Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle. Note:To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide the mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’), (specific types only). 6 Brush each section for 30 seconds for a total brushing time of 2 minutes. Start with section 1 (outside top teeth) and then brush section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue with section 3 (outside bottom teeth) and finally brush section 4 (inside bottom teeth) (Fig. 6). Note: 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. The Sonicare is safe to use on: -- Braces (brush heads may wear out more quickly when used on braces) -- Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers, implants) Note:When the Sonicare is used in clinical studies, the handle has to be fully charged and the Easy-start feature must be deactivated.

Note:When you hear 3 beeps and the yellow LED of the battery level indicator flashes, this means the battery charge is below 10% and the toothbrush should be recharged. Note:To keep the battery fully charged at all times, you may keep the Sonicare on the charger when not in use.

Features Quadpacer (specific types only) -- The Quadpacer is an interval timer that has a short beep and pause to remind you to brush the 4 sections of your mouth (Fig. 7).

Dentists recommend brushing at least 2 minutes twice a day. Note: After brushing for 2.5 seconds, pressing the power on/off button causes the toothbrush to pause. After a pause of 30 seconds, the Smartimer resets. Easy-start The Easy-start feature gently increases power over the first 14 brushings to let you get used to brushing with the Sonicare.
