Preparing for use
Attaching the brush head
1 Align the front of the brush head with the
front of the toothbrush handle. Match the bars
that are on the inside top of the removable nut
with the notches inside the top of the handle
and slide the brush head onto the handle.
2 Screw the brush head nut clockwise until it’s
rmly tightened. If the brush head rattles when
in use, tighten the nut further.
3 Remove the travel cap from your brush head
when you are ready to brush.
4 Use the cord wrap in the bottom of the
charger to store excess cord.
Charging your Sonicare
Sonicare comes with the batteries completely
discharged and should be charged for at least 24
hours during the rst few days of use.
It is recommended that you keep your Sonicare
in the charger when not in use to maintain a full
battery charge. It takes at least 24 hours to fully
charge the battery of your Sonicare toothbrush.
ENGLISH 7

1 To charge your Sonicare, place the handle
in the charger with the power button facing
forward. Be sure the bottom of the handle sits
back securely in the charger, making complete
contact.
,When the handle is placed incorrectly in the
charger, the charge indicator light may still
illuminate, but charging will not take place.
Handles of other Sonicare models do not t 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
,Place the brush head in your mouth before
turning on your Sonicare and keep your mouth
closed during brushing, otherwise toothpaste
may splatter.
,You may experience a slight tickling or tingling
sensation when using an electronic toothbrush
such as Sonicare for the rst time. As you
become accustomed to brushing with Sonicare
this sensitivity will diminish.
,A fully charged Sonicare will provide
approximately 2 weeks of typical use (2 minutes
of brushing twice a day), making it easy to travel
without the charger.
Remember that voltage converters and plug
adapters DO NOT guarantee voltage compatibility.
Always check for voltage compatibility.

Brushing technique
Follow these simple steps to maximize your brushing
experience.
1 Before turning the Sonicare on, place the
bristles of the brush head on your gumline at a
45-degree angle.
2 Hold the handle with a light grip, turn the
Sonicare on, and gently move the bristles in
a small circular motion so the longer bristles
reach between your teeth. After a few seconds,
glide the bristles to the next section. Continue
this routine throughout your 2-minute
brushing cycle.
3 To maximize the effectiveness of your Sonicare
toothbrush, use light pressure and let the
Sonicare toothbrush 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 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.
ENGLISH 9

5 After the 2-minute brushing cycle is complete,
additional time should be spent brushing the
chewing surfaces of your teeth.
Press the power button to turn the brush on and off
as needed.
To clean your mouth more completely, you may also
brush your tongue, with the toothbrush turned on
or off, as you prefer.
Tips for specic oral care needs
Stain removal
,In areas where excess staining occurs, spend
extra brushing time to assist with stain removal.
Braces
,The brush should be placed at a 45-degree angle
between your brackets and 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
turn (roll) the brush handle so the bristles clean
the bracket and the rest of the tooth before you
glide the bristles to the next tooth. Continue
this until you have brushed all of your teeth.
Please note that brush heads will wear out
sooner when used on braces.
Dental restorations (dental work)
,Use Sonicare on dental restorations (such as
implants, caps, crowns, bridges and llings) as
you would on your natural tooth surfaces to
reduce plaque build-up and improve gum health.
Work the bristles around all the areas of the
restoration for thorough cleaning.
