◗ Keep the charger away from water! Do not place or store it over

or near water contained in a bathtub, washbasin, sink etc. Do not

immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.

◗ Never use the charger if it is damaged or if the cord or plug is

damaged. If the charger, the cord or the plug is damaged, always

have the charger replaced by one of the original type in order to

avoid a hazard.

◗ Do not use the toothbrush in the bath or shower.

◗ Only use the charger supplied.

◗ Close supervision is necessary when this product is used by or on

children or the disabled.

◗ If you have had oral or gum surgery in the previous 2 months,

consult your dentist before using the toothbrush.

◗ Consult your dentist if excessive bleeding occurs after using this

toothbrush or if bleeding continues to occur after 1 week of use.

◗ The Sonicare toothbrush complies with the safety standards for

electromagnetic devices. If you have a pacemaker or other

implanted device, consult your doctor or the manufacturer of the

implanted device if you have any questions about using the

Sonicare.

◗ Do not use other brush heads than the ones recommended by

the manufacturer.

◗ Replace the brush head every 6 months or sooner if signs of wear

appear, such as crushed or bent bristles.

ENGLISH

◗ Supervise children when they are brushing until they have

established good brushing habits.

◗ If your toothpaste contains peroxide, baking soda or bicarbonate

(common in whitening toothpastes), thoroughly clean the brush

head with soap and water after each use.

◗ Do not use the charger outdoors.

Preparing for use

Store excess cord by winding it round the cord storage hooks

in the bottom of the charger.

Attaching the brush head

Align the front of the brush head with the front of the

toothbrush handle. Match the bars on the brush head with the

notches inside the top of the handle and slide the brush head

onto the handle.

Screw the brush head nut clockwise until it is firmly tightened.

If the brush head rattles during use, tighten the nut further.

Remove the travel cap from the brush head before you start

brushing.

Charging

Charge the Sonicare for at least 24 hours during the first few days of

use.

We advise you to keep the Sonicare in the plugged-in charger when

not in use to maintain a full battery charge.When the battery is empty,

it takes at least 24 hours to fully charge the Sonicare.

Make sure the bottom of the handle sits back securely in the

charger, making complete contact.

ENGLISH

◗ The handles of other Sonicare models do not fit in this charger

and will therefore not charge effectively. Do not attempt to force

a handle into this charger, as this will cause damage.

Battery-low indicator

◗ When the battery is running low, you will hear 3 beeps after the

Smartimer has switched off the toothbrush and the bottom LED

blinks yellow for 30 seconds.

When you see and hear the battery-low indication, 3 or fewer

2-minute brushings remain.

Keep the Sonicare in the plugged-in charger when not in use to

maintain a full battery charge.

Multiple-LED charge indicator

◗ When the handle is placed in the charger, the green charge

indicator LEDs blink in a rising pattern as the battery charges.

The number of blinking LEDs indicates the level to which the

battery has been charged.

When the battery is fully charged, the LEDs stop blinking and start

burning continuously.About once a minute, the charge indicator LEDs

go out briefly and then go on again.This indicates that the battery is

being maintained at full charge.The full-charge indication will persist

until the handle is removed from the charger.

Using the appliance

Useful tips

◗ Place the brush head in your mouth before switching the

appliance on and keep your mouth closed during brushing to

prevent splattering of toothpaste.

◗ Rinse the brush head and bristles after each use.

◗ Clean the brush head weekly, including under the nut.

◗ A fully charged Sonicare allows you brush your teeth for

2 minutes twice a day for approximately 2 weeks without

charging, making it easy to travel without the charger.

Brushing technique

Before switching the Sonicare on, place the bristles of the

brush head on your gumline at a 45-degree angle.

45º

Hold the handle with a light grip, switch the Sonicare on and

gently move the bristles in a small circular motion so that the

longer bristles reach between your teeth.After a few seconds,

pass the bristles to the next section. Continue this routine

ENGLISH

To maximise the effectiveness of the Sonicare toothbrush, use

light pressure and let the Sonicare do the brushing for you.

