Removing the rechargeable battery
Only remove the rechargeable battery when you discard the appliance.
Make sure the battery is completely empty when you remove it.
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, switch on the Sonicare and let it run until it stops.
Repeat this step until you can no longer switch on the Sonicare.

handle and switch counterclockwise to release the bottom cap
(Fig. 17).
3 Hold the handle upside down and push down on the shaft to
