1. Product Overview
The Oral-B Pro Series 1 Electric Toothbrush is designed to provide a professional clean feeling every day. It features Oral-B's unique 3D cleaning technology, which combines oscillations, rotations, and pulsations to remove up to 100% more plaque compared to a regular manual toothbrush. The integrated professional timer guides you to brush for the dentist-recommended 2 minutes, with a signal every 30 seconds to switch brushing areas. It also includes a gum pressure control feature to protect your gums from excessive brushing force.

3. What's Included
Your Oral-B Pro Series 1 Electric Toothbrush package typically includes the following components:
- 1 x Oral-B Pro Series 1 Rechargeable Toothbrush Handle
- 1 x Oral-B Brush Head (e.g., CrossAction or Precision Clean)
- 1 x Charging Base
4. Getting Started
4.1 Charging the Toothbrush
- Plug the charging base into an electrical outlet.
- Place the toothbrush handle on the charging base. The charging indicator light on the handle will illuminate, indicating that the toothbrush is charging.
- For first use, charge the toothbrush for at least 16 hours to ensure a full battery. A full charge provides approximately 10 days of regular brushing (twice a day for 2 minutes).
- When the battery is low, the charging indicator light may flash or change color (depending on the model). Place it back on the charger.
4.2 Attaching the Brush Head
Simply push the brush head onto the handle's shaft until it clicks into place. To remove, pull the brush head off the shaft.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Power On/Off
Press the power button on the handle to turn the toothbrush on. Press it again to turn it off.
5.2 Brushing Technique
- Wet the brush head and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
- Place the brush head on your teeth, holding it at a slight angle towards the gumline.
- Turn on the toothbrush. Do not scrub; simply guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth. The small, round brush head is designed to clean one tooth at a time.
- The built-in timer will signal with a short stutter every 30 seconds, indicating it's time to move to the next quadrant of your mouth.
- A longer stuttering sound will indicate the completion of the dentist-recommended 2-minute brushing time.
5.3 Pressure Sensor
The Oral-B Pro Series 1 features a gum pressure control system. If you brush too hard, the toothbrush will stop its pulsations to protect your gums from excessive force. Reduce pressure immediately when this occurs.
5.4 Brushing Modes
Your toothbrush offers three easy-to-use cleaning modes:
- Daily Clean: For everyday cleaning.
- Sensitive: Gentle yet thorough cleaning for sensitive areas.
- Whitening: Designed to polish and remove surface stains.
To switch between modes, press the power button repeatedly while the toothbrush is on.
6. Care and Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the Toothbrush
- After each use, rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water with the handle switched on.
- Remove the brush head and clean the handle and brush head separately under running water.
- Wipe the handle dry with a cloth.
- Clean the charging base regularly with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the charging base in water.
6.2 Replacing the Brush Head
Dentists recommend replacing your brush head every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles become splayed or frayed. The indicator bristles on Oral-B brush heads will fade halfway to signal when it's time to replace your brush head.
