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.
1 To 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
turn on the Sonicare.
2 Insert a screwdriver into the slot in the bottom
of the handle and turn counterclockwise to
release the bottom cap.
3 Hold the handle upside down and push
down on the shaft to release the internal
components of the handle.
4 Insert 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 or
disposed of and the rest of the product discarded
appropriately.
