Connecting and charging

Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and designed for use in the bathroom.

• Plug the charger into an electrical outlet. For electric specifications refer to the bottom of the charging unit.
• The flashing blue lights indicate that the tooth-brush is charging (picture 1, page 5); once it is fully charged, the lights turn off. A full charge can take up to 24 hours and enables up to 10 days of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).

Note: After deep discharge, the blue lights might not flash immediately; it can take up to 10-15 minutes.

• If the rechargeable battery is low a blue light is flashing on the charge level display (g) for some seconds when turning your toothbrush on/off. If the rechargeable battery is empty the motor will stop and an orange light is flashing on the charge level display; it will need a 40-minute charge before you can use it for a 2-minute brushing.
• For everyday use, the handle can be stored on the charging unit to maintain it at full power. Overcharging is impossible.
• Battery maintenance: To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery, unplug the charging unit and fully discharge the handle with regular use at least every 6 months.

SmartGuide adjustments

The SmartGuide (i) comes with a demonstration mode. Deactivate this mode by removing the compartment cover in the back (picture A, page 4) and push the «set» or «h/min» button.

A flashing «12:00» indicates that you can now adjust the clock time.

Note: If the SmartGuide display is blank before first use (no active demonstration mode/no batteries inserted) the batteries will need to be replaced/inserted before continuing. Batteries are supplied.

Clock Time

Press and hold the «set» button until «12h» is displayed. By briefly pressing the «h/min» button, you can toggle between «12h» or «24h» daytime format. Push «set» to confirm your choice.

Brushing technique

Wet brush head and apply any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching on the appliance (picture 2, page 5). Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth surface (picture 3, page 5). Start brushing the outsides, then the insides and finally the chewing surfaces. Brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally. You may also consult your dentist or dental hygienist about the right technique for you.

In the first days of using any electric toothbrush, your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist after 2 weeks, please consult your dentist or dental hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth and/or gums, Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» mode (optional in combination with an Oral-B «Sensitive» brush head).

Timer

You can choose between «Professional» or «2-Minute» timer.

The «2-Minute» timer signals with a short stuttering sound and a green light (b) that the dentist recommended 2-minute brushing time has been reached.

The «Professional» timer signals with a short stuttering sound and a green light at 30-seconds intervals to move to the next quadrant of your mouth (45 seconds intervals within «Deep Clean» mode) (picture 4, page 5). A long stuttering sound and a green light indicate the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute brushing time (3-minute brushing time within «Deep Clean» mode).

The timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time, even when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. The timer resets if pausing longer than 30 seconds or briefly pressing the mode button (d) during pause.

Personalizing the timer

Your toothbrush comes with the «Professional» timer activated. To change this, press and hold the brushing mode button for 3 seconds until the SmartGuide shows «:30» and «timer». Briefly press the on/off button to switch to the «2-Minute» timer. Push the mode button to confirm.

Pressure sensor

If you put excessive pressure on your teeth, the red pressure sensor light (b) will light up (picture 4, page 5). Additionally, when brushing in «Daily Clean» or «Deep Clean» mode, the brushing mode will change to the «Sensitive» mode. Periodically

check the operation of the pressure sensor by pressing moderately on the brush head during use. Note: In «Tongue Cleaning» mode the pressure sensor is turned off.

Brushing modes (depending on model)

Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes:

“Daily Clean”	- Standard mode for daily mouth cleaning
“Deep Clean”	- Mouth cleaning with extended brushing time of 45 seconds per quadrant (3 minute total brushing time)
“Sensitive”	- Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive areas
“Whitening”	- Polishing for occasional or everyday use
“Gum Care”	- Gentle massage of gums
“Tongue Cleaning”	- Tongue cleaning for occasional or everyday use

When operating the «Tongue Cleaning» mode, we recommend using the «Sensitive» brush head. You can brush your tongue either with or without toothpaste. Brush the whole area of your tongue systematically in gentle movements. The recommended brushing time is 20 seconds; the SmartGuide will indicate completion with a smiley face.

Your toothbrush automatically starts in the «Daily Clean» mode. To switch to the other modes, successively press the mode button (picture 5, page 5). To return from any mode back to the «Daily Clean» mode, press and hold the mode button. The brushing mode is memorised even when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. When pausing longer than 30 seconds or briefly pressing the mode button (d) during pause the brushing mode resets to the «Daily Clean» mode.

