Preparing for use
Attaching the brush head
C1Align the front of the brush head with the front of the
toothbrush handle. Match the bars that are on the inside top of
the removable nut with the notches inside the top of the
handle and slide the brush head onto the handle.
C2Screw the brush head nut clockwise until it's firmly tightened.
If the brush head rattles when in use, tighten the nut further.
3Remove the travel cap from your brush head when you are
ready to brush.
C4Use the cord wrap in the bottom of the charger to store
excess cord.
Charging your Sonicare\
Sonicare comes with the batteries completely discharged and should
be charged for at least 24 hours during the first few days of use.
ENGLISH6
4235 020 17172 16-12-2005 08:04 Pagina 6

It is recommended that you keep your Sonicare in the charger when
not in use to maintain a full battery charge. It takes at least 24 hours to
fully charge the battery of your Sonicare toothbrush.
C1To charge your Sonicare, place the handle in the charger with
the power button facing forward. Be sure the bottom of the
handle sits back securely in the charger, making complete
contact.
C◗When the handle is placed incorrectly in the charger, the charge
indicator light may still illuminate, but charging will not take place.
Handles of other Sonicare models do not fit in this charger and will
therefore not charge effectively. Do not attempt to force a handle into
this charger as this will cause damage.
Using the appliance
Useful tips
◗Place the brush head in your mouth before turning on your
Sonicare and keep your mouth closed during brushing, otherwise
toothpaste may splatter.
◗You may experience a slight tickling or tingling sensation when
using an electronic toothbrush such as Sonicare for the first time.
As you become accustomed to brushing with Sonicare this
sensitivity will diminish.
◗A fully charged Sonicare will provide approximately 2 weeks of
typical use (2 minutes of brushing twice a day), making it easy to
travel without the charger.
Remember that voltage converters and plug adapters DO NOT
guarantee voltage compatibility. Always check for voltage compatibility.
Brushing technique
Follow these simple steps to maximize your brushing experience.
C1Before turning the Sonicare on, place the bristles of the brush
head on your gumline at a 45-degree angle.
2Hold the handle with a light grip, turn the Sonicare on, and
gently move the bristles in a small circular motion so the
longer bristles reach between your teeth.After a few seconds,
glide the bristles to the next section. Continue this routine
throughout your 2-minute brushing cycle.
ENGLISH 7

º
4235 020 17172 16-12-2005 08:04 Pagina 7

3To maximize the effectiveness of your Sonicare toothbrush, use
light pressure and let the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing
for you. Do not scrub.
C4To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide
your mouth into 4 sections: outside top, inside top, outside
bottom and inside bottom teeth. Begin brushing in section 1
(outside top teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving to
section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue brushing for 30 seconds
in each section progressing through all 4 sections until you've
brushed for 2 minutes.
5After the 2-minute brushing cycle is complete, additional time
should be spent brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth.
Press the power button to turn the brush on and off as needed.
To clean your mouth more completely, you may also brush your
tongue, with the toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer.
Tips for specific oral care needs
Stain removal
◗In areas where excess staining occurs, spend extra brushing time
to assist with stain removal.
Braces
C◗The brush should be placed at a 45-degree angle between your
brackets and gumline. Using light pressure, gently move the
bristles in a small circular motion so the longer bristles reach
between your teeth for 2 seconds.Then gently turn (roll) the
brush handle so the bristles clean the bracket and the rest of the
tooth before you glide the bristles to the next tooth. Continue
this until you have brushed all of your teeth. Please note that
brush heads will wear out sooner when used on braces.
Dental restorations (dental work)
◗Use Sonicare on dental restorations (such as implants, caps,
crowns, bridges and fillings) as you would on your natural tooth
surfaces to reduce plaque build-up and improve gum health.Work
the bristles around all the areas of the restoration for thorough
cleaning.
Periodontal pockets
◗Your dental professional may have indicated that you have
periodontal pockets, deep pockets where plaque bacteria collect.
If this is the case, after brushing for a full 2 minutes, spend extra
time gently brushing these areas to improve your gum health.

Features
Easy-start\brushing power ramp-up
◗All Sonicare models come with the Easy-start feature activated
(on), which helps you get used to brushing with Sonicare.
◗Brushing power will gently increase to full power over the first
12 brushings.
◗The Easy-start feature is active if you hear 2 beeps immediately
after turning on your Sonicare. Once you reach optimal brushing
power (after the 12th brushing), you will no longer hear the
double beep at the beginning of your brushing routine.
BNote: each of the first 12 brushings must be at least 1 minute in length
to properly move through the Easy-start ramp-up cycle.
To deactivate or activate the Easy-start feature:
1Attach your brush head to the handle.
2Place the handle in a plugged-in charger base.
3To deactivate the Easy-start feature, press and hold the power
button for 5 seconds.You will hear 1 beep to indicate that the
Easy-start feature has been deactivated.
4To activate the Easy-start feature, press and hold the power
button for 5 seconds.You will hear 2 beeps to indicate that the
Easy-start feature has been activated.
Using the Easy-start feature beyond the initial ramp-up period is not
recommended and reduces the effectiveness of your Sonicare
toothbrush in removing plaque.
The Easy-start feature should be deactivated and the handle fully
charged when Sonicare is used in clinical trials.
Smartimer\2-minute timer
◗All Sonicare models come with the Smartimer feature, which
automatically sets the brushing time to the 2 minutes
recommended by dental professionals.
◗After 2 minutes the Smartimer will automatically turn off the
toothbrush.
◗If you wish to pause or stop brushing during your 2-minute cycle,
press the power button. Press the power button again and the
Smartimer will pick up where you left off.
◗The Smartimer will automatically reset to the beginning of a
2-minute cycle if:
- brushing is paused for 30 seconds or longer;
- the handle is returned to the charger base.
ENGLISH 9
4235 020 17172 16-12-2005 08:04 Pagina 9

