C 1 To charge your Sonicare, place the handle in the charger base with the Sonicare logo facing towards you to ensure the handle properly fits (slots) in the charger. Once the handle is placed in the charger base, the power button light should illuminate or blink to indicate charging is taking place.
Do not attempt to force the handle into the charger; this will cause damage.
Older model Sonicare handles without the slotting feature will not fit in this new charger base and do not charge effectively. Do not attempt to force a handle without the slotting feature into this charger base, as this will cause damage.
◗Sonicare handles with the slotting feature can be charged effectively in most older Sonicare charger bases. (Note; these handles are not compatible with charger model
It is recommended that you keep your Sonicare in the charger base when not in use to maintain a full battery charge. After the initial charging period, it takes 15 hours charging time to reach full charge level.There is no need to periodically discharge handle.
Using the appliance
Useful tips
◗Gel toothpastes are recommended for optimal product performance.
◗Place the brush head in your mouth before turning on your Sonicare and keep your mouth closed during brushing, otherwise toothpaste may splatter.
◗You may experience a slight tickling or tingling sensation when using an electronic toothbrush such as Sonicare for the first time. As you become accustomed to brushing with Sonicare this sensitivity will diminish.
◗A fully charged Sonicare will provide approximately 2 weeks of typical use (2 minutes of brushing twice a day), making it easy to take your Sonicare along without the charger.
Remember that voltage converters and plug adapters DO NOT guarantee voltage compatibility. Always check for voltage compatibility.
