Before cleaning your teeth

This product

The Sonic Vibration Toothbrush is an electric toothbrush with sonic vibration* of approximately 31 000 horizontal and 12 000 vertical brush strokes/minute.

• Sonic vibration in acoustic wave field

Bleeding of the gums

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 periodontal disease. In this case, stop using the toothbrush and consult your dentist.

Features

To get accustomed to the high speed vibration, the toothbrush will gradually reach the selected speed and vibration approximately 2 seconds after it starts operating.

About the 30-second brushing notification timer function

The toothbrush will pause once at 30-second intervals to indicate the brushing time. It pauses twice at 2-minute intervals then starts again.

• This function is not available in W-GUMCARE mode and STAINOFF mode.

About quick charge

Even if the charge runs out, charging for 2 minutes will provide approximately 2 minutes of use.

• Use time may vary depending on ambient temperature and use conditions.

• Ensure that the direction is correct.

• Do not attach the brush head by twisting it into place. Doing so may damage the brush head and main unit.

• The toothbrush shaft will move when a force is applied. This is required for operation, and is not a malfunction.

FAQ

Question Answer

Buisn 111M

Why does the toothbrush pause once, or the intensity of vibration reduce, at 30-second intervals?

Aen

Will the battery deteriorate if not used for an extended period of time?

Can I charge the appliance after every use?

The toothbrush will notify you of the elapsed brushing time every 30 seconds.

(See page 12 about "30-second brushing notification timer function.") (See page 16 about "STAINOFF mode.")

The battery will deteriorate if not used for over 6 months, so make sure to perform a full charge at least once every 6 months.

The battery used is a lithium-ion, so charging after every use will have no effect on battery life.
