mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections using the
Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’).

and brush for 30 seconds before moving to
section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue brushing
in section 3 (outside bottom teeth) and brush
for 30 seconds before moving to section 4
(inside bottom teeth).
Note:After you have completed the brushing cycle, you
can spend additional time brushing the chewing
surfaces of your teeth and areas where staining occurs.
You may also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush
turned on or off, as you prefer.
