SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Preparing for use
To attach the Sonicare brush head:
C1Align the front of the brush head with the front of the
toothbrush handle. Match the bars on the brush head with the
notches inside the top of the handle and slide the brush head
onto the handle.
ENGLISH 5

C2Turn the brush head nut clockwise until it is firmly tightened. If
the brush head rattles during use, tighten the nut further.
Charging your Sonicare\
Sonicare comes with the batteries completely discharged and should
be charged for at least 24 hours during the first few days of use.
C1To charge your Sonicare, place the handle in the charger with
the Sonicare logo facing forward. Be sure the bottom of the
handle sits back securely in the charger, making complete
contact.
C◗When the handle is placed incorrectly in the charger, the green
charge indicator LED may illuminate, but charging will not take
place.
Handles of other Sonicare models will not fit in this charger and will
therefore not charge effectively. Do not attempt to force a handle into
this charger as this will cause damage.
Using the appliance
Useful tips
◗You can use your favorite toothpaste with your Sonicare.
◗The brush head comes with a convenient travel cap. Remove the
travel cap from the brush head before turning on your Sonicare.
◗Place the brush head in your mouth before turning on your
Sonicare, and be sure it is turned off before removing it from your
mouth, otherwise toothpaste may splatter.
◗You may experience a slight tickling or tingling sensation after
using an electronic toothbrush such as Sonicare for the first time.
As you become accustomed to brushing with Sonicare this
sensation will diminish.
◗Rinse the brush head and bristles after each use.
◗Clean the brush head weekly, including under the nut.
◗A fully charged Sonicare will provide approximately 2 weeks of
typical use (2 minutes of brushing twice a day), making it easy to
take your Sonicare along without the charger.
ENGLISH6

Remember: voltage converters and plug adapters DO NOT guarantee
voltage compatibility. Always check for voltage compatibility.
Tips for specific oral care needs
◗Stain removal
In areas where staining occurs, a few seconds of additional brushing
time may be spent to assist with stain removal.
C◗Braces
The brush should be placed at an angle between your brackets and
gumline. Using light pressure, gently move the bristles in a small circular
motion so the long bristles reach between your teeth for 2 seconds.
Then gently turn (roll) the brush handle so the bristles clean the
bracket and the rest of the tooth before you move the bristles to the
next tooth. Continue this until you have brushed all of your teeth.
◗Dental restoration
Use Sonicare on dental restorations (e.g. implants, caps, crowns, bridges
and fillings) as you would on your normal tooth surfaces to reduce
plaque build-up and improve gum health.Work the bristles around all
areas of the restoration for thorough cleaning.
◗Periodontal pockets
Your dental professional may have indicated that you have periodontal
pockets, deep pockets where plaque bacteria collect. If this is the case,
after brushing for a full 2 minutes, spend extra time gently brushing
these areas to improve your gum health.You may want to take
advantage of the Programmable Quadpacer\timer feature on the
7800 series model (see Programmable Quadpacer timer section).
Proper brushing technique
Follow these simple steps to maximize your brushing experience:
1Before turning the Sonicare on, place the bristles of the brush
head along the gumline with the longer bristles placed between
your teeth.
C2Slightly tilt the handle so that the bristles are placed on the
gumline at an angle.
3Hold the handle with a light 'fingertip' grip and turn the
Sonicare on.
4Gently move the vibrating brush head in a slightly circular
motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth.After
a few seconds, glide the bristles to the next section and pause
while you gently circulate the bristles again. Continue this
ENGLISH 7

routine throughout your 2-minute brushing cycle to effectively
remove plaque in hard-to-reach places.
5To maximize Sonicare's effectiveness apply only light pressure
and let the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do
not scrub.
6The angled brush head and slender neck help you reach the
back teeth and the tooth surfaces on the inside of the mouth.
Be sure to adjust your brushing to use the angle to your
advantage and keep as many bristles in contact with the teeth
as possible.
C7To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide
your mouth into 4 sections: outside top, inside top, outside
bottom and inside bottom teeth. Begin brushing in section 1
(outside top teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving to
section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue brushing for 30 seconds
in each section progressing through all 4 sections until you've
brushed for 2 minutes. If activated, the Quadpacer\timer will
beep every 30 seconds to signal you to move to the next
quadrant.
8After having completed the 2-minute brushing cycle, your
Sonicare will automatically turn off. If you want, you can turn
the toothbrush back on for another brushing cycle and spend
additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth.
9You may also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush turned
on or off, as you prefer.
10 You may experience a slight tickling or tingling sensation when
using the Sonicare for the first time.As you become
accustomed to brushing with the Sonicare, this sensation will
diminish.
Remember to floss daily.
Special features
Features that simplify brushing:
Easy-start\brushing power ramp-up
◗All Sonicare models come with the Easy-start feature activated,
which helps you get used to brushing with Sonicare.
◗Brushing power will gently increase to full power over the first 14
brushings.
◗The Easy-start feature is active if you hear 2 beeps immediately
ENGLISH8
1
3

