Using your toothbrush
Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe
and is designed for use in the bathroom.
Plug the appliance into an electrical outlet and place the
toothbrush handle
3 on the charger base 1.
The green charge indicator
2 light flashes while the handle
is being charged. If you then use your brush and place it
back on the charger base, the green charging light will again
flash to let you know it is charging.
When the handle is fully charged, the green charge indicator
light shines continuously. A full charge takes at least
12 hours and enables approximately one week of regular
brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).
The red charge indicator
2 light starts blinking when the
rechargeable battery is low. Now it is time to recharge your
toothbrush.
For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on
the charger base to maintain it at full power. Overcharging is
impossible.
To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable
battery, refrain from placing the handle on the charger base
and fully discharge it through regular use at least every
6 months.
Brushing technique
Attach one of the brush heads to the handle. They can be
used with any kind of toothpaste.
To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth
before switching the appliance on
4.
Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth.
Hold the brush head in place for a few seconds before
moving on to the next tooth.
Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the outsides, then
the insides, finally the chewing surfaces.
Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let the brush do all
the work.
To thoroughly remove plaque, brush for at least two
minutes.
Pressure Sensor
For optimal brushing results Oral-B ProfessionalCare has a
pressure control feature to help you brush gently. This helps
protect your gums from excessive brushing and makes your
toothbrush easy to operate. If too much pressure is applied,
the oscillating movement of the brush head will continue but
the pulsation will stop. In addition to feeling it, you can also
hear a different sound.
