Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is
electrically safe and designed for use in the
bathroom.
•Plug the charger into an electrical outlet. For
voltage specifications refer to the bottom of the
charging unit.
•The flashing blue lights indicate that the tooth-
brush is charging (picture 1, page 4); once it is
fully charged, the lights turn off. A full charge can
take up to 24 hours and enables up to 10 days of
regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).
Note: After deep discharge, the blue lights might
not flash immediately; it can take up to 10–15
minutes.
•If the rechargeable battery is low a blue light is
flashing on the charge level display (g) for some
seconds when turning your toothbrush on/off. If
the rechargeable battery is empty the motor will
stop and an orange light is flashing on the charge
level display; it will need a 40-minute charge
before you can use it for a 2-minute brushing.
•For everyday use, the handle can be stored on
the charging unit to maintain it at full power.
Overcharging is impossible.
•Battery maintenance: 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.
SmartGuide adjustments
The SmartGuide (i) comes with a demonstration
mode. Deactivate this mode by removing the
compartment cover in the back (picture A, page 3)
and push the «set» or «h/min» button.
A flashing «12:00» indicates that you can now adjust
the clock time.
Note: If the SmartGuide display is blank before first
use (no active demonstration mode/no batteries
inserted) the batteries will need to be replaced/
inserted before continuing. Batteries are supplied.
Clock Time
Press and hold the «set» button until «12h» is dis-
played. By briefly pressing the «h/min» button, you
can toggle between «12h» or «24h» daytime format.
Push «set» to confirm your choice. Then the hour
digit starts flashing. Press the «h/min» button until

Using your toothbrush
Brushing technique
Wet brush head and apply any kind of toothpaste.
To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your
teeth before switching on the appliance (picture 2,
page 4). Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to
tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth
surface (picture 3, page 4). 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.
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/or gums,
Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» mode
(optional in combination with an Oral-B «Sensitive»
brush head).
Timer
You can choose between «Professional» or
«2-Minute» timer.
The «2-Minute» timer signals with a short stuttering
sound and a green light (b) that the dentist recom-
mended 2-minute brushing time has been reached.
The «Professional» timer signals with a short
stuttering sound and a green light at 30-seconds
intervals to move to the next quadrant of your mouth
(45 seconds intervals within «Deep Clean» mode)
(picture 5, page 4). A long stuttering sound and a
green light indicate the end of the professionally
recommended 2-minute brushing time (3-minute
brushing time within «Deep Clean» mode).
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.
Personalizing the timer
Your toothbrush comes with the «Professional»
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.
Pressure sensor
If you put excessive pressure on your teeth, the
red pressure sensor light (b) will light up (picture 5,
page 4). 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.
Note: In «Tongue Cleaning» mode the pressure
sensor is turned off.
Brushing modes (depending on model)
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
«Gum Care» – Gentle massage of gums
«Tongue Cleaning» – Tongue cleaning for
occasional or everyday use
When operating the «Tongue Cleaning» mode, we
recommend using the «Sensitive» brush head.
You can brush your tongue either with or without
toothpaste. Brush the whole area of your tongue
systematically in gentle movements.
The recommended brushing time is 20 seconds;
the SmartGuide will indicate completion with a
smiley face.
Your toothbrush automatically starts in the «Daily
Clean» mode. To switch to the other modes,
successively press the mode button (picture 6,
page 4). To return from any mode back to the
«Daily Clean» mode, press and hold the mode
button. The brushing mode is memorised 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.
Brush heads
Oral-B offers you a variety of different Oral-B brush
heads that fit your Oral-B toothbrush handle.
Our oscillating-rotating brush heads can be
used for tooth-by-tooth precision cleaning.
Oral-B CrossAction brush head

Oral-B FlossAction
features micropulse bristles that allow
for an outstanding plaque removal in
the interdental areas.
Oral-B 3D White
features a special polishing cup to
naturally whiten your teeth. Please
note that children under 12 years old
should not use the Oral-B ProWhite
brush head.
Oral-B Sensitive
features an extra soft bristle structure
that is gentle on teeth and gums.
Oral-B Precision Clean
cups each tooth with a curved bristle
trim and reaches deep between teeth
at the same time.
Oral-B brush heads feature light blue INDICATOR®
bristles to help you monitor brush head replace-
ment need. With thorough brushing, twice a day
for two minutes, the blue color will fade halfway
approximately within 3 months, indicating the need
to exchange your brush head. 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 «3D White» brush head with
braces.
Synchronizing your
toothbrush
To avoid interference of display messages when
using more than one Oral-B toothbrush with radio
transmission and SmartGuide in the same house-
hold, you need to assign the handles to their
respective SmartGuide.
You can synchronize a maximum of 2 handles with
one SmartGuide. To do so, push the «h/min» button
in the battery compartment for at least 3 seconds.
The SmartGuide shows «L---». Turn on your handle
to start the synchronization process. It is finished
when «L-1-» is displayed. Turn off the handle.
To assign a second handle to the same SmartGuide
turn on the other handle until «L-2-» is displayed.
After having synchronized the second handle, «Full»
will be displayed. Exit the synchronization mode by
pressing the «h/min» or «set» button, otherwise it
will end automatically after 30 seconds.
Connecting your toothbrush
to your Smart Phone
Download the Oral-B™ app for free from App
Store(SM) or Google Play™. The Oral-B™ app gives
you the opportunity to use your time more
efficiently, chart your brushing progress and
customize your toothbrush settings (for more
benefits see the Oral-B™ app instructions).
•Start the Oral-B™ app. You can use the app and
your SmartGuide (i) at the same time.
•The Oral-B™ app will guide you through the
Bluetooth pairing procedure.
Note: Oral-B™ app functionality is limited if
Bluetooth is deactivated on your phone (for
directions please refer to your smart phone’s
user manual).
•Once you start using your toothbrush by lifting
it off the plugged-in charger (h) or pressing any
button (c)/(d), it automatically connects to
the Oral-B™ app. If no connection has been
established, briefly press the mode button (d) on
your toothbrush handle and wait for a connection.
•Any further app instructions will be displayed on
your smart phone.
•Keep your smart phone in close proximity when
using it with your toothbrush handle. Make sure
the smart phone is safely positioned in a dry
place.
Note: Your smart phone must support Bluetooth 4.0
(or higher) in order to connect to your toothbrush
handle.
Cleaning recommendations
After brushing, rinse your brush head under running
water with the handle switched on. Switch off and
remove the brush head. Clean handle and brush
head separately; wipe them dry before reassembling.
Disassemble the charging unit before cleaning.
Brush head compartment and protective cover are
dishwasher-safe. Both basic charger and SmartGuide
should be cleaned with a damp cloth only.
The removable inner part of the travel case (m) is
dishwasher-safe. The outer case should only be
wiped clean with a damp cloth (picture 7, page 4).
Make sure that travel case parts are completely dry
before reassembling and toothbrush/brush heads
are dry before storing in the travel case.

Important information on
Bluetooth® radio module
Although all indicated functions on the Bluetooth
device are supported, Oral-B does not ensure 100%
reliability in connection, and feature operation
consistency. Operation performance and
connection reliability are direct consequences of
each individual Bluetooth device, software version
as well as the operating system of those Bluetooth
devices and company security regulations
implemented on the device. Oral-B adheres to and
strictly implements the Bluetooth standard by which
Bluetooth devices can communicate and function
in Oral-B toothbrushes. However, if device
manufacturers fail to implement this standard,
Bluetooth compatibility and features will be further
compromised and the user may experience
functional and feature-related issues. Please note
that the software on the Bluetooth device can
significantly affect compatibility and operation.
