HOW TO USE POWERDENT ULTRA
1. Attach the brush head to the handle by positioning the
brush head at a 90-degree angle to the left of the han-
dle (See Figure A). Turn the brush head counter clock-
wise one-quarter turn, so the bristles are facing the
same direction as the ON/OFF button, and the brush
head will snap into place. The Smart Sensor logo will be
facing forward as will the bristles. (See Figure B)
2. Before brushing, wet the brush head to moisten, then
apply toothpaste.
3.
TO USE WITH SMART SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
Push the ON/OFF button briefly, and the
corresponding LED light will glow green, indicating
that the power is ON. Apply brush head against your
teeth to activate the toothbrush (See Figure C).
Unit will not operate (no function) until pressure
is applied to the brush head.
If you do not apply
pressure to the brush head for 15 seconds the unit
will turn off, along with the green LED light.
TO USE WITHOUT SMART SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
Press and hold the ON/OFF button for about
2 seconds, after which time the unit will automatically
begin working. This option, to override the Smart
Sensor feature, is available for those who have learned
how to brush with a light touch or would prefer not to
use this feature.
4. Guide the brush head to your teeth, placing it at a 45
degree angle towards the gum line. Gently guide the
brush head from tooth to tooth, spending a few
seconds on the surface of each tooth.
Dentists recommend that you brush your
teeth gently to avoid tooth and gum abra-
sion. Exclusive HoMedics’ Smart Sensor™
technology activates the brushing action
when just the lightest amount of pressure is
applied, to help protect teeth and gums and
reinforce proper brushing habits.
CHARGING
INSTRUCTIONS
Follow this procedure before you use the
PowerDent Ultra for the first time.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
1. Plug the charger base into a 120-volt
outlet. Place the handle into the base and
allow it to charge for at least 16 hours
before using it for the first time.
2. The charger indicator light on the handle
will glow red when the tooth brush is
correctly placed in the charger base. This
is an indication that the handle is
charging. The indicator will turn off when
the toothbrush is removed from the base.
3. The optimum voltage for charging is 120V.
4. To maintain the unit’s full performance, it
should always be replaced back on the
charging base after use.
Note: Charge for at least 16 hours before
using the unit for the first time.
