3. Setup

  1. Prepare the Brush: Wet the brush head bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
  2. Position the Brush: Place the brush head bristles on your teeth at a slight angle, ensuring they are aligned with your gum line.
  3. Start Brushing: Press the power button (usually the top button) to start the acoustic vibration toothbrush.
  4. Select Mode and Intensity: Use the second button (below the power button) to cycle through the available modes (Clean, White, Gum Care) and adjust the brushing intensity. The illuminated indicators on the handle will show the currently selected mode.
  5. Brush Your Teeth: Gently move the brush head slowly across all surfaces of your teeth in small, controlled motions. Allow the toothbrush to do most of the work.
  6. Finish Brushing: After brushing for the recommended duration (typically 2 minutes), press the power button again to turn off the toothbrush.

5. Maintenance

  • After Each Use: Rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water. Wipe the handle with a damp cloth to remove any toothpaste residue.
  • Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the entire handle, especially around the buttons and the shaft, to prevent buildup. Do not submerge the handle in water for extended periods.
  • Charging: Charge the toothbrush when the battery indicator shows low power. Ensure the charging base (if applicable, not included) is dry before placing the handle on it.
  • Storage: Store the toothbrush in a dry place when not in use.

6. Troubleshooting

  • Toothbrush not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
  • Reduced brushing power: This may indicate a low battery. Charge the toothbrush fully.
  • Unusual noise or vibration: Check if the brush head is properly attached. If the problem continues, discontinue use and contact support.
