Connecting and charging

Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and designed for use in the bathroom.

Plug the charger (f) into an electrical outlet and place the toothbrush on there. For voltage specifications refer to the bottom of the charging unit.

The green charge indicator light (d) flashes while the handle is being charged. Once it is fully charged, the green charge indicator light shines continuously for 5 seconds; then it turns off. A full charge takes at least 17 hours and enables approximately one week of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).

When the rechargeable battery is low, the red low charge indicator light (e) starts flashing after turning off the toothbrush.

For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on the charging unit to maintain it at full power; there is no risk of over- charging. However for environmental reasons, Oral-B recommends to unplug the charging unit until the next recharge is required.

Please note: If the charge indicator light is not flashing immediately, continue charging. It will appear in 10–15 minutes.

Using the toothbrush

Wet brush head and apply toothpaste; you can use any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching the appliance on. Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth surface. Start brushing the outsides, then the insides, finally the chewing surfaces (see picture 4, page 2). Brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally.

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.

Professional Timer

A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally (see picture 3, page 2). A long stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute
