Easy-start
- This Sonicare model comes with the Easy-start feature activated.

properly move through the Easy-start ramp-up cycle.
Deactivating or activating the Easy-start feature
1 Attach your brush head to the handle.
2 Place the handle on the plugged-in charger.

Press and hold the power on/off button for 2 seconds. You hear 1 beep to

- To activate Easy-start:
Press and hold the power on/off button for 2 seconds. You hear 2 beeps to

recommended and reduces Sonicare’s effectiveness in removing plaque.
Smartimer
The Smartimer indicates that your brushing cycle is complete when
it automatically turns off the toothbrush at the end of the brushing cycle.
