3Press the power on/off and mode button to turn on the Philips

4Gently keep the bristles placed on the teeth and in the gumline.
Brush your teeth with small back and forth motion so the bristles
reach between the teeth. Continue this motion throughout your

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. 7).
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth,
divide your mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature
(see chapter ‘Features’).

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.
8)).
7After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can spend
additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and
areas where staining occurs. (Fig. 9)
