Important Information

Connecting and charging

This toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electri-
cally safe and designed for use in the bathroom.
• Plug the charger (h) into an electrical outlet and
place the toothbrush handle (e) on the charging
unit.
• The flashing blue lights indicate that the tooth-
brush is charging (picture 1, page 4); once it is
fully charged, the lights turn off. A full charge can
take up to 24 hours and enables up to ten days of
regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).
Note: After deep discharge, the blue lights might
not flash immediately; it can take up to 10–15
minutes.
• If the rechargeable battery is low a blue light is
flashing on the charge level display (g) for some
seconds when turning your toothbrush on/off. If
the rechargeable battery is empty the motor will
stop and an orange light is flashing on the charge
level display; it will need a 40-minute charge
before you can use it for a 2-minute brushing.
• 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.

Using your toothbrush

Brushing technique
Wet brush head and apply any kind of toothpaste. To
avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth
before switching on the appliance (picture 2, page 4).
When brushing your teeth with one of the Oral-B
oscillating-rotating brush heads guide the brush
head slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few
seconds on each tooth surface (picture 3, page 5).
When using the Oral-B «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 (picture 4, page 5).
®
With any brush head 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.
In the first 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).

Timer

You can choose between «Professional» or
«2-Minute» timer.
The «2-Minute» timer signals with a short stuttering
sound and a green light (b) that the dentist recom-
mended 2-minute brushing time has been reached.
The «Professional» timer signals with a short
stuttering sound and a green light at 30-seconds
intervals to move to the next quadrant of your mouth
(45 seconds intervals within «Deep Clean» mode)
