How can I recycle my Philips Sonicare
Toothbrush?
There are two ways to recycle your Philips Sonicare Toothbrush in the United Kingdom.
Kerbside collection
Your local authority may collect small electrical items, including your Philips Sonicare Toothbrush. Visit
your local council's website to see if they collect small electrical items. This is usually found under 'What
Can I Recycle'. If they do, follow the guidance provided to get your Philips Sonicare Toothbrush collected

How does the pressure sensor feedback
work on my Sonicare?
Your Sonicare toothbrush measures the pressure you apply while brushing to protect your gums and
teeth. If you apply too much pressure, the handle will change its vibration. The feedback light at the
toothbrush base will flash purple or the brush head reminder light will blink until you reduce the
pressure.
Resetting the pressure sensor settings
If you are unsatisfied with the pressure sensor settings, it is possible to re-calibrate them. To do so,
follow the steps below:
Ensure that the charger is plugged into an outlet. Remove and place the handle on the charger for at
least 45 seconds.
Remove your handle from the charger. Repeat this step four additional times.

How do I change the intensity settings on
my Sonicare toothbrush?
You can change the intensity of your Sonicare toothbrush on the handle or via the app. See the various
ways you can change the intensity of your Sonicare toothbrush below.
Change the intensity on the Sonicare Prestige 9900
Your toothbrush is set at high intensity by default. This is the third and largest of the three indicator
lights.
The middle indicator light is for medium intensity.
The bottom indicator light is for low intensity.
You can change the setting during the brushing cycle by pressing the intensity indicator lights or in the
Sonicare app.
Change the intensity on the DiamondClean Smart
You can choose between three different intensity levels: low, medium and high. The intensity will
automatically be selected based on the brush head you attach. While brushing, you can change the
intensity by pressing the mode/intensity button. This feature cannot be adjusted if the handle is paused
or powered off.
Change the intensity with the power button
Some Sonicare toothbrushes have intensity options but do not have LED lights. These models allow you
to change the intensity by pressing the power button while in use.
Change the intensity on the FlexCare Platinum
You can choose between three different intensity levels: low, medium and high. To increase the
intensity level, press the + button. Press the - button to decrease. You can do this at any time during the
brushing cycle.
Change the intensity in the Sonicare app (Prestige only)
You can also change your Sonicare Prestige toothbrush intensity in the Sonicare app. Here is how:
Open the Sonicare app.

On the pre-brushing screen, tap the ^ button to expand the toothbrush settings: Tap Low, Medium or
High intensity on the top half of the screen.
A tick will appear on the update screen. This indicates that your intensity has been changed
successfully. It will also be shown on the handle.
Tap the < arrow to start brushing with your new intensity.
