The «2-Minute Timer» indicates by a long
stuttering sound and a «smiley» on the
SmartGuide display unit that the dentist
recommended 2-minute brushing time has been
reached. In addition the «Professional Timer»
helps you brush all four quadrants of your
mouth equally. It signals with a short stuttering
sound at 30-second intervals (45-second
intervals within «Deep Clean» mode) and the
«quadrant circle» on the SmartGuide display unit
that it is time to move to the next quadrant of
your mouth.
Both timers memorize the elapsed brushing
time, even when the handle is briefly switched
off during brushing. When pausing longer than
30 seconds, the timer resets to the initial
starting point.
The «Count Up Timer» displays your actual
brushing time. The «Count Down Timer»
indicates the remaining brushing time. Starting
with «2:00» minutes, it goes down to «0:00».
When brushing longer than two minutes, it
automatically changes to the «Count Up Timer».
The total brushing time can be extended to
3 minutes by using the «Deep Clean» mode
(see «Brushing modes»).
Your toothbrush comes with the «Professional
Timer» and the «Count Up Timer» activated. If
you wish to change these settings, proceed as
follows:
• Press and hold the mode button (c) until the
SmartGuide display unit (j) shows «:30» and
«timer».

• By briefly pressing the on/off button (b), switch
to the «2-Minute Timer». Confirm your choice
by pushing the brushing mode button (c).
• This will lead you directly to the «Count Up
Timer» display («up» and «timer» will be
shown). Switch to the «Count Down Timer»
by pressing the on/off button and confirm it
with the mode button (c).
Please note: It is normal that the handle display
shows two flashing bars when operating in the
timer setting mode.

Brushing technique
• Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to
tooth.
• Hold the brush head in place for a few
seconds before moving on to the next tooth.
• Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the
outsides, then the insides, finally the chewing
surfaces.
• Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let
the brush do all the work. When you finish
brushing, the total brushing time will be
displayed for 30 seconds before the display
switches back to the time mode. To directly
get to the time mode, clear the brushing time
display by pushing the mode button.
Your toothbrush has a pressure control feature
to help ensure that the right degree of pressure
is applied. This helps protect your gums from
