Specifications
For voltage specifications refer to the bottom of the charging unit.
Charging and Operating
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and designed for
use in the bathroom.
• You may use your toothbrush right away or charge it briefly by placing it on
the plugged-in basic charger (9) or charging stand (14). When using the
charging stand (14) use the extra power cord (13) provided (picture B). The
power cord may be used for all global mains voltage ranges (100 -240V).
Note: In case the battery is empty (no lights illuminated on charge level
display (8) while charging or no reaction when pressing the on/off button (3)),
charge at least for 30 minutes.
• The charge level is indicated on the charge level display (8). Flashing lights
indicate that the battery is charging (picture
➀
/B); once it is fully charged, the
lights turn off. A full charge typically takes 12 hours and enables at least 2
weeks of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).
Note: At a very low charge level, the lights might not flash immediately; it can
take up to 30 minutes.
• If the battery is running low, a red light is flashing on the charge level display
and the motor is reducing its speed. Once the battery is empty, the motor will
stop; it will need at least a 30-minute charge for one usage.
• You can always store the handle on the plugged-in charger to maintain it at
full power; a battery overcharge is prevented by device.
Note: Store handle at room temperature for optimal battery maintenance.
Caution:
Do not expose handle to temperatures higher than 50°C / 122°F.
Using your toothbrush
Brushing technique
Wet brush head and apply any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the
brush head to your teeth before switching on the handle (picture
➁
). When
brushing your teeth with one of the Oral-B
oscillating-rotating brush heads
guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each
tooth surface (picture
➂
). When using the Oral-B
«Deep Sweep» brush head
place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle towards the
gumline. Apply light pressure and start brushing in back and forth motions, just
like you would do with a manual toothbrush.
With any brush head start brushing the outsides, then the insides and finally the
chewing surfaces. Brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally. You may also
consult your dentist or dental hygienist about the right technique for you.
In the first days of using any electric toothbrush, your gums may bleed slightly.
In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist after 2
weeks, please consult your dentist or dental hygienist. If you have sensitive
teeth and/or gums, Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» mode (optional
in combination with an Oral-B «Sensitive» brush head).
Smart Ring features
Your toothbrush is equipped with a Smart Ring (2) that has various functionalities
indicated via different colors of light:
White (default) = Operating and visual timer light (choose individual color
via Oral-B

app settings)

pairing indicator
Timer
You can choose between «Professional» or «2-Minute» timer.
The «2-Minute» timer signals with a long stuttering sound and a flashing light
of the Smart Ring (2) that the professionally recommended 2-minute brushing
time has been reached.
The «Professional» timer signals with a short stuttering sound and a flashing
light of the Smart Ring at 30-seconds intervals to move to the next quadrant
of your mouth (picture
➂
). A long stuttering sound and a flashing light indicate
the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute brushing time.
The timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time, even when the handle is
briefly switched off during brushing. The timer resets if pausing longer than
30 seconds, briefly pressing the mode button (4) during pause or placing the
handle on the plugged-in charger.
Note: During the use of special Oral-B
™
app features, the visual timer light may
be deactivated.
Timer setup:
Your toothbrush comes with the «Professional» timer activated. To change this,
press and hold the mode button (4) for 2 seconds. Toggle between timer
selection by pressing the on/off button (3). Confirm selection by pressing the
mode button.

• 4 LED’s illuminated indicate «Professional» timer
Note: You can also set/advance the timer functionality via Oral-B

App.
Pressure sensor
If too much pressure is applied, the Smart Ring (2) will light up in red, reminding
you to reduce pressure. In addition the pulsation of the brush head will stop
and the oscillation movement of the brush head will be reduced (during
«Daily Clean», «Pro Clean» and «Sensitive» mode) (picture
➂
).
Periodically check the operation of the pressure sensor by pressing moderately
on the brush head during use.
Brushing modes (depending on model)
Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes indicated on the brushing
mode display (6) on your handle («Daily Clean» mode does not illuminate on the
brushing mode display):

frequency)

whole area of your tongue systematically in gentle movements. The recommended
brushing time is 20 seconds; indicated with a flashing light of the Smart Ring.
Your toothbrush automatically starts in the mode selected last. To switch to another
mode, successively press the mode button during use (picture
