Connecting And Charging; Using Your Toothbrush; Brush Heads - Braun Oral-B PROFESSIONAL CARE 500 Manual Del Usuario

Connecting and charging

Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and
designed for use in the bathroom.
• Plug the basic charger (f) or the assembled charging unit
(picture A/B) into an electrical outlet and place the toothbrush
handle (c) on the charging unit.
• The green charge indicator light (d) flashes while the handle is
being charged. Once it is fully charged, the green charge
indicator light shines continuously for 5 seconds and then it
turns off. A full charge can take up to 22 hours and enables up
to seven days of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes)
(picture 2).
• If the rechargeable battery is low the red low charge indicator
light (e) is flashing for some seconds when turning your
toothbrush on/off.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on the
charging unit to maintain it at full power. Overcharging is
impossible.
• To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery,
unplug the charging unit and fully discharge the handle with
regular use at least every 6 months.
Please note: If the charge indicator light is not flashing immediately,
continue charging. It will appear in 10–15 minutes.

Using your toothbrush

Brushing technique
Wet brush head and apply any kind of toothpaste. To avoid
splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching the
appliance on (c). Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth,
spending a few seconds on each tooth surface. Start brushing the
outsides, and then the insides and finally the chewing surfaces
(picture 5). Brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally.
In the first days of using any electric toothbrush, your gums may
bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days.
Should it persist after 2 weeks, please consult your dentist or
dental hygienist.
Pressure Sensor
To promote optimal brushing your toothbrush has a pressure
control feature installed. If too much pressure is applied, the
movement of the brush head will continue but its pulsation will
stop. In addition you will also hear a different sound while brushing.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to
brush equally all four quadrants of your mouth (picture 4).
A long stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally
recommended 2-minute brushing time. The elapsed brushing time
is memorised, even when the handle is briefly switched off during
brushing. When pausing longer than 30 seconds the timer resets.
