WARNING
• Do not place the charger in water or liquid or store where it can fall or
be pulled into a tub or sink. Do not reach for it when fallen into water.
Unplug immediately.
• This appliance contains batteries that are non-replaceable. Do not
open and disassemble device. For battery recycling please dispose
whole device according to local environmental regulations. Opening
the handle will destroy the appliance and invalidate the warranty.
• When unplugging, always hold the power plug instead of the cord. Do
not touch the power plug with wet hands. This can cause an electric
shock.
• If you are undergoing treatment for any oral care condition, consult
your dental professional prior to use.
• This toothbrush is a personal care device and is not intended for use
on multiple patients in a dental practice or institution.
To avoid brush head breakage which may generate a small parts
choking hazard or damage teeth:
• Prior to each use, ensure the brush head fits well. Discontinue use of
the toothbrush, if brush head no longer fits properly. Never use without
a brush head.
• If the toothbrush handle is dropped, the brush head should be
replaced before the next use even if no damage is visible.
• Replace brush head every 3 months or sooner if brush head becomes
worn.
• Clean brush head properly after each use (see «Cleaning recommen-
dations» paragraph). Proper cleaning ensures the safe use and
functional life of the toothbrush.

Charging and Operating
Your toothbrush is electrically safe and designed for use in the bathroom.
• You may use your toothbrush right away or charge it briefly by placing
it on the plugged-in charger (g).
Note: In case the battery is empty (no charging light illuminated (e/f)
while charging or no reaction when pressing the on/off button (c)),
charge at least for 30 minutes.
• The green charge indicator light (e) flashes while the handle is being
charged. Once it is fully charged, the light turns off. A full charge
typically takes 12 hours and enables at least 2 weeks of regular
brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes) (picture 1).
Note: After deep discharge, the charge indicator light might not flash
immediately; it can take up to 30 minutes.
• If the battery is running low, the red charge indicator light (f) is flashing
for a few seconds when turning your toothbrush on/off
and the motor is reducing its speed. Once the battery is empty, the
motor will stop; it will need at least a 30-minute charge for one
usage.
• You can always store the handle on the plugged-in charging unit;
a battery overcharge is prevented by device.
Note: Store handle at room temperature for optimal battery
maintenance.
Caution: Do not expose handle to temperatures higher than 50 °C.
Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 5 °C to 35 °C.
Using your toothbrush
Brushing technique
Wet brush head and apply any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing,
guide the brush head to your teeth before switching on the appli-
ance (picture 2). When brushing your teeth with one of the Oral-B
oscillating-rotating brush heads guide the brush head slowly
from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth surface
(picture 5). When using the Oral-B «TriZone» brush head place the
toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle towards the
gumline. Apply light pressure and start brushing in back and forth
motions, just like you would do with a manual toothbrush.
With any brush head do not forget to brush all 3 surfaces of your teeth:
chewing, outer and inner surfaces. Brush all four quadrants of your
mouth equally. You may also consult your dentist or dental hygienist
about the right technique for you.
In the first days of using any electric toothbrush, your gums may bleed
slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days.
Should it persist after 2 weeks, please consult your dentist or dental
hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth and/or gums, Oral-B recommends
using the «Sensitive» mode (depending on model) (optional in
combination with an Oral-B «Sensitive» brush head).

How to switch between modes:

Switch off the toothbrush by holding the on/off button until the motor

Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to brush
all four quadrants of your mouth equally (picture 3). A long stuttering
sound indicates the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute
brushing time. If the toothbrush is turned off during brushing, the
elapsed brushing time will be memorised for 30 seconds. When
pausing longer than 30 seconds the timer resets.
Pressure sensor
If too much pressure is applied, the pressure sensor light (b)
(depending on model) will light up in red, notifying you to reduce
