Charging and Operating
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe
and designed for use in the bathroom.
• Plug the charger (e) or the assembled charging unit (f)
into an electrical outlet and place the toothbrush handle
(c) on the charger.
• The green charge indicator light (d) flashes while the
handle is being charged. Once it is fully charged, the light
turns off. A full charge typically takes 22 hours (picture 1).
Note: After deep discharge, the green light might not flash
immediately; it can take up to 10–15 minutes.
• If the rechargeable battery is low the red charge indicator
light (d) is flashing for some seconds when turning your
toothbrush on/off.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on
the charger to maintain it at full power. Overcharging is
impossible.
• 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.
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 switch-
ing on the appliance (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.
With any brush head start brushing the outsides, then the
insides and finally the chewing surfaces (picture 4). Brush all
four quadrants of your mouth equally (picture 3).
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/gums,
Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» mode (depending
on model) (optional in combination with an Oral-B «Sensitive
Clean» brush head).
Brushing modes (depending on model)
«Daily Clean» – Standard mode for daily mouth cleaning
«Sensitive»
