Preparing for use

Installing/replacing batteries

1.5-volt alkaline batteries.

the bottom of the handle by pulling on the

grips (fig. 2).

2 Make sure the + and - poles of the batteries

match the appropriate location inside the

handle (fig. 3).

3 Insert the batteries into the handle (fig. 4).

4 Firmly push the battery compartment cap

back onto the handle until it locks (fig. 5).

◗ To avoid damage due to battery leakage:

B

Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight.

B

Do not expose the appliance to extremely high

temperatures.

B

Do not leave empty batteries in the appliance.

B

Remove the batteries if the appliance is not going

to be used for a month or longer.

6 weeks during a clinical trial.

Attaching the brush head

Using the appliance

.

Useful tips

◗ Place the brush head in your mouth before

turning on your Sonicare, and be sure it is

turned off before removing it from your

mouth, otherwise toothpaste may splatter.

◗ You may experience a slight tickling or tingling

sensation when using an electronic

toothbrush such as Sonicare for the first time.

As you become accustomed to brushing with

Sonicare, this sensitivity will diminish.

Brushing technique

Follow these simple steps to maximize your

brushing experience:

1 Before turning on, place the bristles of the

brush head on your gumline at a 45-degree

angle (fig. 8).

2 Hold the handle with a light grip, turn on, and

gently move the bristles in a small circular

motion so the longer bristles reach between

your teeth. After a few seconds glide the

bristles to the next section. Continue this

routine throughout your 2-minute brushing

cycle.

3 To maximize effectiveness, apply only light

pressure and let the toothbrush do the

brushing for you. Do not scrub.

4 To make sure you brush evenly throughout the

mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections:

outside top, inside top, outside bottom and

inside bottom teeth. Begin brushing in section

1 (outside top teeth) and brush for 30 seconds

before moving to section 2 (inside top teeth).

Continue brushing each of the other two

sections for 30 seconds each until you've

brushed for 2 minutes (fig. 9).

5 After having completed the 2-minute brushing

cycle, additional time should be spent brushing

the chewing surfaces of your teeth (fig. 10).

6 Press the power button to turn the

toothbrush on and off as needed.

◗ You may also brush your tongue, with the

toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer.

Tips for specific oral care needs

◗ Stain removal

In areas where staining occurs, spend extra

brushing time to assist with stain removal.

◗ Braces (fig. 8).

The brush should be placed at a 45-degree angle

between your brackets and gumline. While

applying light pressure, gently move the bristles in a

small circular motion so that the long bristles reach

between your teeth for 2 seconds. Then gently

turn (roll) the brush handle so the bristles clean

the bracket and the rest of the tooth before you

move the bristles to the next tooth. Continue this

until you have brushed all of your teeth. Please

note that brush heads will wear out sooner when

used on braces.

◗ Dental restorations (dental work)

Use Sonicare on dental restorations (such as

implants, caps, crowns, bridges and fillings) as you

would on your normal tooth surfaces. Work the

bristles around all areas of the restoration for

thorough cleaning.

Features

.

Smartimer\ 2-minute timer

◗ All Sonicare models come with the Smartimer

feature, which automatically sets the brushing

time to the 2 minutes recommended by

dental professionals.

◗ After 2 minutes, the Smartimer will

automatically turn your Sonicare off.

◗ If you wish to pause or stop brushing during

your 2-minute cycle, press the power button.

Press the power button again and the

Smartimer will pick up where you left off.

B

The Smartimer will automatically reset to the

beginning of a 2-minute cycle if brushing is paused

for 30 seconds or longer.
