WARNING
• If the product is dropped, the brush head should be replaced
before the next use even if no damage is visible.
• Do not place the charger in water, liquid or store it where it can fall
or be pulled into a tub or sink. Do not reach for it if it has fallen
into water. Unplug immediately.
• Do not disassemble the product except when disposing of the
battery. When taking out the battery for disposal of the unit, use
caution so as not to short the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals.
• When unplugging, always hold the power plug instead of the
cord. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. This can
cause an electric shock.
• If you are undergoing treatment for any oral care condition,
consult your dental professional prior to use.

Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and
designed for use in the bathroom.
• Plug the basic charger (f) or the assembled charging unit (see
picture B, page 2) into an electrical outlet and place the tooth-
brush handle (c) on the charging unit.
• The green charge indicator light (d) flashes while the handle is
being charged. Once it is fully charged, the green charge indicator
light shines continuously for 5 seconds and then it turns off. A full
charge enables up to seven days of regular brushing (twice a day,
2 minutes). To check the charging status when the charging light
is off, shortly lift up and return your handle on the charging unit.
The charge indicator light will shine permanently for 5 seconds
and turns off when your handle is fully charged.
• When the rechargeable battery is low, the red low charge indicator
light (e) 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 impos-
sible. However for environmental reasons, Oral-B recommends to
unplug the charging unit until the next recharge is required.
• 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. Guide the brush head slowly
from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth surface.
Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the outsides, then the
insides, finally the chewing surfaces (see picture 5, page 2). Do not
press too hard or scrub.
Pressure Sensor
To promote optimal brushing your toothbrush has a pressure
control feature installed. If too much pressure is applied, the
oscillating movement of the brush head will continue but the
pulsation will stop. In addition you will also hear a different sound
while brushing.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to brush
all four quadrants of your mouth equally (see picture 4, page 2).
A long stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally
recommended 2-minute brushing time. The elapsed brushing time is
memorised when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing.
When pausing longer than 30 seconds the timer resets.
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.
