Brush heads
Your Philips Sonicare comes with one or more brush heads which are
designed to deliver superior results for your oral care needs.
Philips Sonicare BrushSync Technology
Your brush head(s) are enabled with BrushSync technology. This
technology enables 2 features with this toothbrush:
1Brush head mode pairing (see 'Features and Accessories')
2Brush head replacement reminder (see 'Features and Accessories')
This symbol indicates the brush head is equipped with BrushSync
technology. (Fig. 2)
Brushing modes
Your power toothbrush is equipped with 3 different modes to
accommodate all your oral care needs.
To change modes, press the mode/intensity button while the
toothbrush is off.
The following modes are available:
Clean mode
Clean is a 2-minute mode, recommended to be used with intensity
level 3. It gives you a thorough and complete clean and is
recommended to be used with the C2 Optimal Plaque Control brush
head.
White mode
White is a 2-minute 30-seconds mode, recommended to be used
with intensity level 3 and the W2 Optimal White brush head.
Gum Care mode
Gum Care is a 3-minute mode, recommended to be used with
intensity level 3 and the G2 Optimal Gum Care brush head.
Intensity settings
Your power toothbrush gives you the option to choose between 3
different intensity levels: low, medium and high. (Fig. 3) Based on the

brush head you attach, the intensity will be selected. The intensity
can be changed by pressing the mode/intensity button while
brushing. For optimal results it is recommended to use the
automatically selected intensity. The intensity cannot be changed as
long as the handle is powered off or paused.
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. 4)
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. 5)
4Apply a small amount of toothpaste on the bristles. (Fig. 6)
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. 7) 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.
8)
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. 9)
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. 10)
13
English

9To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide the
mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature. (Fig. 11) The
quadpacer feature beeps after 30 seconds.
10 Brush for the full 2 minutes following the Quadpacer. (Fig. 12) After
2 minutes, the toothbrush will automatically shut off.
In white mode, after 2 minutes the handle will continue to brush
for 30 seconds so that you can brighten and polish your front
teeth.
In gum care mode, after 2 minutes the handle will continue to
brush for an additional minute so you can gently stimulate and
massage your gums.
- 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. 13)
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)
or in White mode (for whitening claims) at high intensity with
EasyStart turned off.
Features
- EasyStart
- Brush head replacement reminder
- Pressure sensor
- Brush head mode pairing
- 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. The EasyStart feature works in all modes.
14 English

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. 14)
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.
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'.
Brush head mode pairing
An RFID chip inside the brush head communicates with the
toothbrush handle. When you attach a brush head, the handle
automatically recognizes the brush head and selects the right mode
and intensity level to optimize your brushing performance.
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.
15
English

Depending on the brushing mode you have selected (see 'Brushing
modes'), the Quadpacer beeps at different intervals during the
brushing cycle.
