1To charge the Sonicare, place the handle properly in the charger with

the on/off button facing towards the front of the charger.

Make sure the bottom of the handle sits back securely in the charger so that it makes complete contact.

,When the handle is placed incorrectly in the charger, the charging light may still go on, but charging does not take place.

The handles of other Sonicare models do not fit in this charger

and therefore will not charge effectively. Do not attempt to force a handle into this charger, as this will cause damage.
