brush head every 3 months or sooner if signs of wear appear.
- Use only Philips Sonicare brush heads.

Environment
- Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste
at the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for
recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the environment (Fig. 7).
- The built-in rechargeable batteries contain substances that may
pollute the environment. Always remove the batteries before you
discard and hand in the appliance at an official collection point.
Dispose of the batteries at an official collection point for batteries. If
you have trouble removing the batteries, you can also take the
appliance to a Philips service centre. The staff of this centre will
remove the batteries for you and will dispose of them in an
environmentally safe way (Fig. 8).
removing the rechargeable batteries
1 To deplete the rechargeable batteries of any charge, remove the
handle from the charger, switch on the toothbrush and
let it operate until it stops. Repeat this step until you can no longer
switch on the toothbrush.
2 Insert a flat-head (standard) screwdriver into the slot located at
the bottom of the handle. Turn the screwdriver anti-clockwise to
release the bottom cap (Fig. 9).
