3 BEFORE FIRST USE Charge Sonicare - Charge for 24 hours before first use. Charge indicator flashes green until fully charged. Rapid yellow flashing indicates charge is extremely low (fewer than 3 uses left). Refer to “Traveling with your Sonicare” for additional charging methods. The charger is designed to properly charge only one (1) handle at a time. Do not place metallic objects in the charger glass as handle charging may be affected and may cause the charger to overheat.
4 USING YOUR SONICARE Brush - Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small back and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth. Do not scrub like a manual toothbrush. Apply light pressure to maximize Sonicare’s effectiveness and let the Sonicare do the brushing for you. The Quadpacer is an interval timer that has a short beep and pause to remind you to brush the 4 sections of your mouth.
5 GETTING USED TO YOUR SONICARE Easy-start - The Sonicare may feel ticklish upon first use. To help you ease into the Sonicare experience, the Easy-start feature will gradually increase the sonic power over the first 14 brushings. Brushing must last at least 1 minute to properly advance through this ramp-up cycle.
6 TRAVELING WITH YOUR SONICARE Charge via wall outlet - Place the handle in the charging travel case, plug the USB cord into the travel plug, and plug into an electrical outlet. The charge indicator on the handle flashes green until fully charged. Charge via USB - Remove the USB cord from the travel plug, and insert the USB plug into any USB port. Use Only Philips USB wall adapter and USB cable provided.
7 CLEANING YOUR SONICARE Cleaning - Clean the Sonicare periodically. Wipe down and rinse the entire surface with a soft cloth and mild soap, if desired. Do not use sharp objects to clean. Do not clean brush heads, handle, charging base, or travel charger in the dishwasher. Charger glass is top rack dishwasher safe.
8 STORING YOUR SONICARE Storing - If the Sonicare will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the charger, clean the product, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
9 PRODUCT LIFE Please note this process is not reversible - Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. Dispose of the battery at an official collection point for batteries. By doing this, you help to preserve the environment. Only remove the battery at the end of the product’s life - Doing so earlier will destroy the product. Observe basic safety precautions.
