Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof
handle, is electrically safe and
designed for use in the bathroom.
• Plug the basic charger (f) into an
electrical outlet and place the
toothbrush handle (c) on the
charging unit.
• The green charge indicator light (d)
flashes while the handle is being
charged. Once it is fully charged,
the green charge indicator light
shines continuously for 5 seconds;
then it turns off. A full charge
enables up to seven days of regular
brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes)
(picture 1).
• When the rechargeable battery is
low, the red low charge indicator
light (e) starts flashing after turning
off the toothbrush.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush
handle can be stored on the
charging unit to maintain it at full
power. Overcharging is impossible.
However for environmental reasons,
Oral-B recommends to unplug the
charging unit until the next recharge
is required.
• To maintain the maximum capacity
of the rechargeable battery, unplug
the charging unit and fully discharge
the handle with regular use at least
every 6 months.
Please note: If the charge indicator
light is not flashing immediately,
continue charging. It will appear in
10–15 minutes.

For voltage specifications please refer

Using your toothbrush
Wet brush head (a) and apply
toothpaste; you can use any kind of
toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide
the brush head to your teeth before
switching on the appliance (b). Slowly
guide the brush head from tooth to
tooth, spending a few seconds on
each tooth surface. Brush both gums
and teeth; first the outsides, then
the insides and finally the chewing
surfaces (picture 4). Brush at least
2 minutes to thoroughly remove
plaque. Do not press too hard or scrub.
Turn off the handle by pressing the
on/off switch.
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. The elapsed brushing time is
memorised when the handle is briefly
switched off during brushing. When
pausing longer than 30 seconds the
timer resets.
Pressure Sensor
To promote optimal brushing your
toothbrush has a pressure control
feature installed. If too much pressure
is applied, the oscillating movement
of the brush head will continue but the
pulsation will stop. In addition you will
also hear a different sound while
brushing.
