The Sonicare app pairs with your toothbrush to provide you a connected experience. To start using the Sonicare app:

1. Download the Sonicare app to your phone.
2. Ensure your phone’s Bluetooth is turned on.
3. Pick up your toothbrush to ensure it is active (lights on).
4. Open the app and follow the steps.
5. Pair your toothbrush with the app.
6. Create your account via the app. Complete firmware update, if prompted, to access the latest improvements and features.
7. Brush regularly with your toothbrush connected to the app. When you regularly sync the toothbrush with the app, you will receive updates to help improve your oral healthcare.
8. Sync regularly.
9. Keep your phone close to your toothbrush for optimal data transfer.

To sync manually: Pair/connect your toothbrush with the app every two weeks to benefit from the app features/capabilities.

To sync automatically: Allow location permission while setting up the app. By allowing location permission, your phone knows when it is in the connection range of your toothbrush and can refresh your brushing data in the app to provide the latest insights and recommendations.

1. Align the brush head so the bristles point in the same direction as the front of the handle.
2. Firmly press the brush head down onto the metal shaft until it will not go any further.

Note: It is normal to see a slight gap between the brush head and the handle.

1. Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
2. Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle (45 degrees). Pressing firmly to make the bristles reach the gumline or slightly beneath the gumline. Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the teeth at all times.
3. Press the power on/off button to switch on the Philips Sonicare.
4. Gently keep the bristles placed on the teeth and in the gumline. Brush your teeth with small back and forth motion so the bristles reach between the teeth. Continue this motion throughout your brushing cycle. Note: The bristles should slightly flare. It is not recommended to scrub as you would with a manual toothbrush. Note: If you apply too much pressure, you will be alerted by a change in vibration of the handle and the brush head replacement reminder flashing amber.
5. To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush handle semi-upright and make several vertical overlapping brushing strokes on each tooth.
6. After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can spend additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas where staining occurs. You can also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush switched on or off, as you prefer.

Note: Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to use on braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces) and dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers) if they are properly adhered and not compromised.

To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide your mouth into 6 sections using the BrushPacer feature. The BrushPacer divides the brushing time into 6 equal segments and indicates when you should move to the next area. The segments are indicated with a brief pause in vibration. The toothbrush automatically stops at the end of the brushing session.

Note: Additional segments may be added when you use the White+ or Gum Health Modes.

Based on the smart brush head you use, the optimal mode and intensity will be selected automatically by the BrushSync technology. To change modes, press the mode/intensity button while the handle is turned off.

Your power toothbrush is equipped with 4 different modes: Clean, White+, Gum Health and Deep Clean+.

Note: When brushing with the Philips Sonicare app in ‘Deep Clean+’ mode, the brushing time will be 2 minutes when connected to the app and 3 minutes when not connected to the app.

Your power toothbrush comes with 3 different intensity settings:

• low intensity (one bar)
• medium intensity (two bars)
• high intensity (three bars)

When attached to the handle, the smart brush head will automatically select the recommended intensity. If you wish to change to a different intensity, you can do so by pressing the mode/intensity button while brushing. The intensity cannot be changed as long as the handle is powered off or paused.

Your Sonicare toothbrush measures the pressure you apply while brushing, to protect your gums and teeth from damage. If you apply excess pressure, the handle changes its vibration and the brush head replacement reminder icon flashes amber until you reduce the pressure.

Your Philips Sonicare is equipped with BrushSync technology that tracks the wear of your brush head.

1. When you attach a new smart brush head for the first time, the handle recognizes that you have a Philips brush head with BrushSync technology and begins tracking brush head wear.
2. Over time, based on the pressure you apply and the total time the brush head has been used, the handle tracks brush head wear in order to determine the optimal time to replace your brush head. This feature guarantees the best cleaning and care of your teeth.
3. When the Brush Head Replacement Reminder indicator lights up amber, you should replace your brush head.

This is normal. A small gap is necessary to allow movement in order to deliver the vibrations needed to clean your teeth.

The brush head may be too close to the body of the handle. Remove the brush head from the handle and re-set it on the metal shaft leaving a small gap (1-2mm).

The battery may be low. Charge the toothbrush handle on the charger.

To remove the rechargeable battery, you need a towel or cloth, a hammer and a flat-head (standard) screwdriver. Observe basic safety precautions when you follow the procedure outlined below.

1. To deplete the rechargeable battery of any charge, remove the handle from the charger, turn on the toothbrush and let it run until it stops. Repeat this step until you can no longer turn on the toothbrush.
2. Remove and discard the brush head. Cover the entire handle with a towel or cloth.
3. Hold the top of the handle with one hand and strike the handle housing 0.5 inch above the bottom end. Strike firmly with a hammer on all 4 sides to eject the end cap. Note: You may have to hit on the end several times to break the internal snap connections.
4. Remove the end cap from the toothbrush handle. If the end cap does not release easily from the housing, repeat step 3 until the end cap is released.
5. Holding the handle upside down, press the shaft down on a hard surface. If the internal components do not easily release from the housing, repeat step 3 until the internal components are released.
6. Wedge the screwdriver between the battery and the black frame at the bottom of the internal components. Then pry the screwdriver away from the battery to break the bottom of the black frame.
7. Insert the screwdriver between the bottom of the battery and the black frame to break the metal tab connecting the battery to the green printed circuit board. This will release the bottom end of the battery from the frame.
8. Grab the battery and pull it away from the internal components to break the second metal battery tab. Caution: Be aware of the sharp edges of the battery tabs so as to avoid injury to your fingers.
9. Cover the battery contacts with tape to prevent any electrical short from residual battery charge.
