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 (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
enables up to 7 days of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).
• If the rechargeable battery is low the red low charge indicator light (f)
is flashing for some seconds when turning your toothbrush on/off.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on the
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 techniques
Wet brush head and apply toothpaste; you can use any kind of
toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth
before switching the appliance on.
When brushing your teeth with one of our rotating brush heads, guide
the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on
each tooth surface (picture 5).
When using our TriZone brush heads place the toothbrush bristles
against the teeth at a slight angle towards the gumline. Apply light
pressure and start brushing in back and forth motions, just like you
would do with a manual toothbrush.
With all brush heads start brushing the outsides, then the insides and
finally the chewing surfaces. Brush all four quadrants of your mouth
equally.
You may also consult your dentist or dental hygienist about the right
technique for you.
Brushing modes (depending on model)
Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes:
«Daily Clean» – Standard mode for daily mouth cleaning
«Sensitive» – Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive areas
«Polish» – Exceptional polishing for occasional or everyday use
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 «Polish» mode, successively press
the on/off button.
• To turn off your toothbrush from the «Polish» mode, press 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.
Most of our 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 indicating that
need to exchange your brush head to maintain a high level of plaque
removal. If the bristles splay before the color recedes, you may exert
too much pressure on teeth and gums.
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.
