Question Answer
Why doesn’t the Sonicare
toothbrush work?
You may need to recharge the Sonicare. Charge the Sonicare for
at least 24 hours.
Make sure that your Sonicare charger is plugged into a live
electrical outlet and not into an outlet controlled by a light switch.
You may need to reattach or replace the brush head.
Why do I feel a tickling sensation
when I use Sonicare?
You may experience a slight tickling/tingling sensation when you
use Sonicare for the rst time. As you become accustomed to
brushing with Sonicare, this sensation diminishes.
The brush head chatters against
my teeth. What can I do about
this?
To avoid this, keep the brush head properly oriented, with the
bristles placed on the gumline at a slight angle.
Why does the toothbrush seem
less powerful?
You may need to charge the Sonicare.
The Easy-start feature may be on. Deactivate the Easy-start feature
(See chapter ‘Features’).
You may need to replace your brush head.
Why doesn’t the personalised
brushing button work during
brushing?
You may have selected a brushing routine. If this is the case, the
Personalized brushing button is not active (See chapter ‘Using your
Sonicare’).
Why doesn’t the UV sanitizer
light go on?
You may need to plug the sanitizer into a live outlet.
You may need to shut the door of the sanitizer.
You may need to replace the UV light bulb (see chapter
‘Replacement’).
Why does the toothbrush seem to
lose power during brushing?
You may be in the Max Care brushing routine. If this is the case,
the routine alternates between the Clean and Massage modes
throughout the 3-minute brushing cycle. The Clean and Massage
modes have a different sound and brush movement.
Do I need a special charger if I
travel with my Sonicare?
Travel tip: the Sonicare charger and the UV sanitizer can be used
with common worldwide voltages between 100-240V AC, at
either 50 or 60Hz. A simple plug adapter is all that is required.
