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.

Power supply: see bottom of charging unit

Handle voltage: 1.2 V

Using the toothbrush

You can use any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching on the appliance. Guide the brush head 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 and finally the chewing surfaces (1). Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let the brush do all the work.

Pressure Sensor

To promote optimal brushing your toothbrush has a pressure control feature installed. If too much pressure is applied, the oscillating movement of the brush head will continue but the pulsation will stop. In addition you will also hear a different sound while brushing.

Professional Timer

A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to brush equally all four quadrants of your mouth. 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 for longer than 30 seconds the timer resets.

In the first days of using the toothbrush, your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist after two weeks, please consult your dentist or dental hygienist.

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 Precision Clean brush head

The Advanced Bristle System of the Braun Oral-B Precision

Clean brush head removes plaque and cleans deep between teeth and below the gum line.

2 Braun Oral-B Pro White brush head

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

7

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 two 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 (2a–2c).

Braun Oral-B Professional Care replacement brush heads and accessories are available in stores that sell Oral-B products.

Cleaning

After use, rinse the brush head for several seconds under running water with the handle switched on. Then switch off the handle and remove the brush head. Rinse both parts separately under running water (3) and wipe them dry. From time to time, also clean the charging unit with a damp cloth (4).
