First use

Please wake up your toothbrush by pressing the on/off button (7) and follow the instructions on the interactive display (4) to get started for first time setup.
If not further instructed on the display, you may toggle with the mode button (8) and select with the on/off button (7).
You may change the settings via the «Settings» menu (15) at any time.

Charging and Operating

• To charge the battery place the toothbrush on the plugged-in charger (6).
• The charge level is indicated on the interactive display (4). Once it is fully charged the display turns off. A full charge typically takes 3 hours.
• If the battery is running low the motor reduces its speed and the Smart Pressure Sensor (3) shortly blinks in red. Once the battery is empty, the motor stops; it will need at least a 5-minute charge for one usage.

Note: In case the battery is empty (display off), charge for at least 30 minutes.

• You can always store the handle on the plugged-in charger to maintain it at full charge; a battery overcharge is prevented by the device.

Note: Store handle at room temperature for optimal battery maintenance.

Do not expose handle to temperatures higher than 50°C / 122°F.

Using your device

Start Brushing

Prepare the handle according to the separate

Cleaning and Disinfection Manual for Dental Professionals. Make sure to always use a new refill out of an undamaged single brush head blister pack.

• Lift the toothbrush off the plugged-in charger (6) or simply pick it up to wake up the handle (display turns on).
• Slide handle into a new protective sheath as described in the separate Disinfection and Handling Manual for Dental Professionals. Remove back paper and close the sheath at the bottom.
• Place a new brush head (1) onto the handle (5). A small gap should remain between handle and brush head.
• Wet brush head and apply any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to teeth before switching the handle on by pressing the on/off button (7).

Note: Display turns off after 20 seconds. You may press the on/off button to activate display again.

• Advise your patients to do the following: Guide the brush head from tooth to tooth brushing the outsides, the insides and the chewing surfaces. Brush all four quadrants of the mouth equally. You may also advise your patients on the right brushing technique.
• After Brushing, the display gives feedback based on the brushing time.

In the first days of using any electric toothbrush, gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. For sensitive teeth and/or gums, Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» mode.

Timer
The timer signals with a short stuttering sound at 30-seconds intervals to move to the next quadrant of your mouth. A long stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute brushing time.
The timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time, even when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. The timer resets if pausing longer than 30 seconds or placing the handle on the plugged-in charger.

Note: During the use of the Oral-B App, the timer may be deactivated for some features.

Note: You may also customize the timer settings via Oral-B App.

Smart Pressure Sensor features

This toothbrush is equipped with a Smart Pressure Sensor (3) that has various functionalities indicated via different colours of light:
White (default) = Operating indicator (choose individual colour via Oral-B App (b)) / Low pressure indicator
Red = high pressure indicator / low battery indicator
Green = recommended pressure indicator
Blue = Bluetooth pairing indicator
Orange = Error indicator (follow display messages)

Brush with the right pressure indicated with a green light. If too much pressure is applied, it lights up in red reminding you to reduce pressure. If the Smart Pressure Sensor illuminates in white (or your pre-selected colour), we recommend applying more pressure.
During high pressure the brush head movement will be reduced (in «Daily Clean», «Intense» and «Sensitive» modes). Periodically check the operation of the Smart Pressure Sensor by pressing moderately on the brush head during use.

Note: During the use of the Oral-B App, the Smart Pressure Sensor feedback may be inactive for some features.
