Connecting and charging

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

• Plug the basic charger (f) or the assembled charging unit (picture A/B) 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 and then it turns off. A full charge enables up to seven days of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes) (picture 2).
  
  
• If the rechargeable battery is low the red low charge indicator light (e) is flashing for some seconds when turning your toothbrush off.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on the plugged-in 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
You can use any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching on the appliance. Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth surface. Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the outsides, then the insides, finally the chewing surfaces (picture 5). Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let the brush do all the work.
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.

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 (picture 1).
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.

Pressure Sensor
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 hear a different sound while brushing.

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.

Cleaning recommendations

After brushing, rinse your brush head or accessory for several seconds under running water with the handle switched on. Switch off the handle and remove the brush head or accessory. Rinse both parts separately under running water then wipe them dry before reassembling the toothbrush. Disassemble the charging unit before cleaning.
From time to time also clean the charging unit with a damp cloth (picture 6). Never place the charger in dishwasher or water. The brush head holder (g) is dishwasher-safe.
Subject to change without notice.
