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
(picture B) into an electrical outlet and place the
toothbrush 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 light
turns off. A full charge can take up to 22 hours and
enables up to 10 days of regular brushing (twice a day, 2
minutes) (picture 2).
Note: After deep discharge, the green light might not
flash immediately; it can take up to 10–15 minutes.
• If the rechargeable battery is low the red low charge
indicator light (e) is flashing for some seconds when
turning your toothbrush on/off.
• 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.

insides and finally the chewing surfaces. Brush all four
quadrants of your mouth equally. Do not press too hard,
simply let the brush do all the work. You may also consult
