Using the appliance

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.
3 Press the power on/off button to switch on the Sonicare.
Apply light pressure to maximise Sonicare's effectiveness and let the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do not scrub.
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').

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).
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.

The Sonicare is safe to use on:

• Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)
• Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)

Note: You can switch the toothbrush on or off at any time by pressing and holding the power on/off button for 2 seconds.

Clean and White mode brushing instructions

The Clean and White mode combines 2 minutes of Clean mode for a whole mouth clean, with an additional 30 seconds of White mode to focus on the visible front teeth.

1 Brush the first 2 minutes as instructed in steps 1-6 above.
2 After the 2 minutes of Clean mode, the White mode begins with a change in brushing sound and motion. This is your signal to start brushing the upper front teeth for 15 seconds.

3 At the next beep and pause, move to the bottom front teeth for the final 15 seconds of brushing.

Brushing modes

Sonicare automatically starts in the default Clean mode. To select a different brushing mode:

1 Press the on/off button to toggle between modes.
The green LED indicates the selected mode.

Note: You can only toggle between modes when the toothbrush is switched on.

Clean mode

Standard mode for superior teeth cleaning.

Sensitive mode (specific types only)

Clean and White mode

2 minutes of Clean mode, with an additional 30 seconds of White mode to focus on your visible front teeth.

Note: When Sonicare is used in clinical studies, the default 2-minute Clean mode must be selected. However, in whitening/stain reduction studies, the Clean and White mode must be selected. The handle must be fully charged and the Easy-start feature must be deactivated.

Features

Easy-start

• This Sonicare model comes with the Easy-start feature activated.
• The Easy-start feature gently increases power over the first 14 brushings to let you get used to brushing with the Sonicare.

Note: Each of the first 14 brushings must be at least 1 minute in length to move through the Easy-start ramp-up cycle properly.

Note: When the Clean and White mode is selected, the Easy-start feature is inactive.

Deactivating or activating the Easy-start feature

1 Attach your brush head to the handle.
2 Place the handle on the plugged-in charger.

• To deactivate Easy-start:

Press and hold the power on/off button for

2 seconds. You hear 1 beep to indicate that the

Easy-start feature has been deactivated.

• To activate Easy-start:

Press and hold the power on/off button for

2 seconds. You hear 2 beeps to indicate that the

Easy-start feature has been activated.

Note: Using the Easy-start feature beyond the initial ramp-up period is not recommended and reduces Sonicare's effectiveness in removing plaque.

Smartimer

The Smartimer indicates that your brushing cycle is complete by automatically switching off the toothbrush at the end of the brushing cycle.

Dentists recommend brushing at leas 2 minutes twice a day.

If you want to pause or stop brushing during your 2-minute cycle, press and hold the power on/off button for 2 seconds. Press the power on/off button again and the Smartimer picks up where you left off. The Smartimer automatically resets to the beginning of a 2-minute cycle if:

• brushing is paused for 30 seconds or longer.
• the handle is placed on the charger.

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 evenly and thoroughly.
• When you use the two-minute Clean or Sensitive mode, you hear a short beep and a pause in brushing action at 30, 60 and 90 second intervals.
• When you use the Clean and White mode, you hear and feel a change in the brush head sound and motion after 2 minutes of Clean mode. Then move the brush head to the visible top front teeth and brush them for 15 seconds. At the final beep and pause, move to the visible bottom teeth and brush them for 15 seconds.
