manner, and brush your whole mouth in

►Strong pressure prevention function
Pressing the brush bristles too hard against your teeth will
activate this feature, causing the intensity of the vibration to be
weakened automatically as a safeguard against excessive
pressure.
►Precaution
•When you first begin using the toothbrush, you may
experience slight bleeding of the gums even though your gums
may be healthy. This is because your gums are receiving
stimulation by the toothbrush for the first time. The bleeding
should stop after one or two weeks of use. Bleeding that
persists for more than two weeks may be indication of an
abnormal condition of your gums, such as pyorrhea. In this
case, stop using the toothbrush and consult your dentist.
•Recommended ambient temperature for using is 5 - 35 °C
(41 - 95 °F).
•Do not allow hair products (e.g., gel or oil) or hand lotion to
come in contact with the unit as they may damage its surface.
