Notes
•
Batteries are not supplied. Please purchase separately.
•
Before replacing the alkaline battery, ensure the unit is thoroughly dry to
prevent water drops entering the main unit.
•
Always use alkaline batteries. Use of non-alkaline batteries may result in a
drastically reduced operating time.
•
Use only LR03 (AAA alkaline battery).
Using the toothbrush
1. Remove the cap.
2. Confi rm that the brush head is fi xed fi rmly.
3. Place the toothbrush in the mouth.
•
When using the toothbrush, especially with
toothpaste applied, place the brush head in the
mouth before operating to prevent splattering.
4. Press the power switch fi rmly to operate the toothbrush.
•
Each time you press the power switch, the appliance switches according
to the following order: “Power ON/LED lamp ON”, “Power ON/LED lamp
OFF”, “Power OFF/LED lamp OFF”.
•
Press the power switch with the ball of the fi nger.
•
Do not press with a fi ngernail. Doing so may tear the rubber of the power switch.
5. Brush the teeth by moving the main unit by hand.
•
Brush by moving the toothbrush in the same way as when you brush by
hand. Just applying the toothbrush to teeth cannot fully remove plaque,
so it is recommended that you move the toothbrush. (See “Advice for
brushing” and “Points to avoid pain in children”.)
•
Do not apply the brush head to teeth or gums too strongly.
6. When fi nished brushing, stop the motion by pressing the power switch fi rmly.
•
In order to prevent splattering of saliva, etc., turn off the toothbrush while
it is still in the mouth.
•
To prevent the power being left on after use, operation stops 5 minutes
after the power is fi rst switched on.
Caution
•
Do not use for any purpose other than dental care.
•
Do not drop or handle roughly.
Note
•
Please be careful not to get hair products, hand cream, etc. on the main
unit because it may ruin the appearance of the toothbrush.
Advice for brushing
How to hold the toothbrush
Hold the toothbrush lightly and do not use too much force.
Brushing while pressing down hard may damage the teeth or
gums. Holding the toothbrush lightly as shown in the Figure
allows the best use of the bristle tips.
How to move the brush
Move horizontally, a little at a time.
Milk teeth are characterized by wide gaps between the teeth.
Aim to use the tips of the bristles to clean the gaps between
the milk teeth.
The fi ne motion of the brush will help the bristles reach
diffi cult spots.
Check that no spot has been missed
Use the LED lamp to get a clear view.
Using the LED lamp allows a clear view of the inside of the
mouth. It is easy to miss spots on the molars, but a clear view
is now possible simply by applying the brush. Make sure that
the brush is reaching its target as you brush.
Points to avoid pain in children
Finger technique is the key
If the child does not like brushing diffi cult spots, gently push down and pull
up on the child's lips with your fi ngers so that you can brush smoothly.
Upper front teeth
With the fl eshy part of the index fi nger of your other hand,
gently lift the upper lip.
•
Pulling the connective tissue, called the frenulum, above
the front teeth may hurt, so be careful.
Outer side of molars
Have the child say “Eeee”, then insert your fi nger from the
edge of the lips to pull the cheek outward. If the child opens
wide, the cheek will not stretch outwards and it will be diffi cult
to insert the brush deep into the mouth.
If the child is trying to close his or her mouth, this may indicate pain
due to excessive force.
After use
Washing the brush head
Wash the brush head under running water.
•
Do not wash with water hotter than 80 ˚C (176 ˚F).
•
Do not pull the bristles of the brush.
(Doing so may cause bristles to come out.)
•
Shake well to remove water after washing.
Washing the main unit
1. Make sure that the battery cover is closed.
2. Wash the main unit under running water.
•
Do not wash with water hotter than 40 ˚C (104 ˚F).
•
Do not immerse the main unit under water.
(Otherwise water may get inside.)
Washing the cap
Wash the Cap under running water.
•
Do not wash with water hotter than 40 ˚C (104 ˚F).
Caution
•
Shake the cap and brush head well to drain off water, and dry them using
a dry towel, etc. After this, put the cap on the main unit. Leaving them wet
may dirty or damage the pouch or bag.
Changing the brush head (Sold separately)
•
Replacing the brush head every 3 months is recommended.
If the bristles are bent to one side or worn, the toothbrush is not effective for
brushing.
•
If the brush head is damaged by chewing, etc., there is a risk of damage to
the teeth or gums. Please replace the brush head.
