SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
REMOVING AND DISPOSING OF NI-CAD BATTERIES
SoniDent is equipped with long-lasting, rechargeable
nickel-cadmium batteries. To help protect our environment,
they should be removed at the end of the unit’s life for safe
disposal. Batteries CANNOT be replaced.
To remove the batteries before discarding product:
1. Place the handle in the charging base and turn
counter clockwise to remove the cap.
2. Slide the battery out of the SoniDent handle and
remove.
3. Dispose of the cell-pack in compliance with national or
local regulations for environmental protection and
recycling of raw materials. Do not dispose of the
cell-pack by burning or incineration.
Caution:
Opening the
handle will
destroy the
appliance and
invalidate the
warranty.
Note: During the
first few days of
using, your
gums may bleed
slightly. Any
bleeding should
stop within a
few days. If your
gums continue
to bleed for a
period of 2
weeks or more,
discontinue use
and consult
your dentist.
11.Brush heads should be replaced every 2-3 months to
ensure optimal performance.
HoMedics replacement brush heads (RH-S) for this
model are available at your local retailer or check

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. After use, rinse the brush head for several seconds
under running water with the handle switched on.
2. Switch off the handle and take off the brush head.
3. Rinse both parts separately under running water
and wipe them dry. Note: Be sure to point the
handle downward (upside down) when rinsing. Do
not allow water to drain down into the handle.
4. After cleaning place the handle back on the
charging base. Note: For optimal charging base
stability, run the power cord through the right or left
slot on the back of the charging base.
5. When SoniDent is not in use for an extended
period, unplug the cord and store.
6. Clean the charger base periodically with a soft cloth
or paper towel. The charger base must be dry
before plugging it into an electrical outlet.
Note: To maintain
optimal
performance, we
recommend that
you replace your
brush head every
2-3 months.
Note: We recom-
mend soaking
the brush head in
a denture cleaner
(commercially
available) every 2
to 4 weeks to
keep it
hygienically
clean.
