Using your toothbrush
Brushing technique
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 (c). Guide the brush head slowly from
tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each
tooth surface. Start brushing the outsides, and
then the insides and finally the chewing surfaces
(picture 3, page 5). Brush all four quadrants of your
mouth equally.
In the first days of using any electric toothbrush,
your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding
should stop after a few days. Should it persist after
2 weeks, please consult your dentist or dental
hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth and gums,
Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» mode.
Timer
You can choose between «Professional» or
«2-Minute» timer and «Count up» or «Count down»
timer.
The «2-Minute» timer signals with four beeps and a
Smiley on the SmartGuide that the dentist recom-
mended 2-minute brushing time has been reached.
In addition the «Professional» timer signals with
short beep sounds at 30-seconds intervals to move
to the next quadrant of your mouth (45 seconds
intervals within «Deep Clean» mode) (picture 3,
page 5). A single beep indicates completion of the
first quadrant, two beeps the second one, three
beeps the third one and four beeps sound when you
reach the recommended 2-minute brushing time.
The timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time,
even when the handle is briefly switched off during
brushing. The timer resets if pausing longer than
30 seconds or briefly pressing the mode button (d)
during pause.
The «Count up» timer displays your actual brushing
time. The «Count down» timer indicates the remaining
brushing time.
Personalizing the timer
Your toothbrush comes with the «Professional» and
«Count up» timer activated. To change this, press
and hold the brushing mode button for 3 seconds
until the SmartGuide shows «:30» and «timer».
Briefly press the on/off button to switch to the
«2-Minute» timer. Push the mode button to confirm.
The SmartGuide now shows «up» and «timer». Press
the on/off button to switch to the «Count down»
timer and confirm with the mode button. Leave the
setup menu by pressing the mode button.

Pressure sensor
If you put excessive pressure on your teeth, the
red pressure sensor light (b) will light up (picture 3,
page 5). Additionally, when brushing in «Daily Clean»
or «Deep Clean» mode, the brushing mode will
change to the «Sensitive» mode. Periodically check
the operation of the pressure sensor by pressing
moderately on the brush head during use.
Brushing modes
Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes:
«Daily Clean» – Standard mode for daily
mouth cleaning
«Deep Clean» – Mouth cleaning with
extended brushing time of
45 seconds per quadrant
(3 minute total brushing time)
«Sensitive» – Gentle, yet thorough cleaning
for sensitive areas
«Whitening» – Polishing for occasional or
everyday use
«Massage» – Gentle massage of gums
Your toothbrush automatically starts in the «Daily
Clean» mode. To switch to the other modes, succes-
sively press the mode button (picture 4, page 5).
To return from any mode back to the «Daily Clean»
mode, press and hold the mode button.
The brushing mode is memorized even when the
handle is briefly switched off during brushing. When
pausing longer than 30 seconds or briefly pressing
the mode button (d) during pause the brushing
mode resets to the «Daily Clean» mode.
