English
3Wet the bristles. (Fig. 4)
4Apply a small amount of toothpaste on the bristles. (Fig. 5)
5Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle (45
degrees), pressing firmly to make the bristles reach the gumline or
slightly beneath the gumline. (Fig. 6) A change in vibration (and a
slight change in sound) alerts you when you apply too much
pressure while brushing.
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the teeth at all
times.
6Press the power on/off button to turn on the Philips Sonicare. (Fig.
7)
7Gently 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. (Fig. 8)
Note: The bristles should slightly flare. Do not scrub.
8To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush handle
semi-upright and make several vertical overlapping brushing
strokes on each tooth. (Fig. 9)
9To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide the
mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature. (Fig. 10) The
quadpacer feature beeps after 30 seconds.
10 Brush for the full 2 minutes following the Quadpacer. (Fig. 11) After
2 minutes, the toothbrush will automatically shut off.
- After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can spend
additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and
areas where staining occurs. (Fig. 12)
Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)
- Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)
Note: When the Philips Sonicare toothbrush is used in clinical studies,
it must be used in the Clean mode (for plaque and gum health claims)
with EasyStart turned off.

Features

EasyStart
This Philips Sonicare model comes with the EasyStart feature
deactivated. The EasyStart feature gently increases the power over
the first 14 brushings to help you get used to the brushing with the
Philips Sonicare.
To activate EasyStart see 'Activating or deactivating features'.
Brush head replacement reminder
Your Philips Sonicare is equipped with BrushSync technology that
tracks the wear of your brush head. (Fig. 13)
1When attaching a new smart brush head for the first time the
brush head replacement reminder light blinks green three times.
This confirms you have a Philips brush head with BrushSync
technology.
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.
3When the brush head replacement reminder light 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.

13
English
To deactivate the pressure sensor see 'Activating or deactivating
features'.
Quadpacer
The Quadpacer is an interval timer that has a short beep and pause
to remind you to brush the different sections of your mouth.

modes'), the Quadpacer beeps at different intervals during the
brushing cycle.

Troubleshooting
This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could
encounter with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem
with the information below, visit www.philips.com/support for a list
of frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Center
in your country.
Problem Possible Cause Solution
I cannot fully attach
the brush head.
There is a gap
between the brush
head and handle.
This gap is normal and
is needed for the brush
head to vibrate
appropriately.

17
English
Problem Possible Cause Solution
My Philips Sonicare
toothbrush vibration
is less powerful than
before.
The Easy-start
function is activated,
the intensity level
has been lowered or
the brush head
needs to be
replaced.
Turn off the Easy-start
function and/or raise
the intensity level. If
this does not resolve
the problem, replace
the brush head. We
recommend you to
replace your Philips
Sonicare brush head
after 3 months of use
(based on brushing
twice a day for 2
minutes each session).
My Philips Sonicare
toothbrush is
missing parts.
The missing parts
are not included
with the model you
purchased.
The accessories and
the number of brush
head attachments are
dependent on the
model number you
have purchased. You
can find the HX model
number at the bottom
of your handle to
identify what comes
with your handle.
Locating the model number
Look on the bottom of the Philips Sonicare toothbrush handle for the
model number (HX68xx).
Recycling
- Do not throw away the product with the normal household waste
at the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for
recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the environment.
- This product contains a built-in rechargeable battery which shall
not be disposed of with normal household waste. Please take your
product to an official collection point or a Philips service center to
have a professional remove the rechargeable battery.

18 English
- Follow your country’s rules for the separate collection of electrical
and electronic products and rechargeable batteries. Correct
disposal helps prevent negative consequences for the
environment and human health.
Removing the rechargeable battery
Warning: Only remove the rechargeable battery when you discard the
appliance. Make sure the battery is completely empty when you
remove it.
To remove the rechargeable battery, you need a towel or cloth, a
hammer and a flat-head (standard) screwdriver. Observe basic safety
precautions when you follow the procedure outlined below. Be sure
to protect your eyes, hands, fingers, and the surface on which you
work.
1To deplete the rechargeable battery of any charge, remove the
handle from the charger, turn on the Philips Sonicare and let it run
until it stops. Repeat this step until you can no longer turn on the
Philips Sonicare.
2Remove and discard the brush head. Cover the entire handle with
a towel or cloth (Fig. 16).
3Hold the top of the handle with one hand and strike the handle
housing 0.5 inch above the bottom end. Strike firmly with a
hammer on all 4 sides to eject the end cap (Fig. 17).
Note: You may have to hit on the end several times to break the
internal snap connections.
4Remove the end cap from the toothbrush handle. If the end cap
does not release easily from the housing, repeat step 3 until the
end cap is released (Fig. 18).
5Holding the handle upside down, press the shaft down on a hard
surface. If the internal components do not easily release from the
housing, repeat step 3 until the internal components are released
(Fig. 19).
6Remove the rubber battery cover.

19
English
7Wedge the screwdriver between the battery and the black frame
at the bottom of the internal components. Then pry the
screwdriver away from the battery to break the bottom of the
black frame (Fig. 20).
8Insert the screwdriver between the bottom of the battery and the
black frame to break the metal tab connecting the battery to the
green printed circuit board. This will release the bottom end of the
battery from the frame (Fig. 21).
9Grab the battery and pull it away from the internal components to
break the second metal battery tab (Fig. 22).
Caution: Be aware of the sharp edges of the battery tabs so as to
avoid injury to your fingers.
10 Cover the battery contacts with tape to prevent any electrical short
from residual battery charge. The rechargeable battery can now be
recycled and the rest of the product discarded appropriately (Fig.
23).
