Note: When the handle is placed in the charger
incorrectly, the charging light may still go on, but
charging does not take place.
Note: The handles of other Sonicare models do not fit
in this charger and therefore will not charge effectively.
Do not attempt to force a handle into this charger, as
this causes damage.
Battery charge indication (specific models
only)
When the battery runs low, you hear 5 beeps
after the 2-minute brushing cycle and the charging
light flashes rapidly. When you hear the low charge
indication, there are 3 or fewer 2-minute brushings
left.
Using the appliance
Brushing technique
Follow these simple steps to maximise your brushing
experience.
1 Before you switch on the Sonicare, place the
bristles of the brush head on your gumline at a
45-degree angle.
2 Hold the handle with a light grip and switch
on the Sonicare. Gently move the bristles in a
small circular motion so that the longer bristles
reach between your teeth. After a few seconds,
pass the bristles to the next section. Continue
this routine throughout the 2-minute brushing
cycle.
