Answer
You may need to recharge the Sonicare. Charge the Sonicare for

mirror cabinets over washbasins or shaver sockets in bathrooms
may be cut off when the light is switched off..

You may experience a slight tickling/tingling sensation when you
use Sonicare for the fi rst time. As you become accustomed to
brushing with the Sonicare, this sensation diminishes.
This is the Quadpacer feature reminding you to move to a new
section of your mouth. This feature enables you to spend equal
time brushing all areas of the mouth (see chapter 'Using the
Sonicare, section 'Brushing instructions').
To avoid this, keep the brush head properly oriented, with the
bristles placed on the gumline at a slight angle.
