OMRON Sonic style 456 Sonic Electric Toothbrush

Thank you for purchasing this OMRON Sonic style 456. Please read the instructions carefully before use, and keep this manual for future references. Do not use this unit for purposes other than described in this manual.

1. Notes on Safety

Warning:

• Please consult your dentist if you recently had oral or periodontal surgery, or if you are under treatment with other oral symptoms (tooth is being treated, loose false tooth).
• Consult your dentist if there is continuous or serious bleeding of the gums after using the toothbrush.
• Children should be supervised to ensure correct usage of the product.
• Do not share the brush with others.
• Do not rinse the battery charger with water.
• Do not leave the main unit or battery charger in shower room or other wet places.

• Do not mishandle the electric cable, such as:

• Damage or break the cable - Machining or modifying the cable

• Forcibly stretch or bend the cable - Twist the cable
• Bundle the power cables - Place heavy weights on the power cable
• Clamp or clip the cable

- Do not use when the power cable or power plug is damaged, or the power jack is loose.

- Do not connect or remove the power plug with wet hands.

- Be sure to use the device at the specified mains voltage.

- Except for waste disposal, do not disassemble the main unit.

Caution:

• When disposing the main unit, affix scotch tape or label to the electrodes of the battery.
• Do not use battery charger other than the one dedicated to this product.
• Do not press the toothbrush with excessive force against the teeth or gum, or touch them with the plastic parts other than the front end of the bristle. Also, avoid brushing the same area for too long.
• Approved for human use only.
• Do not step on or drop the main unit or battery charger, or subject them to strong shock.
• Do not throw the rechargeable battery in fire.
• For energy saving purposes, please charge the main unit only when the battery level is too low. When not charging it, we recommend the power plug to be removed from the socket.
• Do not leave the unit unattended with persons who cannot express their consent.

General Advice:

• It is widely accepted that the abrasive used in toothpaste to remove cigarette stains or whiten the teeth may bring serious wear if it is used too long. Please consult your dentist before using abrasive types of toothpastes as it may damage the teeth or gum.
• You may experience a light tickling or tingling sensation when you use the toothbrush for the first time. This is caused by the sonic oscillation unique to the sonic electric toothbrush.

4. Attachment of Brush Head

1. Attach the brush head to the toothbrush main unit.

Align the groove on the brush head with the locking tab on the main unit and then attach the brush head.

Note: The head cannot be mounted if the groove and the locking tab do not fit together.

2. Secure the brush head and the main unit.

Gently turn the brush head in the direction shown by the arrow, to align the ○ mark on the brush head with the ○ mark on the toothbrush. The brush head will be secured once the ○ mark aligned with the □ mark.

    C --> D["Point swing mode (Blue)"]

Description in ( ) shows the color of indicator when the mode is changed.

Cleaning mode of brush head

The wide swing mode and point swing mode are recommended to effectively remove dental plaque, as the oscillation of the bristle end is more refined with these two modes. Choose the mode according to brushing position and personal preference.

- Wide swing mode

Mode on: orange indicator lights up

Under the wide swing mode, the bristle moves two times wider in a horizontal way compared to the standard swing mode. It is recommended for gently cleaning the gap between teeth and gums.

- Point swing mode

Mode on: blue indicator lights up

Under the point swing mode, the bristle moves approx. 1.5 times in vertical way compared to the standard swing mode.

It is recommended for cleaning the inner side of front teeth, back teeth and area that is difficult to clean thoroughly due to poorly-aligned teeth.
