Operation

1. Turning On/Off

Press the ON/OFF button located on the handle to start or stop the toothbrush. The toothbrush operates in an automatic vibrating mode.

2. Brushing Technique

Apply a small amount of toothpaste to the brush head. Place the brush head against your teeth at a slight angle towards the gum line. Move the brush gently across all surfaces of your teeth, gums, and tongue. Do not scrub aggressively. Brush your teeth for at least two minutes, twice a day, or as recommended by your dentist.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Toothbrush

After each use, rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water to remove any toothpaste residue and debris. Shake off excess water and store the toothbrush in an upright position to allow it to air dry.

2. Replacing the Brush Head

Dentists and hygienists recommend replacing your toothbrush head every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed. To replace, firmly pull the old brush head straight off the handle and attach a new one as described in the Setup section.

3. Replacing Batteries

When the toothbrush performance diminishes, it is time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps in the Setup section. Always replace all batteries at the same time with new ones of the same type.
