ENGLISH6

Attaching the brush head
1 To place the brush head on the handle, slide
the ribs on the inside of the nut into the
grooves in the top of the handle.
2 Screw the brush head nut clockwise until it
is rmly tightened. If the brush head rattles
during use, tighten the nut further.

before you start brushing.
Charging
Charge the Sonicare for at least 24 hours during the
rst few days of use.
We advise you to keep the Sonicare in the plugged-
in charger when not in use, to maintain a full battery
charge.
When the battery is empty, it takes at least 24 hours
to charge the Sonicare fully.
1 Place the handle in the charger (with the on/off
button facing towards the front of the charger)
to charge the appliance.
Make sure the bottom of the handle sits back
securely in the charger so that it makes complete
contact.
,The charging light ashes slowly when the
handle is in the charger to indicate that charging
is in progress.
,When the Sonicare is fully charged, the charging
light lights up continuously to indicate that the
Sonicare is ready for use.
ENGLISH 7

Note:When the handle is placed in the charger
incorrectly, the charging light may still go on, but
charging does not take place.
Note: The handles of other Sonicare models do not t
in this charger and therefore will not charge effectively.
Do not attempt to force a handle into this charger, as
this causes damage.
Battery charge indication (specic models
only)
When the battery runs low, you hear 5 beeps
after the 2-minute brushing cycle and the charging
light ashes rapidly. When you hear the low charge
indication, there are 3 or fewer 2-minute brushings
left.
Using the appliance
Brushing technique
Follow these simple steps to maximise your brushing
experience.
1 Before you switch on the Sonicare, place the
bristles of the brush head on your gumline at a
45-degree angle.
2 Hold the handle with a light grip and switch
on the Sonicare. Gently move the bristles in a
small circular motion so that the longer bristles
reach between your teeth. After a few seconds,
pass the bristles to the next section. Continue
this routine throughout the 2-minute brushing
cycle.
ENGLISH8

3 To maximise the effectiveness of the Sonicare
toothbrush, use light pressure and let the
Sonicare do the brushing for you. Do not
scrub.
4 To make sure you brush evenly throughout
the mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections:
outside upper teeth, inside upper teeth,
outside lower teeth and inside lower teeth.
Begin brushing the rst section (outside upper
teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving
to the next section (inside upper teeth).
Continue brushing the other two sections for
30 seconds each until you have completed the
2-minute brushing cycle.
5 After the 2-minute brushing cycle, you can
briey switch on the Sonicare again to brush
the chewing surfaces of your teeth.
You can press the on/off button to switch the
Sonicare on or off as desired.
Tip:To clean your mouth more completely, you can also
brush your tongue with the toothbrush switched on or
off, as you prefer.
Tips for specic oral care needs
- Stain removal
For even better stain removal, dedicate a few
seconds of extra brushing time to areas where
excess staining occurs.
- Braces
Place the brush head at a 45-degree angle between
the brackets and the gumline. Using light pressure,
gently move the bristles in a small circular motion
so the longer bristles reach between your teeth for
2 seconds.Then gently roll the brush handle so the
bristles clean the bracket and the rest of the tooth.
ENGLISH 9

Subsequently pass the bristles to the next tooth.
Continue this procedure until you have brushed all
your teeth. Please note that brush heads wear out
sooner when used on braces.
- Dental restorations
Use the Sonicare on dental restorations (such as
implants, caps, crowns, bridges and llings) as you
do on your natural tooth surfaces.Work the bristles
round all the areas of the restoration for thorough
cleaning.
- Periodontal pockets
Your dentist or dental hygienist may have indicated
that you have periodontal pockets, deep pockets
where plaque bacteria collect. If this is the case,
spend extra time brushing these areas after you have
completed the 2-minute brushing cycle to improve
your gum health.
Features
Easy-start
- This Sonicare model come with the Easy-start
feature activated, which helps you get used to
brushing with the Sonicare.
- The brushing power gently increases to full power
over the rst 12 brushings.
- The Easy-start feature is active if you hear 2
beeps immediately after you switch on the
Sonicare. Once the Sonicare has reached optimal
brushing power (after the 12th brushing), you no
longer hear the 2 beeps at the beginning of each
brushing cycle.
Note: Each of the rst 12 brushings must be at least
1 minute long to move properly through the Easy-start
ramp-up cycle.
