Removing the rechargeable battery

Warning: Only remove the rechargeable battery when you
discard the appliance. Make sure the battery is completely
empty when you remove it.
Warning: Please note that this process is not reversible.
To remove the rechargeable battery, you need a towel or cloth, a
hammer and 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 Philips Sonicare toothbrush
and let it run until it stops. Repeat this step until you can no longer
turn on the Philips Sonicare toothbrush.
2 Remove and discard the brush head. Cover the entire handle with
a towel or cloth (Fig. 11).
3 Hold the top of the handle with one hand and strike the handle
housing 0.5 inch above the bottom end. Strike firmly with a
hammer on all 4 sides to eject the end cap (Fig. 12).
Note: You may have to hit on the end several times to break the
internal snap connections.
