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

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

Battery-low indicator

◗ When the battery is running low, you will hear 3 beeps after the

Smartimer has switched off the toothbrush and the bottom LED
blinks yellow for 30 seconds.

When you see and hear the battery-low indication, 3 or fewer
2-minute brushings remain.
Keep the Sonicare in the plugged-in charger when not in use to
maintain a full battery charge.

Multiple-LED charge indicator

◗ When the handle is placed in the charger, the green charge

indicator LEDs blink in a rising pattern as the battery charges.
The number of blinking LEDs indicates the level to which the
battery has been charged.

When the battery is fully charged, the LEDs stop blinking and start
burning continuously. About once a minute, the charge indicator LEDs
go out briefly and then go on again.This indicates that the battery is
being maintained at full charge.The full-charge indication will persist
until the handle is removed from the charger.

Using the appliance

Useful tips

◗ Place the brush head in your mouth before switching the

appliance on and keep your mouth closed during brushing to
prevent splattering of toothpaste.

◗ Rinse the brush head and bristles after each use.
◗ Clean the brush head weekly, including under the nut.
◗ A fully charged Sonicare allows you brush your teeth for

2 minutes twice a day for approximately 2 weeks without
charging, making it easy to travel without the charger.

Brushing technique

Before switching the Sonicare on, place the bristles of the

brush head on your gumline at a 45-degree angle.

Hold the handle with a light grip, switch the Sonicare on and

gently move the bristles in a small circular motion so that the
longer bristles reach between your teeth.After a few seconds,
pass the bristles to the next section. Continue this routine
throughout the 2-minute brushing cycle.
