Charging your Philips Sonicare
1 Plug the charger into an electrical outlet.
2 Place the handle on the charger (Fig. 5).
- The flashing light of the battery level indicator indicates that the
toothbrush is charging.
- When the battery is fully charged, the battery level indicator
lights up solid green for 10 seconds before it turns off.
Note: It can take up to 48 hours to fully charge the battery, but the
Philips Sonicare may be used before it is fully charged.
Using the appliance
Brushing instructions
1 Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
2 Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle (45
degrees), pressing firmly to make the bristles reach the gumline or
slightly beneath the gumline (Fig. 7).
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the teeth at all
times.
3 Press the power on/off and mode button to turn on the Philips
Sonicare.
4 Apply light pressure to maximize Philips Sonicare's effectiveness
and let the Philips Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do
not scrub.
5 Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small
back and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your
teeth. Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle.
6 To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush handle
semi-upright and make several vertical overlapping brushing
strokes on each tooth (Fig. 8).
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth,
divide your mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature
(see chapter 'Features').
