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 (see
picture B/C, page 2) into an electrical outlet and place the tooth-
brush 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 green charge indicator
light shines continuously for 5 seconds; then it turns off. A full
charge takes at least 17 hours and enables approximately one
week of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).
When the rechargeable battery is low, the red low charge indicator
light (f) starts blinking after turning off.
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 charger 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.
Specifications
For voltage specifications please refer to the bottom of the charging
unit.
Using your toothbrush
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. Do not
press too hard or scrub, simply let the brush do all the work.
Brushing modes (depending on model)
«Daily Clean» – Exceptional mouth cleaning.
«Sensitive» – Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive
areas.
«Polish/Whitening» – Exceptional polishing for occasional or
everyday use.
How to switch between modes:
When pressing the on/off button (c) your toothbrush automatically
starts in the «Daily Clean» mode.
To switch to the «Sensitive» and «Polish/Whitening» mode,
successively press the on/off button.
To turn off your toothbrush from the «Polish/Whitening» mode,
push the on/off button once more.
If you wish to turn off your toothbrush from the «Daily Clean» or
«Sensitive» mode, push and hold down the on/off button until the
motor stops.
Pressure Sensor
Helping protect your teeth and gums from hard brushing, your
toothbrush has a pressure control feature installed. If too much
pressure is applied, the red pressure sensor light (b) will light
reminding you to reduce pressure. In addition you will also hear a
different sound while brushing. Periodically check the operation of
the pressure sensor by pressing lightly on the brush head during use.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to
brush equally all four quadrants of your mouth.
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 your 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.
Cleaning recommendations
After brushing, rinse your brush head or accessory carefully under
running water for some seconds with the handle switched on.
Switch off the handle and remove the brush head or accessory.
Clean both parts separately under running water then wipe them
dry before reassembling the toothbrush.
Disassemble charging unit before cleaning. Never place the
charger in dishwasher or water; it should be cleaned with a damp
cloth only.
Brush head holder, brush head compartment and protective cover
are dishwasher-safe.
Subject to change without notice.
