Frequently Asked Questions - Sonicare FlexCare+ HX6926 PHILIPS

Why doesn't my Sonicare toothbrush work?

The battery may be empty. Charge for at least 24 hours. Check that the socket is live (some bathroom sockets cut power when lights are off). Also ensure the brush head is properly attached.

How long does it take to fully charge the toothbrush?

Charging takes 24 hours for a full charge. A fully charged battery lasts up to 3 weeks with regular use.

What brushing modes are available?

The Sonicare FlexCare+ offers four modes: Clean (2-minute whole mouth), Gum Care (2+1 minute for gentle gum massage), Refresh (1-minute quick clean), and Sensitive (2-minute gentle cleaning for sensitive teeth and gums).

How do I deactivate or activate the Easy-start feature?

Place the handle on the plugged-in charger. Press and hold the power on/off button for 2 seconds. 1 beep = deactivated, 2 beeps = activated.

Why do I feel a tickling sensation when I brush?

This is normal when using Sonicare for the first time. The sensation diminishes as you become accustomed to the sonic vibrations. If discomfort persists, switch to Sensitive mode.

How often should I replace the brush head?

Replace the brush head every 3 months for optimal cleaning. If you have braces, the brush head may wear out sooner.

Can I use the toothbrush if I have braces or dental restorations?

Yes, the Sonicare is safe for use on braces, fillings, crowns, and veneers. Brush heads may wear out faster on braces.

What does the Quadpacer feature do?

The Quadpacer is an interval timer that beeps and pauses every 30 seconds to remind you to move to a new section of your mouth (outside top, inside top, outside bottom, inside bottom). It ensures even brushing across all areas.

Can I travel with my Sonicare?

Yes, the travel charger works with voltages from 100-240 V AC and frequencies 50/60 Hz. A simple plug adapter may be needed. The battery lasts up to 3 weeks between charges.

What should I do if the toothbrush seems less powerful?

Charge the toothbrush. If the Easy-start feature is still on, deactivate it. Also check if the brush head needs replacement (every 3 months).

Preparing for use

Attaching the brush head

1 Align the brush head so the bristles face the front of the handle. (Fig. 1)
2 Firmly press the brush head down on the metal shaft until it stops.

Charging your Sonicare

1 Put the mains plug of the charger in the wall socket.
2 Place the handle on the charger (Fig. 2).
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 (Fig. 3).
3 Press the power on/off button to switch on the Sonicare.
4 Apply light pressure to maximise Sonicare's effectiveness and let the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do not scrub.

ENGLISH

5 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) (Fig. 4).

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 (Fig. 5).

Your Sonicare is safe to use on:

- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)

- Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)

Brushing modes
