Connecting and charging

The toothbrush is electrically safe and can be used in the bathroom without hesitation.

•Plug the charging unit into an electrical outlet. Place the handle on the charging unit.

•The charge indicator (d) flashes while the handle is being charged.

•When the handle is fully charged, the charge indicator lights permanently. A full charge takes at least 16 hours and provides an operation time of approximately 45 minutes.

•For everyday use, the handle can be stored on the plugged-in charging unit to maintain the toothbrush at full power. Overcharging is impossible.

Battery maintenance

To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery, unplug the charging unit and discharge the handle by regular use at least every 6 months.

Using the toothbrush

This product can be used with any leading brand of toothpaste.

To avoid splashing, guide the brush- head to your teeth before switching the appliance on.

Operating the switch

The toothbrush features two speed options, the lower speed being optimal for sensitive areas in the mouth (A).

•Press the switch to operate with normal speed,

•press a second time to operate with reduced speed,

•press a third time to switch the unit off.

Removing plaque

Guide the brushhead slowly from tooth to tooth. Hold the brushhead 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.

After every 30 seconds,

it signals by a very short stutter that it is time to move to the next quadrant. After two minutes – which is the recommended brushing time – the timer signals by a longer stutter.

Pressure Sensor

For safety and optimum brushing results, the toothbrush has a pres- sure control system:

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 the difference.

During the first few days of using the 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 hygienist.

INDICATOR® bristles

The INDICATOR® bristles help you monitor and improve your brushing performance. With proper brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the blue colour on the INDICATOR® bristles will disappear half-way down within 3-4 months, signaling it is time to change the brushhead (B).

Interspace brushhead (only with D 17 525 X model) The Interspace brushhead is designed for cleaning between teeth as well as around bridges, crowns and implants. To use, position brushhead at 45 degree angle to gumline.

Slowly guide the brushhead along the gumline, pausing between teeth for optimum results.

Replacement brushheads Available at your dealer or Oral-B Braun Service Centres.

Cleaning

•Rinse the brushhead thoroughly under running water for several seconds with the handle switched on (C).

•Switch off the appliance and remove the brushhead from the handle. Clean both parts separately under running water, then wipe them dry before you reassemble the brush and put the handle on the charging unit (D).

•From time to time, also clean the charging unit with a damp cloth.

•For cleaning purposes, the brushhead compartment is removable.
