Your power toothbrush is equipped with either
2 or 3 brushing modes, depending on your

thorough and complete clean and is
recommended to be used with the C2 Optimal
Plaque Control brush head.

1Press the brush head onto the handle in
such a way that the bristles will face the
front of the handle.

metal shaft until it stops.
Note: It is normal to see a slight gap
between the brush head and the handle.
3Wet the bristles.

14 English
4Apply a small amount of toothpaste on the
bristles.
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. 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.
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.

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.

brush head. This feature gives you the
guarantee for the best cleaning and care of
your teeth.

reminder see 'Activating or deactivating

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.

18 English
Note: The Pressure Sensor comes activated
with your product. 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 brushing cycle.
