Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof
handle, is electrically safe and
designed for use in the bathroom.
• Plug the basic charger (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 green charge indicator light
shines continuously for 5 seconds
and then it turns off. A full charge
enables up to seven days of regular
brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes)
(picture 1).
• If the rechargeable battery is low the
red low charge indicator light (e) is
flashing for some seconds when
turning your toothbrush on/off.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush
handle can be stored on the
charging unit to maintain it at full
power. Overcharging is impossible.
However, for environmental reasons,
Oral-B recommends to unplug the
charger until the next recharge is
required.
• 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.
Please note: If the charge indicator
light is not flashing immediately,
continue charging. It will appear in
10–15 minutes.
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 (picture 2).
When brushing your teeth with one of
the rotating brush heads guide the
brush head slowly from tooth to tooth,
spending a few seconds on each
tooth surface.
When using the 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 (picture 4).
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 gums, Oral-B
recommends using the «Sensitive»
mode (depending on model).
Pressure Sensor
To promote optimal brushing your
toothbrush has a pressure control
feature installed. If too much pressure
is applied, the movement of the brush
head will continue but its pulsation will
stop. In addition you will also 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
(picture 3). A long stuttering sound
indicates the end of the professionally
recommended 2-minute brushing
time. The elapsed brushing time is
memorised, even when the handle is
briefly switched off during brushing.
