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 (Fig. 5).
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
(Fig. 6)).

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 o, as you prefer (Fig. 7).
Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to use on:
-Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)
-Dental restorations (llings, crowns, veneers)

and not compromised. If not, braces or dental restorations may be
damaged when they come into contact with the brush head.
Note: When the Philips Sonicare toothbrush is used in clinical
studies, the handle should be fully charged and the Easy-start
feature deactivated.

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.
Warning: Please note that this process is not reversible.
To remove the rechargeable battery, you need a towel or cloth,
a hammer and a at-head (standard) screwdriver. Observe basic
safety precautions when you follow the procedure outlined below.
Be sure to protect your eyes, hands, ngers, 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 toothbrush
and let it run until it stops. Repeat this step until you can no longer
turn on the Philips Sonicare toothbrush.
2Remove and discard the brush head. Cover the entire handle with
a towel or cloth (Fig. 11).
3Hold the top of the handle with one hand and strike the handle
housing 0.5 inch above the bottom end. Strike rmly with a
hammer on all 4 sides to eject the end cap (Fig. 12).
Note: You may have to hit on the end several times to break the
internal snap connections.

does not release easily from the housing, repeat step 3 until the
end cap is released (Fig. 13).
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. 14).

board and pry until it comes apart (Fig. 15).

avoid injury to your ngers.

short from residual battery charge. The rechargeable battery
can now be recycled and the rest of the product discarded
appropriately.