after turning on your Sonicare. Once the appliance has reached
optimal brushing power (after the 14th brushing), you will no longer
hear the double beep at the beginning of your brushing routine.
BNote: Each of the first 14 brushings must be at least 1 minute in length
to properly advance through the Easy-start ramp-up cycle.
To turn off or reactivate the Easy-start feature:
1Attach your brush head to the handle.
2Place the handle in the plugged-in charger.
3To deactivate Easy-start:
Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds.You will hear 1 beep to
indicate that the Easy-start feature had been deactivated.
4To reactivate Easy-start:
Press and hold the power button until you hear 2 beeps.This indicates
that the Easy-start feature is active again.
Using the Easy-start feature beyond the initial ramp-up period is not
recommended and reduces Sonicare's effectiveness in removing
plaque.
The Easy-start feature should be deactivated when Sonicare is used in
clinical trials.
Smartimer\2-minute timer
◗All Sonicare models come with the Smartimer feature, which
automatically sets the brushing time to the 2 minutes
recommended by dental professionals.After these 2 minutes, your
Sonicare will automatically turn off. If you wish to brush for a
longer period, simply press the power button and another 2-
minute cycle will start.
◗If you wish to pause or stop brushing during your 2-minute cycle,
press the power button. If you press the power button again, the
Smartimer will resume where you left off.
BThe Smartimer will automatically reset to the beginning of a 2-minute
cycle if:
-brushing is paused for 30 seconds or longer;
-the handle is returned to the charger.
ENGLISH 9

Quadpacer\30-second interval timer
C◗Quadpacer makes sure that you brush all sections of your mouth
evenly and thoroughly.At 30-second intervals (at 30, 60 and
90 seconds in case of a 2-minute brushing cycle), you will hear a
short beep and a pause in brushing action.This is your signal to
move to the next section of your mouth.
Programmable Quadpacer timer (series 7800)
The Programmable Quadpacer timer offers you the option of
customizing the Quadpacer performance in 1 of 3 ways:
◗You may opt to keep the factory default setting of a 2-minute
brushing time with Quadpacer beeps activated.
◗You may choose to extend your brushing time to 2.5 minutes by
adding an additional timing interval of 30 seconds.
◗You may choose a 2-minute brushing time, but with the Quadpacer
beeps turned off.
To change the Quadpacer settings:
1Place the handle in the charger that is plugged into a live
electrical outlet.
C2Press the Dual Speed Control button briefly and note which
LED lights up.
3Press and hold the Dual Speed Control button. Continue to
hold the button while the LEDs slowly cycle through the timing
interval setting options:
C◗Green LED in position 4: Quadpacer active (factory default
setting).
C◗Green LED in top (5th) position: 2.5 minute setting - Quadpacer
active with additional timing interval of 30 seconds.
ENGLISH10
1
3

C◗Yellow LED in bottom (1st) position: no timing intervals set -
Quadpacer not active.
4To program the desired setting, release the button when the
LED corresponding to your choice lights up.
BNote: Selecting 2.5 minutes brushing time reduces the number of
brushings available from a charged battery.
Dual Speed Control (series 7800, 7500)
The Dual Speed Control feature allows you to choose between 2
speed settings: Normal speed for optimum brushing performance, or
Reduced speed when an even more gentle action is desired.
Each time you turn your Sonicare on, it will begin brushing at the
Normal speed setting.To change the speed setting:
C1From Normal to Reduced speed: press the Dual Speed Control
button once during brushing.
2From Reduced to Normal speed: press the Dual Speed Control
button a second time during brushing.
A distinctive two-tone beep indicates that the speed setting has been
changed.
It is recommended that you brush at the Normal speed setting to
maintain optimal results.
The Normal setting should be selected when Sonicare is used in clinical
trials.
Battery Charge Indicator
C◗If the battery charge of your Sonicare is low, you will hear 3 beeps
after you have brushed your teeth for 2 minutes and the charge
indicator LED will blink yellow for 30 seconds.
A low charge indication signifies that 3 or fewer 2-minute brushings
remain.
When not in use, keep your Sonicare in the charger to maintain a full
battery charge.
Charge Indicator (series 7800, 7500)
◗When the handle is placed in the charger, the green charge
indicator LEDs will blink in a rising pattern as the battery charges.
The number of blinking LEDs indicates the level to which the
battery has been charged.
When the battery reaches full charge, the LEDs stop blinking and start
ENGLISH 11

