Getting started
Installing or replacing batteries

3 Firmly push the battery compartment cap back
onto the handle (Fig. 4).
Attaching the brush head
1 Align the front of the brush head with the front of
the toothbrush handle.
2 Push the brush head onto the shaft. (Fig. 5)
User ID sticker
If you have multiple Sonicare battery toothbrushes
in your home, you can attach the white or silver
sticker to the battery cap. This helps you identify your
handle. (Fig. 6)
Using your Sonicare
1 Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of
toothpaste.
2 Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a
slight angle towards the gumline (Fig. 7).
3 Hold the handle with a light grip and turn on the
Sonicare. Gently move the brush head slowly across
the teeth in a small back and forth motion so the
longer bristles reach between your teeth. Continue
this motion throughout your 2-minute brushing
cycle.
4 To maximize effectiveness, apply only light pressure
and let the toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do
not scrub.
5 To make sure you brush evenly throughout the
mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections: outside
top, inside top, outside bottom and inside bottom
teeth. Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top
teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving to
section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue brushing in
section 3 (outside bottom teeth) and brush for 30
seconds before moving to section 4 (inside bottom
teeth) for a total brushing time of 2 minutes (Fig. 8)
6 After you have completed the 2-minute brushing
cycle, you can spend additional time brushing the
chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas where
staining occurs. You may also brush your tongue,
with the toothbrush turned on or off, as you
prefer (Fig. 9).
Your Sonicare is safe to use on:
Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on
braces)
Dental restorations (llings, crowns, veneers)
Features
Smartimer 2-minute timer
After 2 minutes, the Smartimer automatically turns

cycle, press the power button. Press the power
button within 30 seconds and the Smartimer picks
up where you left off.

The battery indicator shows the amount of power left in
the batteries.

minute brushings available (Fig. 10).
Flashing green light indicates there are less than 16
brushings available.

indicate that there are less than 4 two-minute
brushings available.
Note: The number of brushings you get from new batteries
may vary depending on the type of batteries you use.

immediately shut off to indicate it is time to replace
batteries.

the batteries, clean the appliance and store it in a cool
