- The rechargeable battery inside your Sonicare cannot
be replaced, but it is easy to remove for recycling. At
the end of the toothbrush’s life and prior to disposal,
please remove the rechargeable battery from the
handle by following the instructions below.
- Do not throw away the appliance with the normal
household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in at
an official collection point for recycling. By doing this,
you help to preserve the environment (Fig. 10).
- The built-in rechargeable battery contains substances
that may pollute the environment. Always remove the
battery before you discard the appliance, and recycle
or dispose of the battery according to local waste
management requirements.
- If you have any recycling questions, contact your local
waste management office.
Note: There is a small gap between the brush head
and the handle.
Note: To keep the battery fully charged at all times, you
may keep your Sonicare on the charger when not in use.
It takes at least 24 hours to fully charge the battery.
Note: Each of the first 14 brushings must be at least 1
minute in length to advance through the Easy-start
ramp-up cycle properly.
Note: Using the Easy-start feature beyond the initial
ramp-up period is not recommended and reduces
Sonicare’s effectiveness in removing plaque.
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the
mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections using the
Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’).
Align the front of the brush head with the
front of the toothbrush handle.
Push the brush head onto the metal shaft (Fig. 2).

brushing action. This is your signal to move to the
next section of your mouth.
Replace your Sonicare brush head every 3 months
for optimal results.
To remove the rechargeable battery, you need a
flat-head (standard) screwdriver. Observe basic safety
precautions when you follow the procedure outlined
below. Be sure to protect your eyes, hands, fingers,
and the surface on which you work.
The rechargeable battery can now be recycled or
disposed of and the rest of the product discarded
appropriately.
If you need service or information or if you have a
question, please visit the Philips website at
www.philips.com or contact the Philips Consumer
Care Center in your country (you find its phone
number in the worldwide guarantee leaflet). If there
is no Consumer Care Center in your country, go to
your local Philips dealer.
