Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is
electrically safe and is designed for use in the
bathroom.
To assemble the base station (h) as charging
unit, detach the base plate (g) first (
1, page 3).
Place the charging ring into the base station
and attach the base plate as shown (
2 and 3,
page 3). Then insert the protective cover (i) on
the back of your base station (see diagram
4,
page 3).
• Plug the SmartPlug into an electrical outlet
and place the toothbrush handle (d) on the
charging unit. A battery symbol should appear
in the handle display (e). The battery symbol
will fill up while the handle is being charged.
Once the handle is fully charged, the battery
symbol is completely filled with four bars. A
full charge takes at least 12 hours to complete
and allows for approximately two weeks of
regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).
Please note: if the battery symbol is not
displayed immediately, continue charging. It
will appear in 10–15 minutes.
• When the rechargeable battery is low, the
battery symbol with one remaining bar starts
flashing. Your toothbrush will slow down
and then stop. When the battery is fully
discharged, the empty frame of the battery
symbol flashes. It will then need a 15-minute
charge before you can use it for a 2-minute
brushing.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can
be stored on the charging unit to maintain it at
full power. There is no risk of overcharging the
battery.
• To maintain the maximum capacity of the
rechargeable battery, unplug the charging unit
and fully discharge the handle by regular use
at least every 6 months.
For electric specifications, see printing on the
SmartPlug.
Personalizing the timer
You can choose between the «Professional» or
«2-Minute» timer and a «Count Up» or «Count
Down» timer to meet your specific needs.
The «2-Minute Timer» indicates by a long
stuttering sound and a «smiley» on the
SmartGuide display unit that the dentist
recommended 2-minute brushing time has been
reached. In addition, the «Professional Timer»
helps you brush all four quadrants of your
mouth equally. It signals with a short stuttering
sound at 30-second intervals and the «quadrant
circle» on the SmartGuide display unit that it is
time to move to the next quadrant of your
mouth.
Both timers memorize the elapsed brushing
time, even when the handle is briefly switched
off during brushing. Only when pausing longer
than 30 sec. the timer resets to the initial
starting point.
The «Count Up Timer» displays your actual
brushing time. The «Count Down Timer»
indicates the remaining brushing time. Starting
with «2:00» minutes, it goes down to «0:00».
When brushing longer than two minutes, it
automatically changes to the «Count Up Timer».
Your toothbrush comes with the «Professional
Timer» and the «Count Up Timer» activated. If
you wish to change these settings, proceed as
follows:
