Specifications
For voltage specifications please refer
to the bottom of the charging unit.
Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof
handle, is electrically safe and
designed for use in the bathroom.
• Plug the basic charger (E) or the
assembled charging unit (E/F) into an
electrical outlet and place the tooth-
brush handle (C) on the charging
unit.
• The green charge indicator light (D)
flashes while the handle is being
charged. Once it is fully charged, the
light turns off. A full charge can take
up to 22 hours and enables up to
seven days of regular brushing (twice
a day, 2 minutes) (1).
Note: After deep discharge, the green
light might not flash immediately; it
can take up to 10–15 minutes.
• If the rechargeable battery is low
the red charge indicator light (D) is
flashing for some seconds when
turning your toothbrush on/off.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush
handle can be stored on the
plugged-in charging unit to maintain
it at full power. Overcharging is
impossible.
• To maintain the maximum capacity
of the rechargeable battery, unplug
the charging unit and fully discharge
the handle with regular use at least
every 6 months.
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 appliance (2). 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.
When using the Oral-B
«TriZone»
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 (3).
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.
Pressure Sensor
Your toothbrush has a pressure control
feature installed. If too much pressure
is applied, the movement of the brush
head will continue but the pulsation
will stop. In addition you will hear a
different sound while brushing.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second
intervals reminds you to brush equally
all four quadrants of your mouth. A
long stuttering sound indicates the end
of the professionally recommended
2-minute brushing time (4). The
elapsed brushing time is memorised,
even when the handle is briefly
switched off during brushing. When
pausing longer than 30 seconds the
timer resets.
