Important

For your personal dental care

Thank you for purchasing the Sonic Vibration Toothbrush. The Sonic Vibration Toothbrush is a new kind of electric toothbrush designed for those who wish to keep their teeth clean and healthy. This appliance will enable you to maintain good dental hygiene, which is as important as other forms of personal hygiene.

Sonic Vibration Toothbrush Technology

The Sonic Vibration Toothbrush incorporates the innovative "linear motor" technology that uses magnetic attraction and repulsion to provide outstanding performance. The brush's 31000 horizontal strokes per minute help remove plaque gently yet effectively.

Before use

This high-speed, vibrating, electric toothbrush is different from conventional electric toothbrushes. Therefore:

• You only need to lightly press the bristles against your teeth for brushing.
• When first using this appliance, some may experience a tickling or tingling sensation caused by the high-speed vibrations. The sensation should subside after you use the toothbrush several more times.

Warning

• Do not use the charger in the bath. Doing so may result in electric shock.
• Do not touch or pull out the plug with wet hands. Doing so may result in electric shock.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless

2

they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• If the power cord of the charger is damaged, the entire charger should be discarded.
  Always ensure the appliance is operated on an electric power source matched to its rated voltage. Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
• Be sure to switch off the appliance and remove the plug from a household outlet before performing any maintenance. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
• Do not wash the charger. Doing so may result in electric shock.
• Clean the plug periodically so that dust does not accumulate in it. Such dust buildup may trap moisture over time and reduce the effectiveness of the insulation, thus resulting in overheating and fire.
• Do not modify, disassemble, or repair the appliance at any time except when disposing of it. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock, and/or burns.

Caution

• Do not place any metal objects, such as coins and clips, on the charger. Doing so may cause the objects to heat up, resulting in burns.

Use

Using the toothbrush

1 Place the brush firmly onto the toothbrush shaft.
There will be a small gap between the brush and the main unit.
2 Place the toothbrush in your mouth before turning it on.
- Apply a small amount of toothpaste to the brush, if desired, before turning the power on to prevent the toothpaste from spattering.
3 Press the mode selector to select the mode.
- Pressing the mode selector toggles the operation mode between "POWERFUL" and "SOFT".

Mode Description

POWERFUL SOFT	For standard brushing Brush moves horizontally only.
POWERFUL SOFT	When teeth or gums are sensitive. When brushing in the POWERFUL mode is too strong. Brush moves horizontally only.

4 While the mode indicator is glowing, press the OFF/ON button to turn on the main unit.

• When the toothbrush first starts, the soft-start function cause it to take about 2 seconds to reach its normal speed.

5 Turn off the main unit when you have finished brushing.

• Turn off the main unit before removing it from your mouth to prevent foam from spattering.

Brushing duration notification timer

The timer will signal once at 30-second intervals to indicate the brushing time for each part of your mouth. It will signal twice at 2-minute intervals to indicate the recommended total brushing time.

• It is important to brush each area in the same sequence and with the same amount of time, every time you brush, to uniformly brush and clean your teeth. Use the 30 second brushing duration notification timer wisely so there will be no missed spot in your mouth.

• Divide your teeth into 4 parts (upper and lower, left and right), and brush one part in order such as "(1) front of the teeth", "(2) biting plane of the teeth", and "(3) back of the teeth" spending 30 seconds. Brush the other parts in the same manner, and brush your whole mouth in about 2 minutes.

Strong pressure prevention function

Pressing the brush bristles too hard against your teeth will activate this feature, causing the intensity of the vibration to be weakened automatically as a safeguard against excessive pressure.

Precaution

• When you first begin using the toothbrush, you may experience slight bleeding of the gums even though your gums may be healthy. This is because your gums are receiving stimulation by the toothbrush for the first time. The bleeding should stop after one or two weeks of use. Bleeding that persists for more than two weeks may be indication of an abnormal condition of your gums, such as pyorrhea. In this case, stop using the toothbrush and consult your dentist.

• Do not allow hair products (e.g., gel or oil) or hand lotion to come in contact with the unit as they may damage its surface.

Tips on usage

Place the bristles of the brush gently against your teeth and move the toothbrush slowly in a circular motion.

For in between the teeth and the gums

Place the bristles at a 45^ angle. Place the brush so that the minute side bristles can fit in between the teeth and gums.

For reaching the far side of the back teeth

Place the brush so that the dense tip bristles can reach the molars.

For the back side of front teeth

Brush vertically.

Move toothbrush to match the angle of the teeth.