Do not scrub.

To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide

your mouth into 4 sections: outside upper teeth, inside upper

teeth, outside lower teeth and inside lower teeth. Begin brushing

the first section (outside upper teeth) and brush for 30 seconds

before moving to the next section (inside upper teeth). Continue

brushing the other two sections for 30 seconds each until you

have completed the 2-minute brushing cycle.

After the 2-minute brushing cycle, you can switch the Sonicare

briefly back on again to brush the chewing surfaces of your

teeth.

Press the on/off button to switch the Sonicare on or off as

needed.

◗ You can also brush your tongue with the toothbrush switched on

or off, as you prefer.

Tips for specific oral care needs

◗ Stain removal

In areas where staining occurs, spend extra brushing time to help

remove the stains.

◗ Braces

_45
ºC

Place the brush head at a 45-degree angle between the brackets and

the gumline. Using light pressure, gently move the bristles in a small

circular motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth for

2 seconds.Then gently roll the brush handle so the bristles clean the

bracket and the rest of the tooth before you pass the bristles to the

next tooth. Continue this until you have brushed all your teeth. Please

note that brush heads will wear out sooner when used on braces.

◗ Dental restorations

Use Sonicare on dental restorations (such as implants, caps, crowns,

bridges and fillings) as you would on your normal tooth surfaces to

reduce plaque build-up and improve gum health.Work the bristles

around all areas of the restoration for thorough cleaning.

◗ Periodontal pockets

Your dentist or dental hygienist may have indicated that you have

periodontal pockets, deep pockets where plaque bacteria collect. If this

is the case, after you have completed the 2-minute brushing cycle,

spend extra time gently brushing these areas to improve your gum

health.

Features

Easy-start

◗ All Sonicare models come with the Easy-start feature activated,

which helps you get used to brushing with the Sonicare.

◗ The brushing power will gently increase to full power over the

first 14 brushings.

◗ The Easy-start feature is active if you hear 2 beeps immediately

after switching on the Sonicare. Once the Sonicare has reached

optimal brushing power (after the 14th brushing), you will no

longer hear the 2 beeps at the beginning of each brushing cycle.

Note: each of the first 14 brushings must be at least 1 minute long to

properly move through the Easy-start ramp-up cycle.

To deactivate or activate the Easy-start feature:

Attach the brush head to the handle.

Place the handle in the plugged-in charger.

To deactivate the Easy-start feature, press and hold the on/off

button for 5 seconds.You will hear 1 beep to indicate that the

Easy-start feature has been deactivated.

To activate the Easy-start feature, press and hold the on/off

button for 5 seconds.You will hear 2 beeps to indicate that the

Easy-start feature has been activated.

Using the Easy-start feature beyond the initial ramp-up period is not

recommended and reduces Sonicare's effectiveness in removing

plaque.

The Easy-start feature should be deactivated when Sonicare is used in

clinical trials.

Smartimer

◗ All Sonicare models come with the Smartimer feature, which

automatically sets the brushing time to the 2 minutes

recommended by dentists and dental hygienists.

◗ After 2 minutes the Smartimer automatically switches the

toothbrush off.

◗ If you wish to stop brushing briefly during a 2-minute brushing

cycle, press the on/off button.When you press the on/off button

again, the Smartimer will resume the brushing cycle at the point

where you stopped.

ENGLISH

The Smartimer will automatically reset to the beginning of a 2-minute

cycle if:

- you stop brushing for 30 seconds or longer;

- you put the handle in the charger.

Quadpacer\

◗ The Quadpacer 30-second interval timer ensures that you brush

all sections of your mouth evenly and thoroughly.At 30, 60 and

90 seconds, you will hear a short beep and a pause in brushing

action.This is your signal to start brushing the next section of

your mouth.

