Preparing for use

Changing the colour code ring

Sonicare brush heads come with interchangeable colour code rings to identify your brush head.

To change the colour code ring:

1 Pull the colour code ring from the bottom of the brush head.

2 Install a new ring by slipping one edge of the new ring over the bottom of the brush head.

Attaching the brush head

1 Align the brush head so the bristles face the front of the handle.
2 Firmly press the brush head down on the metal shaft until it stops. Note:There is a small gap between the colour code ring and the handle.

Charging your Sonicare

1 Put the mains plug of the charger or sanitiser in the wall socket.
2 Place the handle on the charger or sanitiser.

The flashing light of the battery gauge indicates that the toothbrush is charging.

• 1 solid green LED indicates that the toothbrush is 34 - 66% charged.
• 2 solid green LEDs indicate that the toothbrush is 67 - 94% charged.
• 3 solid green LEDs indicate that the toothbrush is fully charged.

Note: If the battery charge of your Sonicare is low, you hear 3 beeps and 1 LED of the recharge gauge flashes yellow for 30 seconds after completing the brushing cycle.

Note: To keep the battery fully charged at all times, you may keep your Sonicare on the charger when not in use. Once the Sonicare is fully charged, the charger draws minimal energy from the wall socket.

Note: It takes at least 24 hours to fully charge the battery.

Using the Sonicare

Brushing instructions

1 Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
2 Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle towards the gumline.
3 Press the power on/off button to switch on the Sonicare.
Apply light pressure to maximise Sonicare's effectiveness and let the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do not scrub.
Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small back and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth. Continue this motion throughout your brushing cycle.

Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter 'Features').

6 Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving to section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue brushing in section 3 (outside bottom teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving to section 4 (inside bottom teeth).
7 After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can spend additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas where staining occurs. You may also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush switched on or off, as you prefer.

Your Sonicare is safe to use on:

• Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)
• Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)

Brushing modes

Sonicare automatically starts in the default Clean mode.

1 Prior to switching on the Sonicare, press the mode button to toggle between modes.
The selected brushing mode illuminates.
Once a brushing mode has been selected, it remains active until another brushing mode is selected.

Note: When the toothbrush is switched on, you cannot toggle between modes.

The following brushing modes are available:

Clean

Complete whole mouth cleaning (2 minutes).

Gum Care

Complete whole mouth cleaning (2 minutes) plus gentle cleaning for problem areas and along the gumline (1 minute).

Refresh

Touch-up for a quick clean (1 minute).

Sensitive

Gentle cleaning for sensitive gums and teeth (2 minutes).

Massage

Gentle gum stimulation (2 minutes).

Note: When Sonicare is used in clinical studies, the default 2-minute Clean mode must be selected. The handle has to be fully charged. Deactivate the Easy-start feature. For areas where excess staining occurs, an additional 30 seconds of brushing time can be spent to help remove stains.

Features

Easy-start

This Sonicare type comes with the Easy-start feature activated. The Easy-start feature gently increases power over the first 14 brushings to help you get used to brushing with the Sonicare.

Note: Each of the first 14 brushings must be at least 1 minute in length to properly move through the Easy-start ramp-up cycle.

Deactivating or activating the Easy-start feature

1 Attach your brush head to the handle.
2 Place the handle on the plugged-in charger.

• To deactivate Easy-start:
  Press and hold the power on/off button for 2 seconds. You hear 1 beep to indicate that the Easy-start feature has been deactivated.
• To activate Easy-start:
  Press and hold the power on/off button for 2 seconds. You hear 2 beep to indicate that the Easy-start feature has been activated.

Note: Using the Easy-start feature beyond the initial ramp-up period is not recommended and reduces Sonicare's effectiveness in removing plaque.

Smartimer

The Smartimer indicates that your brushing cycle is complete when it automatically switches off the toothbrush at the end of the brushing cycle.

Dentists recommend brushing at least 2 minutes twice a day.

Quadpacer

• The Quadpacer is an interval timer that has a short beep and pause to remind you to brush the 4 sections of your mouth. Depending on the brushing mode you have selected, the Quadpacer beeps at different intervals during the brushing cycle. See section 'Brushing modes' in chapter 'Using the Sonicare'.

The Quadpacer feature on this type has been activated. To deactivate or reactivate the Quadpacer feature:

1 Place the handle with a brush head attached on the plugged-in charger.
Press and hold the mode button for 2 seconds.

You hear 1 beep to indicate the Quadpacer has been deactivated or you hear 2 beeps to indicate the Quadpacer has been activated.

Cord wrap on deluxe charger (specific types only)

If your type includes the deluxe charger cover and base, the travel charger is pre-installed inside the cover. If you want to shorten the mains cord, you can store excess cord in the cord wrap feature built into the charger base.

1 To separate the charger cover from the charger base, press the two grey snap bars on the charger base and pull the white charger cover upwards.
2 Wrap excess power cord around the grey charger base as shown in the picture. Be sure to wrap the cord on the inside of the two snap levers.

3 When you have stored the excess cord, guide the mains cord through the small groove in the rear of the grey charger base.
