Removing the rechargeable battery

Please note that this process is not reversible.

To remove the rechargeable battery, you need a flat-head (standard) screwdriver. Observe basic safety precautions when you follow the procedure outlined below. Be sure to protect your eyes, hands, fingers, and the surface on which you work.

1To deplete the rechargeable battery of any charge, remove the handle from the charger, turn on the Sonicare and let it run until it stops. Repeat this step until you can no longer switch on the Sonicare.

2Insert a screwdriver into the slot located at the bottom of the handle and turn counterclockwise to release the bottom cap.

3Hold the handle upside down and push down on the shaft to release the internal components of the handle.

4Insert the screwdriver under the circuit board, next to the battery connections, and twist to break the connections. Remove the circuit board and pry the battery from the plastic carrier.

The rechargeable battery can now be recycled and the rest of the product discarded appropriately.
