Getting started
1Align the brush head so the bristles point in
the same direction as the front of the handle.
2Firmly press the brush head down onto the
metal shaft until it will not go any further.
Note: It is normal to see a slight gap between
the brush head and the handle.
Using your Philips Sonicare toothbrush
If you are using your Sonicare toothbrush for the
first time, it is normal to feel more vibration than
when using a non-electric toothbrush. It is
common for first-time users to apply too much
pressure. Only apply gentle pressure and let the
toothbrush do the brushing for you. Please follow
the brushing instructions below for the best
experience.
To help you transition to your new Sonicare
power toothbrush, use a lower setting for the
first 1-2 weeks then transition to a higher setting.
Brushing instructions
1Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of
toothpaste.

2Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth
at a slight angle (45 degrees), pressing firmly
to make the bristles reach the gumline or
slightly beneath the gumline.
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact
with the teeth at all times.
3Press the power on/off button to switch on
the Philips Sonicare.
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 brushing cycle.
Note: The bristles should slightly flare. It is not
recommended to scrub as you would with a
manual toothbrush.
Note: If you apply too much pressure, you will
be alerted by a change in vibration of the
handle and the brush head replacement
reminder flashing amber.
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.

14 English
6After you have completed the brushing cycle,
you can spend additional time brushing the
chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas
where staining occurs. You can also brush your
tongue, with the toothbrush switched on or
off, as you prefer.
Note: Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to
use on braces (brush heads wear out sooner
when used on braces) and dental restorations
(fillings, crowns, veneers) if they are properly
adhered and not compromised.

mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections using
the QuadPacer feature. The QuadPacer divides
the brushing time into 4 equal segments and
indicates when you should move to the next
area. The segments are indicated with a brief
pause in vibration. The toothbrush automatically
stops at the end of the brushing session.
Note: Additional time will be added when you
use the White or Gum Care Modes.
Modes

Your Sonicare toothbrush measures the pressure
you apply while brushing, to protect your gums

If you apply excess pressure, the handle changes
its vibration and the brush head replacement
reminder icon flashes amber until you reduce the
pressure.

Sensor activated. To deactivate this feature (see

The QuadPacer is an interval timer that helps you
to brush evenly through the mouth by dividing
your mouth into 4 sections. (See 'Brushing
instructions')

is complete by automatically switching off the
toothbrush at the end of the brushing cycle.

technology that tracks the wear of your brush
head.

Sonicare smart brush heads with BrushSync
technology.

the first time, the handle recognizes that you
have a Philips brush head with BrushSync
technology and begins tracking brush head
wear.

2Over time, based on the pressure you apply
and the total time the brush head has been
used, the handle tracks brush head wear in
order to determine the optimal time to
replace your brush head. This feature
guarantees the best cleaning and care of your
teeth.
3When the brush head replacement reminder
indicator lights up amber, you should replace
your brush head.
All smart brush heads come with the brush head
replacement reminder feature activated. To
deactivate the brush head replacement reminder
see 'Activating or deactivating features'.
Brush head mode pairing
Note: Features included may vary based on
model purchased.
Brush heads with BrushSync technology are
equipped with a microchip which communicates
with the handle and automatically pairs it with
the recommended mode and intensity. Most
brush heads with BrushSync technology will auto
pair to Clean Mode. Brush heads with specific
benefits will pair with the corresponding mode
(when available), examples include:
-G2 Optimal Gum Care or G3 Premium Gum
Care: Gum Care mode
-W3 Premium White or W(c) DiamondClean
