Follow these simple steps to maximize your brushing experience.

1Before turning the Sonicare on, place the bristles of the brush head on your gumline at a 45-degree angle.

2Hold the handle with a light grip, turn the Sonicare on, and glide the brush across your teeth.

3To maximize Sonicare's effectiveness use light pressure and let the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do not scrub.

4To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections: outside top, inside top, outside bottom and inside bottom teeth. Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving to section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue brushing for 30 seconds in each section progressing through all 4 sections until you've brushed for 2 minutes.

5After the 2-minute brushing cycle is complete, additional time should be spent brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth.

Press the power button to turn the brush on and off as needed. To clean your mouth more completely, you may also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer.

Features

Easy-start\brushing power ramp-up

◗All Sonicare models come with the Easy-start feature activated (on), which helps you get used to brushing with Sonicare.

◗Brushing power will gently increase to full power over the first 12 brushings.

◗The Easy-start feature is active if you hear 2 beeps immediately after turning on your Sonicare. Once you reach optimal brushing power (after the 12th brushing), you will no longer hear the double beep at the beginning of your brushing routine.

◗Note: each of the first 12 brushings must be at least 1 minute in length to properly move through the Easy-start ramp-up cycle.

To turn off or reactivate the Easy-start feature:

1Attach your brush head to the handle.

2Place the handle in a plugged-in charger base.
