Using your Philips Sonicare
Brushing instructions
1Press the brush head onto the handle in such a way that the
bristles will face the front of the handle. (Fig. 3)
2Firmly press the brush head down onto the metal shaft until it
stops.
Note: It is normal to see a slight gap between the brush head and
the handle.
3Wet the bristles. (Fig. 4)
4Apply a small amount of toothpaste on the bristles. (Fig. 5)
5Place 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. (Fig. 6) A change in vibration (and a
slight change in sound) alerts you when you apply too much
pressure while brushing.
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the teeth at all
times.
6Press the power on/off button to turn on the Philips Sonicare. (Fig.
7)
7Gently 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. (Fig. 8)
Note: The bristles should slightly flare. Do not scrub.
8To 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. 9)
11
English

9To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide the
mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature. (Fig. 10) The
quadpacer feature beeps after 30 seconds.
10 Brush for the full 2 minutes following the Quadpacer. (Fig. 11) After
2 minutes, the toothbrush will automatically shut off.
- After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can spend
additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and
areas where staining occurs. (Fig. 12)
Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)
- Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)
Note: When the Philips Sonicare toothbrush is used in clinical studies,
it must be used in the Clean mode (for plaque and gum health claims)
with EasyStart turned off.
Features
- EasyStart
- Brush head replacement reminder
- Pressure sensor
- Quadpacer
EasyStart
This Philips Sonicare model comes with the EasyStart feature
deactivated. The EasyStart feature gently increases the power over
the first 14 brushings to help you get used to the brushing with the
Philips Sonicare.
To activate EasyStart see 'Activating or deactivating features'.
Brush head replacement reminder
Your Philips Sonicare is equipped with BrushSync technology that
tracks the wear of your brush head. (Fig. 13)
1When attaching a new smart brush head for the first time the
brush head replacement reminder light blinks green three times.
This confirms you have a Philips brush head with BrushSync
technology.
12 English

2Over time, based on the pressure you apply and the amount of
time used, the handle will track brush head wear in order to
determine the optimal time to change your brush head. This
feature gives you the guarantee for the best cleaning and care of
your teeth.
3When the brush head replacement reminder light lights up amber,
you should replace your brush head.
To deactivate the brush head replacement reminder see 'Activating or
deactivating features'.
Pressure sensor
Your Philips Sonicare is equipped with an advanced sensor that
measures the pressure you apply while brushing. If you apply too
much pressure, the toothbrush will provide immediate feedback to
indicate that you need to reduce the pressure. This feedback is given
by a change in vibration and therefore brushing sensation.
To deactivate the pressure sensor see 'Activating or deactivating
features'.
Quadpacer
The Quadpacer is an interval timer that has a short beep and pause
to remind you to brush the different sections of your mouth.
Depending on the brushing mode you have selected (see 'Brushing
modes'), the Quadpacer beeps at different intervals during the
brushing cycle.

Removing the rechargeable battery
Warning: Only remove the rechargeable battery when you discard the
appliance. Make sure the battery is completely empty when you
remove it.
To remove the rechargeable battery, you need a towel or cloth, a
hammer and a flat-head (standard) screwdriver. Observe basic safety
precautions when you follow the procedure outlined below. Be sure
to protect your eyes, hands, fingers, and the surface on which you
work.
1To deplete the rechargeable battery of any charge, remove the
handle from the charger, turn on the Philips Sonicare and let it run
until it stops. Repeat this step until you can no longer turn on the
Philips Sonicare.
2Remove and discard the brush head. Cover the entire handle with
a towel or cloth (Fig. 16).
3Hold the top of the handle with one hand and strike the handle
housing 0.5 inch above the bottom end. Strike firmly with a
hammer on all 4 sides to eject the end cap (Fig. 17).
Note: You may have to hit on the end several times to break the
internal snap connections.
4Remove the end cap from the toothbrush handle. If the end cap
does not release easily from the housing, repeat step 3 until the
end cap is released (Fig. 18).

5Holding the handle upside down, press the shaft down on a hard
surface. If the internal components do not easily release from the
housing, repeat step 3 until the internal components are released
(Fig. 19).

at the bottom of the internal components. Then pry the
screwdriver away from the battery to break the bottom of the
black frame (Fig. 20).

black frame to break the metal tab connecting the battery to the
green printed circuit board. This will release the bottom end of the
battery from the frame (Fig. 21).
9Grab the battery and pull it away from the internal components to
break the second metal battery tab (Fig. 22).
Caution: Be aware of the sharp edges of the battery tabs so as to
