Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and
designed for use in the bathroom.
• Plug the basic charger (g) or the assembled charging unit (picture
B/C, page 2) into an electrical outlet and place the toothbrush
handle (d) on the charging unit.
• The green charge indicator light (e) flashes while the handle is
being charged. Once it is fully charged, the light turns off. A full
charge can take up to 22 hours and enables up to seven days of
regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes) (picture 1, page 2).
• When the rechargeable battery is low, the red low charge
indicator light (f) starts flashing after turning off the toothbrush.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on the
charging unit to maintain it at full power. Overcharging is
impossible.
• 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
Wet brush head and apply toothpaste; you can use any kind of
toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth
before switching on the appliance. 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 Deep Sweep 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 all brush
heads 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 5, page 2).
In the first few 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 (optional in combination
with the Oral-B Sensitive Gum Care brush head).
Brushing modes (depending on model)
«Daily Clean» – Exceptional mouth cleaning.
«Sensitive»
– Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive areas.
«Whitening»
– Exceptional whitening for occasional or everyday
use.
How to switch between modes:
• When pressing the on/off button (c) your toothbrush automati-
cally starts in the «Daily Clean» mode.
• To switch to the «Sensitive» and «Whitening» mode, successively
press the on/off button.
