Using your toothbrush
Start Brushing
Place the brush head on the handle. A small gap
should remain between handle and brush head.
Lift the handle off the plugged-in charger or sim-
ply pick it up to wake up the handle (display turns
on). Wet brush head and apply toothpaste. To
avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your
teeth before switching the handle on by pressing
the on/off button.
Note: Display turns off after some time. You may
press the on/off button to activate display again.
Guide the brush head from tooth to tooth. Brush
the outsides, the insides and the chewing sur-
faces. Brush all four quadrants of your mouth
equally. You may also consult your dentist or den-
tal hygienist about the right technique for you.
After brushing, the display gives you feedback
based on your brushing time.
In the first days of using any electric toothbrush,
your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleed-
ing should stop after a few days. Should it persist
after 2 weeks, please consult your dentist or den-
tal hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth and/or
gums, Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive»
or «Super Sensitive» modes (optional in combi-
nation with an Oral-B «Gentle Care» brush head
(d)). Availability of modes are depending on
model purchased.
Timer
The timer signals with a short stuttering sound at
30-seconds intervals to move to the next quad-
rant of your mouth. A long stuttering sound indi-
cates the end of the professionally recommended
2-minute brushing time.
The timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time,
even when the handle is briefly switched off dur-
ing brushing. The timer resets if pausing longer
than 30 seconds or placing the handle on the
plugged-in charger.
Note: During the use of the Oral-B App, the timer
may be deactivated for some features.
Note: You may also customize the timer settings
via Oral-B App.
Smart Pressure Sensor features (a)
Your toothbrush is equipped with a Smart Pres-
sure Sensor (3) that has various functionalities
indicated via different colours of light:
White (default) = Operating indicator (choose
individual colour via Oral-B App (b)) / Low pres-
sure indicator
8
Red = high pressure indicator / low battery indicator
Green = recommended pressure indicator
Blue = Bluetooth pairing indicator
Orange = Error indicator (follow display messages)
Brush with the right pressure indicated with a
green light. If too much pressure is applied, it
lights up in red reminding you to reduce pressure.
If the Smart Pressure Sensor illuminates in white
(or your pre-selected colour), we recommend
applying more pressure.
During high pressure the brush head movement
will be reduced (in «Daily Clean», «Intense» and
«Sensitive» modes). Periodically check the oper-
ation of the Smart Pressure Sensor by pressing
moderately on the brush head during use.
Note: During the use of the Oral-B App, the
Smart Pressure Sensor feedback may be inactive
for some features.
Note: Smart Pressure Sensor is deactivated dur-
ing «Tongue Clean» mode (depending on model).
Brushing modes (depending on model)
Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes
indicated on the display:
«Daily Clean» – Standard mode for daily cleaning
«Sensitive» – Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for
sensitive areas
«Gum Care» – Gentle massage of gums
«Whiten» – Polishing for occasional or everyday use
«Intense» – For an extraordinary clean feeling
(operated with a higher speed)
«Super Sensitive» – Super gentle cleaning for extra
sensitive areas
«Tongue Clean» – Tongue cleaning for occasional
or everyday use
Note: The sequence and availability of brushing
modes may vary depending on model purchased.
When operating the «Tongue Clean» mode, we
recommend using a «Gentle Care» brush head
(d). 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 30 seconds; the
motor stops after 30 seconds.

ing the mode button (8) successively once the
