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 (see 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 takes at least 17 hours and enables approximately one week of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes), (see picture 1).
  
• When the rechargeable battery is low, the red low charge indicator light (f) starts flashing after turning off your toothbrush.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on the charging unit to maintain it at full power. Overcharging is impossible. H owever 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.

Specifications
For voltage specifications refer to the bottom of the charging unit.

Using your toothbrush

You can use any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching on the appliance (see picture 2). 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. Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let the brush do all the work (see picture 5).

Brushing modes (depending on model)

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, push 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
Protecting 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 (see 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 all four quadrants of your mouth equally (see picture 4).
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.

Individual brush heads and accessories

Your Braun Oral-B Professional Care offers you a variety of brush heads and accessories, allowing you to select those, which best meet your individual needs.

1. Braun Oral-B Floss Action brush head (model D20.535.3)
   The Braun Oral-B Floss Action brush head features outstanding oscillating-rotating action to effectively clean your teeth, clean along the gumline and in hard-to-reach areas such as behind teeth.
   
2. Braun Oral-B Precision Clean brush head (model D20.514.2N)
   The Oral-B Precision Clean brush head provides effective and gentle cleaning action to help protect both teeth and gums. The brush head cups each tooth with a curved bristle trim and reaches deep between teeth at the same time.
   
3. Braun Oral-B Pro White brush head (model D20.535.3)
   The Braun Oral-B Pro White brush head is specifically designed to polish and naturally whiten your teeth by removing surface stains that can come from coffee, tea and tobacco.
   It features the oscillating-rotating head action of the Braun Oral-B Precision Clean brush head to effectively clean teeth, combined with the special polishing cup for natural brightening.
   Children under 12 years old should not use the Braun Oral-B Pro White brush head.
   All brush heads feature 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 approximately within 3 months, signalling it is time to change the brush head.
   
4. Braun Oral-B Tongue Freshener (model D20.535.3)
   The Tongue Freshener helps freshen breath. It is designed to help remove oral malodor and can be used everyday – before or after brushing. You can use mouthwash with the Tongue Freshener. Attach it to the handle, turn the appliance on and drag it across the tongue from back to front. We recommend using the «Sensitive» mode for enhanced control during use. Rinse after use. Replace the Tongue Freshener when the material becomes worn.
   

Braun Oral-B Professional Care replacement brush heads and accessories are available in stores that sell Oral-B products.
In the first few 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).

Cleaning recommendations
