Attaching the brush head
1Align the brush head so the bristles point in the same
direction as the front of the handle.
C

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.
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 you adapt to brushing with
a Philips Sonicare toothbrush.
Brushing instructions
1Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of
toothpaste.
2Press the power on/off button to turn on the Philips
Sonicare. Then select the brushing mode.
3Place 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.

10 English
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the
teeth at all times.
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’).

6Begin brushing in section 1 (outside upper teeth) and
brush for 30 seconds before you move to section 2
(inside upper teeth). Continue brushing in section 3
(outside lower teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before
you move to section 4 (inside 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, it must be used in Clean mode with the
handle fully charged and the EasyStart feature
deactivated.

Brush head replacement reminder
Your Philips Sonicare is equipped with BrushSync
technology that tracks the wear of your brush head. This
feature gives you the guarantee for the best cleaning and
care of your teeth.
Note: This feature only works with Philips Sonicare smart
brush heads with BrushSync technology.
1When a new smart brush head is attached 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 how
long the brush head has been used, the handle will
track brush head wear in order to determine the
optimal time to change your brush head. When the
life of the brush head is less than 14 days, the display
shows the brush head replacement reminder symbol
and indicates in days when you should replace the
brush head.
When the brush head reaches its end of life, the
display shows the brush head replacement reminder
symbol and indicates that you should replace the
brush head as soon as possible.
Pressure Sensor
Your Philips Sonicare is equipped with an advanced
sensor that measures the pressure you apply while
brushing. If you apply too much or too little pressure, the
toothbrush will provide immediate feedback to indicate
that you need to adjust the pressure. This feedback is
given by a light ring with different color at the bottom of
the handle.

Problem Possible cause Solution
I cannot fully attach the
brush head. There is a
gap between the brush
head and handle.
This is normal. A small
gap is necessary to
allow movement in
order to deliver the
vibrations needed to
clean your teeth.
My Philips Sonicare
toothbrush vibration is
less powerful than
before.
The brush head is too
close to the body of the
handle.
Remove the brush head
from the handle and re-
set it on the metal shaft
leaving small gap.
(1-2mm)
The battery is low. Charge the toothbrush
handle on the charger.
I have charged my
toothbrush, but it only
works for a short time.
The toothbrush handle
is not placed vertically
on the charger,
resulting in no charge.
Place handle vertically
on charger base and
make sure the charger is
plugged in.
The toothbrush stops
working.
The battery is empty. Charge the toothbrush
handle on the charger.
