Connecting and charging

Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and designed for use in the bathroom.

• Plug the basic charger (g) or the assembled charging unit (picture B/C) into an electrical outlet and place the toothbrush handle (d) on the charging unit.
• The green charge indicator light (e) flashes while the handle is being charged, once it is fully charged, the green charge indicator light shines continuously for 5 seconds and then it turns off. A full charge enables up to seven days of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes) (picture 1).
  
• If the rechargeable battery is low the red low charge indicator light (f) is flashing for some seconds when turning your toothbrush off.
• 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 charger 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.

Using your toothbrush

Brushing technique

This brush is designed to work with all common brushing techniques. You can continue to use your current brushing technique, e.g. you can brush just like you would do with a manual toothbrush. You also may consult your dentist or dental hygienist about the right technique for you.
We recommend the following: Wet brush head and apply toothpaste (before switching the appliance on); you can use any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching the appliance on. You start and stop brushing by pressing the on/off button of the handle (picture 2).

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. Brush first the outsides, then the insides. Finally, brush the chewing surfaces with the same back and forth motion throughout the mouth (picture 5). Brush for 2 minutes. Please ensure that you brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally.

Brushing modes (depending on model)
«Daily Clean» – Standard mode for daily mouth cleaning
«Sensitive» – Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive areas
«Whitening» – Exceptional polishing for occasional or everyday use.

How to switch between modes:

• When pressing the on/off button (c) your toothbrush automatically starts in the «Daily Clean» mode.
• To switch to the «Sensitive» and «Whitening» mode, successively press the on/off button.
• To turn off your toothbrush from the «Whitening» mode, press the on/off button once more.
• If you wish to turn off your toothbrush from the «Daily Clean» or «Sensitive» mode, push and hold down the on/off button until the motor stops.

Pressure Sensor

Helping protect your teeth and gums from hard brushing, your toothbrush has a pressure control feature installed. If too much pressure is applied, the red pressure sensor light (b) will light reminding you to reduce pressure (picture 3). In addition you will also hear a different sound while brushing. Periodically check the operation of the pressure sensor by pressing lightly on the brush head during use.

Professional Timer

A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to brush equally all four quadrants of your mouth (picture 4).

A long stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute brushing time. The elapsed brushing time is memorised, even when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. When pausing longer than 30 seconds the timer resets.
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 (depending on model).
Oral-B brush heads feature light blue INDICATOR^® bristles to help you monitor brush head replacement need. With thorough brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the blue color will fade halfway down approximately in a 3-month period. If the bristles splay before the color recedes, you may exert too much pressure on teeth and gums.
We do not recommend using the Oral-B FlossAction or Oral-B 3DWhite brush head with braces. You may use the Oral-B Ortho brush head, specifically designed to clean around braces and wires.

Cleaning recommendations

After brushing, rinse your brush head or accessory carefully under running water for some seconds with the handle switched on. Switch off the handle and remove the brush head or accessory.
Clean both parts separately under running water then wipe them dry before reassembling the toothbrush. Disassemble charging unit before cleaning. Never place the charger in dishwasher or water; it should be cleaned with a damp cloth only. Brush head holder, brush head compartment and protective cover are dishwasher-safe (picture 6).

Subject to change without notice.