Programmable Quadpacer (specific types only)

The Programmable Quadpacer offers you the option of customising

the Quadpacer in 1 of 3 ways:

◗ You may choose to keep the default setting of a 2-minute brushing

time with the Quadpacer activated.

◗ You may choose to extend the brushing time by 30 seconds to

2.5 minutes with the Quadpacer activated.

◗ You may choose a 2-minute brushing time with the Quadpacer

deactivated.

To change the Quadpacer setting:

Place the handle in the plugged-in charger.

Press the Dual Speed Control button briefly and note which

LED lights up.

Press and hold the Dual Speed Control button. Continue to

hold the button while the LEDs slowly cycle through the

Quadpacer settings:

(default setting).

10 ENGLISH

◗ The top LED burns green: 2.5-minute Quadpacer is active.

◗ The bottom LED burns yellow: the Quadpacer not active.

To select the desired setting, release the button when the LED

corresponding to your choice lights up.

Note: selecting the 2.5-minute Quadpacer reduces the number of

brushings available from a fully charged battery.

Dual Speed Control

The Dual Speed Control feature allows you to choose between 2 speed

settings: normal speed ('Max') for optimum brushing performance or

reduced speed ('Gentle') when an even more gentle brushing action is

desired.

Each time you switch the Sonicare on, it will begin brushing at the

normal speed setting.

To switch from normal to reduced speed, press the Dual Speed

Control button once during brushing.

To switch from reduced to normal speed, press the Dual Speed

Control button a second time during brushing.

A distinctive two-tone beep indicates that the speed setting has been

changed.

We advise you to brush at the normal speed setting to maintain

optimal results.

When the Sonicare is used in clinical trials, the normal speed setting

should be selected.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning guarantees the best performance and a long life for

your appliance.

Rinse the brush head and bristles after each use. Let the brush

head air-dry only.

local Philips Customer Care Centre or online at www.philips.com.

Problem

Solution

The Sonicare toothbrush does not work

You may need to recharge the Sonicare. Charge it for at least 24 hours.

Make sure the socket is live when you recharge the appliance.The

electricity supply to sockets in mirror cabinets over washbasins or

shaver sockets in bathrooms may be cut off when the light is switched

off.

You may need to reattach or replace the brush head.

I feel a tickling sensation when I use the

Sonicare.

You may experience a slight tickling/tingling sensation when using the

Sonicare for the first time.As you become accustomed to brushing

with the Sonicare, this sensation will diminish.

The brush head rattles when I use the

Sonicare.

The Sonicare should produce a gentle hum during operation.Tightening

the brush head nut can eliminate excessive rattling. If the rattling does

not stop, you may need to replace the brush head. Make sure you

remove the travel cap before switching the appliance on.

The brush head chatters against my teeth.

Brushing seems less powerful.

You can avoid this by keeping the brush head properly oriented, with

the brush head placed on the gumline at an angle of 45 degrees.

You may need to recharge the Sonicare.

The Easy-start feature may be active and needs to be deactivated (see

chapter 'Features').

You may need to clean the brush head.

You may need to replace your the head.

The Dual Speed Control button may be set to reduced speed. Set the

button to normal speed.

The Sonicare gives off an unpleasant smell.

You may need to clean the appliance. Clean the handle, brush head and

charger thoroughly (see chapter 'Cleaning').

You may need to replace the brush head.

The yellow LED blinks.What does this mean? The blinking yellow LED indicates that fewer than 3 brushings remain.

Recharge the Sonicare for at least 24 hours.

The appliance has an extra 30 seconds of

brushing time.What is this for?

The Programmable Quadpacer has been set to a 2.5-minute brushing

cycle instead of the default 2-minute brushing cycle.This setting

provides additional time for brushing troublesome areas where plaque

collects and gum disease starts.We advise you to use the extra

30 seconds of brushing time to rebrush troublesome areas, massage

your gums or brush your tongue (see chapter 'Features').
