristles reach between the
teeth. Continue this motion throughout your
brushing cycle.
Note: The bristles should slightly flare. It is not
recommended to scrub as you would with a
manual toothbrush.
5To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt
the brush handle semi-upright and make several
vertical overlapping brushing strokes on each
tooth.
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout
the mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections using
the Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’).

lower teeth).

7After you have completed the brushing cycle, you
can spend additional time brushing the chewing
surfaces of your teeth and areas where staining
occurs. You can also brush your tongue, with the
toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer.
Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush should be safe to
use on braced (brush heads wear out sooner when
used on braces) and dental restorations (fillings,
crowns, veneers) if they are properly adhered and
not compromised. If a problem occurs, please
follow up with a dental professional.
Note: When the Philips Sonicare toothbrush is used in
clinical studies, the handle should be fully charged

Your Philips Sonicare is equipped with BrushSync
technology that tracks the wear of your brush head.

smart brush heads with BrushSync technology.
1When attaching a new smart brush head for the
first time the handle recognizes that you have a
Philips brush head with BrushSync technology and
begins tracking brush head wear.
2Over time, based on the pressure you apply and
the amount of time used, the handle will track
brush head wear in order to determine the optimal
time to change your brush head. This feature gives
you the guarantee for the best cleaning and care
of your teeth.

lights up amber, you should replace your brush
head.
To deactivate the brush head replacement reminder
see 'Activating or deactivating features'.
Pressure Sensor
Your Philips Sonicare is equipped with an advanced
sensor that measures the pressure you apply while
brushing. If you apply too much pressure, the
toothbrush will provide immediate feedback to
indicate that you need to reduce the pressure. This
feedback is given by a change in vibration and
therefore brushing sensation and sound. Additionally,
the brush head replacement reminder light will flash
amber.