Quadpacer\30-second interval timer (available on select
models).
C◗Quadpacer makes sure that you brush all sections of your mouth
evenly and thoroughly.At 30, 60 and 90 seconds, you will hear a
short beep and a pause in brushing action.This is your signal to
move to the next section of your mouth.
Battery charge indicator (available on select models).
◗If your Sonicare has a low charge, you will hear 5 beeps after you
have brushed your teeth for 2 minutes and the charge indicator
light will flash rapidly.
When you hear the low charge indication, you have 3 or fewer 2-minute
brushings left.
C1Place the handle in the charger base (with the power button
facing towards you) to begin the recharging process.
◗The charge indicator light flashes slowly when the handle is in the
charger base to signal charging is in progress.
◗When the Sonicare is fully charged, the charge indicator light is
constantly on (not flashing), signaling that your Sonicare is ready
for use.
When not in use, keep your Sonicare in the charger base to maintain a
full battery charge.
Cleaning
By following these simple steps, you should get years of
worry-free brushing:
C1Rinse brush head and bristles after each use.

Solution
Recharge your Sonicare overnight, ensuring that it is not plugged into an
electrical outlet controlled by a light switch. Make sure the brush head is
attached correctly.
You may experience a slight tickling/tingling sensation when using
Sonicare for the first time. As you become accustomed to brushing with
Sonicare this sensitivity will diminish.

brush head nut can eliminate excessive rattling. If rattling does not stop,
you may need to replace the brush head. Make sure that the travel cap
has been removed.
This can be avoided by keeping the brush head properly oriented, with
the brush head placed on the gumline at an angle of 30 to 40 degrees.
The handle may need recharging.
The Easy-start feature may be on and needs to be shut off (see chapter
"Using the appliance")
You may need to clean your brush head.
You may need to replace your brush head.

C4Enroulez le cordon d'alimentation autour du support de
rangement au bas du chargeur.
Pour charger votre Sonicare\
La brosse à dents Sonicare est fournie avec les piles complètement
déchargées; elles doivent être chargées pendant au moins 24 heures
au cours des premiers jours d'utilisation.
Il est recommandé de placer votre Sonicare sur le chargeur lorsque
vous ne l'utilisez pas pour garder les piles chargés. Les piles sont
complètement chargés après 24 heures.
C1Pour charger votre Sonicare, placez le manche sur le chargeur
avec le bouton marche/arrêt dirigé en avant.Assurez-vous que
le manche est correctement fixée sur le chargeur, en faisant
contact.
C◗Si le manche n'est pas correctement placée sur le chargeur, le
témoin de charge peut s'allumer, mais l'appareil ne se charge pas.
Les manches d'autres modèles Sonicare ne peuvent pas être fixés sur
ce chargeur, et ne pourront donc pas être chargés correctement.
N'essayez pas de fixer un autre manche en le forçant, car vous pourriez
causer des dommages.
Utilisation de l'appareil
Conseils utiles
◗Pour éviter les éclaboussures, placez tête de brossage dans votre
bouche avant de mettre le Sonicare en marche et tenez la bouche
fermée.
◗Il se peut que vous ressentiez un léger sensation de
chatouillement après avoir utilisé la brosse Sonicare pour la
première fois. Cette sensation sera moins forte au fur et à mesure
que vous vous habituerez à la brosse à dents Sonicare.
◗Un appareil Sonicare complètement chargé a une autonomie de
fonctionnement d'environ 2 semaines en usage normal (2 minutes
de brossage deux fois par jour). Il est donc très commode, car
vous pouvez partir en voyage sans le chargeur.

Technique de brossage
Suivez ces étapes simples pour tirer le maximum de votre expérience
de brossage.
C1Avant de mettre l'appareil Sonicare en marche, placez les soies
de la tête de brossage sur le rebord gingival à un angle de
45 degrés.
2Tenez le manche sans la serrer trop fort, mettez le Sonicare en
marche, et déplacez doucement les soies en effectuant un petit
mouvement circulaire, de manière à ce que les soies les plus
longs passent entre vos dents.Après quelques secondes faites
glisser les soies vers la section suivante. Continuez ainsi jusqu'à
ce que vous ayez terminé le cycle de brossage de 2 minutes.
3Pour profiter de manière optimale de votre appareil Sonicare,
appliquez uniquement une pression légère et laissez la brosse à
dents Sonicare faire le reste. Ne frottez pas.
C4Pour vous assurer que vous brossez bien toutes vos dents,
divisez votre cavité buccale en quatre sections : dents du haut
face externe, dents du haut face interne, dents du bas face
externe et dents du bas face interne. Commencez par la
première section (dents du haut face externe) et brossez vos
dents pendant 30 secondes avant de passer à la deuxième
section (dents du haut face interne). Continuez de brosser
chaque section pendant 30 secondes chacune jusqu'à ce que
les dents des 4 sections aient été brossées et que les 2 minutes
soient écoulées.
5À la fin du cycle de brossage de 2 minutes, vous devrez passer
encore quelque temps pour brosser la zone de mâche.
Appuyez sur le bouton marche/arrêt pour mettre la brosse à dents en
marche ou pour l'arrêter.
Pour un meilleur nettoyage de la bouche, vous pouvez brosser votre
langue avec la brosse à dents.