to burn continuously.About once a minute, the charge indicator LEDs
go out momentarily and then come back on.This indicates that the
battery is being maintained at full charge.The full charge indication will
persist until the handle is removed from the charger.
The blinking yellow LED indicates that fewer than 3 brushings remain.
Charge Indicator (series 7300)
C◗When the handle is placed in the charger, the charge indicator
LED will blink green as the battery charges.When the battery
reaches full charge, the charge indicator LED will burn green
continuously until the handle is removed from the charger.
When your Sonicare is turned on or off, the charge indicator LED will
blink yellow if the battery charge is low.
Luxury Brush Holder (series 7800, 7500)
C◗Some Sonicare models come with a Luxury Brush Holder (series
7800, 7500).
C◗The Luxury Brush Holder can be mounted to the wall with 2
screws (3.0 x 30mm) and 2 wall plugs (not included).
Caring for your Sonicare
Simple tips for care

C◗Si la poignée n'est pas correctement placée sur le chargeur, le
témoin vert peut s'allumer mais l'appareil ne se charge pas.
Les poignées d'autres modèles Sonicare ne peuvent pas être fixées sur
ce chargeur et vous ne pouvez donc pas les charger correctement.
N'essayez pas de fixer une autre poignée en la forçant sur ce chargeur,
car vous pourriez l'endommager.
Utilisation de l'appareil
Suggestions utiles
◗Avec Sonicare vous pouvez utiliser votre dentifrice préféré.
◗La tête de brossage est fournie avec un capot de protection.
Retirez-le avant de mettre votre Sonicare en marche.
FRANÇAIS 19

◗Pour éviter les éclaboussures, placez la brossette dans votre
bouche avant de mettre le Sonicare en marche et ne l'ôtez pas
avant d'arrêter l'appareil.
◗Vous pouvez éprouver une légère sensation de chatouillement lors
des premiers brossages avec une brosse à dents électrique telle
que Sonicare. Cette sensation disparaîtra après quelques
utilisations.
◗Rincez la tête de brossage après chaque utilisation.
◗Nettoyez la tête de brossage chaque semaine, y compris sous la
bague de serrage.
◗Un appareil Sonicare complètement chargé a une autonomie de
fonctionnement de 2 semaines environ en usage normal (2 minutes
de brossage deux fois par jour). Il est donc très commode de
prendre Sonicare en voyage sans le chargeur.
Attention: Les convertisseurs de tension et les adaptateurs NE
garantissent PAS la compatibilité de tension.Vérifiez toujours la
compatibilité detension.
Suggestions d'utilisations pour besoins spéciaux du soin de la
cavité buccale
◗Détachage
Insistez quelques secondes de plus sur les zones où des tâches sont
présentes.
C◗Appareil dentaire
La brossette doit être placée contre vos dents de telle sorte qu'elle
couvre aussi bien la surface des prothèses que celle des gencives.Tout
en exerçant une pression douce, remuez les poils plus longs entre les
dents pendant 2 secondes. Ensuite tournez légèrement la poignée vers
le bas pour pouvoir nettoyer la prothèse et le reste de la dent avant de
passer à la dent suivante. Continuez jusqu'à ce que vous ayez brossé
toutes les dents.
◗Restaurations dentaires
Utilisez le Sonicare sur restaurations dentaires (par ex. implant dentaire,
jaquettes, couronnes, bridges et plombages) comme vous l'auriez fait
sur les surfaces normales pour réduire le risque de l'apparition de la
plaque et pour améliorer la santé des gencives. Remuez les poils autour
de toutes les zones de la restauration pour un brossage à fond.
◗Poches parodontales
Votre dentiste vous a dit que vous aviez des poches parodontales, des
approfondissements où la plaque bactérienne peut apparaître. Dans ce
cas, après avoir brossé les dents pendant 2 minutes, brossez
doucement encore quelques secondes ces zones pour améliorer la
santé des gencives.Vous pouvez profiter du minuteur programmable
Quadpacer\du modèle de la série 7800 (voir chapitre Minuteur
Quadpacer Programmable).