Brush heads

Oral-B offers you a variety of different Oral-B brush heads that fit your Oral-B toothbrush handle.

Oral-B CrossAction brush head

Our most advanced brush head. Angled bristles for a precise clean. Lifts and powers away plaque.

Oral-B FlossAction brush head

features micropulse bristles that allow for an outstanding plaque removal in the interdental areas.

Oral-B ProWhite brush head

features a special polishing cup to naturally whiten your teeth. Please note that children under 12 years old should not use the Oral-B «ProWhite» brush head.

Oral-B Sensitive brush head

features an extra soft bristle structure that is gentle on teeth and gums.

Oral-B Precision Clean brush head

cups each tooth with a curved bristle trim and reaches deep between teeth at the same time.

Oral-B brush heads feature light blue INDICATOR® bristles to help you monitor brush head replacement need. With thorough brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the blue color will fade halfway approximately within 3 months, indicating the need to exchange your brush head. If the bristles splay before the color recedes, you may exert too much pressure on teeth and gums.

We do not recommend using the Oral-B «FlossAction» or Oral-B «ProWhite» brush head with braces. You may use the Oral-B «Ortho» brush head, specifically designed to clean around braces and wires.

Synchronizing your toothbrush

To avoid interference of display messages when using more than one Oral-B toothbrush with radio transmission and SmartGuide in the same household, you need to assign the handles to their respective SmartGuide.

You can synchronize a maximum of 2 handles with one SmartGuide. To do so, push the «h/min» button in the battery compartment for at least 3 seconds. The SmartGuide shows «L---». Turn on your handle to start the synchronization process. It is finished when «L-1-» is displayed. Turn off the handle. To assign a second handle to the same SmartGuide turn on the other handle until «L-2-» is displayed. After having synchronized the second handle, «Full» will be displayed. Exit the synchronization mode by pressing the «h/min» or «set» button, otherwise it will end automatically after 30 seconds.

Connecting your toothbrush to your Smart Phone

Download the Oral- B^TM app for free from App Store (^SM) or Google Play ^TM . The Oral- B^TM app gives you the opportunity to use your time more efficiently, chart your brushing progress and customize your toothbrush settings (for more benefits see the Oral- B^TM app instructions).

• Start the Oral- B^TM app. You can use the app and your SmartGuide (i) at the same time.
• The Oral-B™ app will guide you through the Bluetooth pairing procedure.

Note: Oral-B™ app functionality is limited if Bluetooth is deactivated on your phone (for directions please refer to your smart phone's user manual).

• Once you start using your toothbrush by lifting it off the plugged-in charger (h) or pressing any button (c)/(d), it automatically connects to the Oral-B™ app. If no connection has been established, briefly press the mode button (d) on your toothbrush handle and wait for a connection.
• Any further app instructions will be displayed on your smart phone.
• Keep your smart phone in close proximity when using it with your toothbrush handle. Make sure the smart phone is safely positioned in a dry place.

Note: Your smart phone must support Bluetooth 4.0 (or higher) in order to connect to your toothbrush handle.

Cleaning recommendations

After brushing, rinse your brush head under running water with the handle switched on. Switch off and remove the brush head. Clean handle and brush head separately; wipe them dry before reassembling.

Disassemble the charging unit before cleaning. Brush head compartment and protective cover are dishwasher-safe. Both basic charger and SmartGuide should be cleaned with a damp cloth only.

The removable inner part of the travel case (m) is dishwasher-safe. The outer case should only be wiped clean with a damp cloth (picture 6, page 5). Make sure that travel case parts are completely dry before reassembling and toothbrush/brush heads are dry before storing in the travel case.

Note: Clean stains on the travel case surface immediately. Store travel case in a clean and dry place.

Use the adhesive ring (I) with the wall mount (k) if you prefer to mount the SmartGuide on a wall, mirror or other surface. Make sure the chosen surface is clean and dry before adhering. Stick the adhesive ring on the even side of the wall mount and press it firmly to the wall. Wait 24h before sliding the SmartGuide holder (j) into the fixed wall mount. Place the SmartGuide into its holder (picture C, page 4). The adhesive ring will not work on dirt-repellent surfaces.
