4Apply a small amount of toothpaste on the bristles. (Fig. 5)
5Place 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. (Fig. 6) A change in vibration (and a
slight change in sound) alerts you when you apply too much
pressure while brushing.
Note: Keep the center of the brush in contact with the teeth at all
times.
6Press the power on/off button to turn on the Philips Sonicare. (Fig.

7Gently 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. (Fig. 8)
Note: The bristles should slightly flare. Do not scrub.
8To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush handle
semi-upright and make several vertical overlapping brushing
strokes on each tooth. (Fig. 9)
9To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide the
mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature. (Fig. 10) The
quadpacer feature beeps after 30 seconds.
10 Brush for the full 2 minutes following the Quadpacer. (Fig. 11) After
2 minutes, the toothbrush will automatically shut off.
In white mode, after 2 minutes the handle will continue to brush
for 30 seconds so that you can brighten and polish your front
teeth.
In gum care mode, after 2 minutes the handle will continue to
brush for an additional minute so you can gently stimulate and
massage your gums.
- After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can spend
additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and
areas where staining occurs. (Fig. 12)
Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to use on:
