and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between the teeth.
Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle.
Note:To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide the mouth
into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’), (specic
types only).
6 Brush each section for 30 seconds for a total brushing time of
2 minutes. Start with section 1 (outside top teeth) and then brush
section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue with section 3 (outside
bottomteeth)andnallybrushsection4(insidebottomteeth)
(Fig. 6).
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 switched on or
off, as you prefer.
The Sonicare is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads may wear out more quickly when used on
braces)
- Dental restorations (llings, crowns, veneers, implants)
Note:When the Sonicare is used in clinical studies, the handle has to be fully
charged and the Easy-start feature must be deactivated.
Battery status (when handle is not on charger)
- A yellow battery level indicator indicates a low charge.
- A green battery level indicator indicates a high charge.
- The battery level indicator turns off when the battery is in between a
low and a high charge.
Note:When you hear 3 beeps and the yellow LED of the battery level
indicator ashes, this means the battery charge is below 10% and the
toothbrush should be recharged.
Note:To keep the battery fully charged at all times, you may keep the
Sonicare on the charger when not in use.
