Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and
designed for use in the bathroom.
• Plug the basic charger (f) or the assembled charging unit
(picture A/B) into an electrical outlet and place the toothbrush
handle (c) on the charging unit.
• The green charge indicator light (d) flashes while the handle
is being charged. Once it is fully charged, the green charge
indicator light shines continuously for 5 seconds and then it
turns off. A full charge enables up to seven days of regular
brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes) (picture 2).
• If the rechargeable battery is low the red low charge indicator
light (e) is flashing for some seconds when turning your
toothbrush off.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on the
plugged-in charging unit to maintain it at full power.
Overcharging is impossible. However, for environmental
reasons, Oral-B recommends to unplug the charger until the
next recharge is required.
• To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery,
unplug the charging unit and fully discharge the handle with
regular use at least every 6 months.
Please note: If the charge indicator light is not flashing
immediately, continue charging. It will appear in 10–15 minutes.
Using your toothbrush
Brushing technique
You can use any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the
brush head to your teeth before switching on the appliance.
Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few
seconds on each tooth surface. Brush the gums as well as the
teeth, first the outsides, then the insides, finally the chewing
surfaces (picture 5). Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let the
brush do all the work.
In the first days of using any electric toothbrush, your gums may
bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days.
Should it persist after 2 weeks, please consult your dentist or
dental hygienist.
Oral-B brush heads feature light blue INDICATOR
help you monitor brush head replacement need. With thorough
brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the blue color will fade
halfway down approximately in a 3-month period. If the bristles
splay before the color recedes, you may exert too much pressure
on teeth and gums (picture 1).
We do not recommend using the Oral-B FlossAction or Oral-B
3DWhite brush head with braces. You may use the Oral-B Ortho
brush head, specifically designed to clean around braces and wires.
Pressure Sensor
Your toothbrush has a pressure control feature installed. If too
much pressure is applied, the oscillating movement of the brush
head will continue but the pulsation will stop. In addition you will
hear a different sound while brushing.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to
brush equally all four quadrants of your mouth (picture 4).
A long stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally
recommended 2-minute brushing time. The elapsed brushing
