Introduction
►For your personal dental care
Thank you for purchasing the Panasonic Sonic Vibration Toothbrush.
The Sonic Vibration Toothbrush is a new kind of electric toothbrush designed for those who wish to keep their teeth clean and healthy. This appliance will enable you to maintain good dental hygiene, which is as important as other forms of personal hygiene.
►Sonic Vibration Toothbrush Technology
The Sonic Vibration Toothbrush incorporates the innovative motor technology that uses magnetic attraction and repulsion to provide outstanding performance. The brush’s 26,000 horizontal strokes per minute help remove plaque gently yet effectively.
►Before use
This high‑speed, vibrating, electric toothbrush is different from conventional electric toothbrushes.
Therefore:
•You only need to lightly press the bristles against your teeth for brushing.
•When first using this appliance, some may experience a tickling or tingling sensation caused by the high‑speed vibrations. The sensation should subside after you use the toothbrush several more times.
Cautions regarding use
•Be sure to switch off the appliance and remove the plug from a household outlet before performing any maintenance. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
•Cleaning and user maintenance should not be made by children.
•Keep the appliance away from children.
•Do not use the charger in the bath. Doing so may result in electric shock.
•Do not touch or pull out the plug with wet hands. Doing so may result in electric shock.
•If the power cord of the charger is damaged, the entire charger should be discarded. The charger should be replaced.
•Do not wrap the power cord around the charger.
•Always ensure the appliance is operated on an electric power source matched to its rated voltage. Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
•Clean the plug periodically so that dust does not accumulate in it. Such dust buildup may trap moisture over time and reduce the effectiveness of the insulation, thus resulting in overheating and fire.
•Do not modify, disassemble, or repair the appliance at any time except when disposing of it. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock, and/or burns.
•Do not place any metal objects, such as coins and clips, on the charger. Doing so may cause the objects to heat up, resulting in burns.
