Using your toothbrush

Brushing technique
Wet brush head and apply toothpaste; you can use
any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide
the brush head to your teeth before switching the
appliance on (c). Guide the brush head slowly from
tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth
surface. Start brushing the outsides, and then the
insides and finally the chewing surfaces (picture 3,
page 5). Brush all four quadrants of your mouth
equally.
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 gums, Oral-B recommends
using the «Sensitive» mode.
Timer
You can choose between «Professional» or
«2-Minute» timer and «Count up» or «Count down»
timer.
The «2-Minute» timer signals with four beeps and
a Smiley on the SmartGuide that the dentist recom-
mended 2-minute brushing time has been reached.
In addition the «Professional» timer signals with
short beep sounds at 30-seconds intervals to move
to the next quadrant of your mouth (45 seconds
intervals within «Deep Clean» mode) (picture 3,
page 5). A single beep indicates completion of the
first quadrant, two beeps the second one, three
beeps the third one and four beeps sound when you
reach the recommended 2-minute brushing time.
The timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time,
even when the handle is briefly switched off during
brushing. The timer resets if pausing longer than
30 seconds or briefly pressing the mode button (d)
during pause.
The «Count Up» timer displays your actual brush-
ing time. The «Count down» timer indicates the
remaining brushing time.
Personalizing the timer
Your toothbrush comes with the «Professional» and
«Count up» timer activated. To change this, press
and hold the brushing mode button for 3 seconds
until the SmartGuide shows «:30» and «timer».
Briefly press the on/off button to switch to the
«2-Minute» timer. Push the mode button to confirm.
The SmartGuide now shows «up» and «timer». Press
the on/off button to switch to the «Count down»
timer and confirm with the mode button. Leave the
setup menu by pressing the mode button.
