Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300 Rechargeable Toothbrush Instruction Manual

Introduction

The Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300 rechargeable toothbrush is designed to provide an exceptional cleaning experience, removing up to 7 times more plaque than a manual toothbrush. It features advanced technology for cleaner teeth and gums with less effort, ensuring better dental checkups. This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your device.

What's Included

• 2 Philips Sonicare 4300 handles
• 2 chargers
• 2 Optimal Plaque Control brush heads
• 1 tongue cleaner
• 2 travel cases

Setup

1. Attach the Brush Head: Align the brush head with the handle and push it down firmly until it clicks into place. The Philips Sonicare click-on brush heads are designed for easy attachment and removal.
2. Initial Charge: Place the toothbrush handle on the charger. The battery indicator light will flash to show it is charging. Allow the toothbrush to charge for at least 24 hours before first use to ensure a full battery life. The battery charge indicator light will let you know when to recharge, offering a 2-week battery life.
3. Travel Case: The included travel case provides a convenient and hygienic way to store your toothbrush and up to two brush heads when traveling. It is designed to protect your device and keep it clean.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off: Press the power button to turn the toothbrush on or off.
2. Select Brushing Mode: The ProtectiveClean 4300 offers two brushing modes: 'Clean' and 'Sensitive'. Press the mode button to cycle through the available modes. The selected mode will be indicated by an illuminated light.
3. 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 gumline. Move the brush head slowly across each tooth, allowing the bristles to do the work.
4. Pressure Sensor: The toothbrush is equipped with a pressure sensor that alerts you when you are brushing too hard. If excessive pressure is applied, the handle will vibrate differently, prompting you to reduce pressure to protect your teeth and gums.
5. Smartimer and QuadPacer: The Smartimer ensures you brush for the dental professional recommended 2 minutes. The QuadPacer feature encourages thorough brushing by signaling every 30 seconds to move to a different quadrant of your mouth.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Brush Head: After each use, rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water.
2. Cleaning the Handle: Wipe the handle with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the handle in water for extended periods.
3. Brush Head Replacement: The BrushSync replacement reminder feature will illuminate an indicator light to let you know when it's time to replace your brush head, typically every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed.

Troubleshooting

If your Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300 is not functioning as expected, please refer to the following common issues:
