WARNING
If the product is dropped, the brush head should be replaced
before the next use even if no damage is visible.
Do not place the charger in water or liquid or store where it can
fall or be pulled into a tub or sink. Do not reach for it when fallen
into water. Unplug immediately.
Do not disassemble the product except when disposing of the
battery. When taking out the battery for disposal of the unit, use

charging unit.
Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and
designed for use in the bathroom.
Plug the basic charger (g) or the assembled charging unit
(picture B/C) into an electrical outlet and place the toothbrush
handle (d) on the charging unit.
The green charge indicator light (e) flashes while the handle is
being charged. Once it is fully charged, the green charge
indicator light shines continuously for 5 seconds and then it turns
off. A full charge enables up to seven days of regular brushing
(twice a day, 2 minutes) (picture 1).
If the rechargeable battery is low the red low charge indicator light
(f) 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.
However, for environmental reasons, Oral-B recommends to
unplug the charger until the next recharge is required.
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.
Please note: If the charge indicator light is not flashing
immediately, continue charging. It will appear in 10–15 minutes.
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). When brushing your teeth with one of the
rotating brush heads guide the brush head slowly from tooth to
tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth surface.
When using the TriZone 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.
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 (picture 5).
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 (depending on model).
Brushing modes (depending on model)
«Daily Clean» Standard mode for daily mouth cleaning
«Sensitive» Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive areas
«Whitening» Exceptional polishing for occasional or everyday
use.
How to switch between modes:
When pressing the on/off button (c) your toothbrush automatically
starts in the «Daily Clean» mode.
To switch to the «Sensitive» and «Whitening» mode, successively
press the on/off button.
To turn off your toothbrush from the «Whitening» mode, press the
on/off button once more.
If you wish to turn off your toothbrush from the «Daily Clean» or
«Sensitive» mode, push and hold down the on/off button until the
motor stops.
Pressure Sensor
Helping protect your teeth and gums from hard brushing, your
toothbrush has a pressure control feature installed. If too much
pressure is applied, the red pressure sensor light (b) will light
reminding you to reduce pressure (picture 3). In addition you will
also hear a different sound while brushing. Periodically check the
operation of the pressure sensor by pressing lightly on the brush
head during use.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to
brush equally all four quadrants of your mouth (picture 4).
A long stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally
recommended 2-minute brushing time. The elapsed brushing time
is memorised, even when the handle is briefly switched off during
brushing. When pausing longer than 30 seconds the timer resets.
Brush heads
Oral-B offers you a variety of different brush heads that fit your
Oral-B toothbrush.
Oral-B Precision Clean brush head
cups each tooth with a curved bristle trim and reaches
deep between teeth at the same time.
