Removing the rechargeable battery
Warning: Only remove the rechargeable battery when you discard
the appliance. Make sure the battery is completely empty when
you remove it.
To remove the rechargeable battery, you need a towel or cloth,
a hammer and a flat-head (standard) screwdriver. Observe basic
safety precautions when you follow the procedure outlined below.
Be sure to protect your eyes, hands, fingers, and the surface on
which you work.
1
To deplete the rechargeable battery of any charge, remove the
handle from the charger, turn on the Philips Sonicare and let it
run until it stops. Repeat this step until you can no longer turn on
the Philips Sonicare.
2
Remove and discard the brush head. Cover the entire handle
with a towel or cloth.
3
Hold the top of the handle with one hand and strike the handle
housing 0.5 inch above the bottom end. Strike firmly with a
hammer on all 4 sides to eject the end cap.
Note: You may have to hit on the end several times to break the
internal snap connections.
4
Remove the end cap from the toothbrush handle. If the end cap
does not release easily from the housing, repeat step 3 until the
end cap is released.
5
Holding the handle upside down, press the shaft down on a
hard surface. If the internal components do not easily release
from the housing, repeat step 3 until the internal components
are released.
