[. . . ] Please read the usage instructions carefully before teaching your child how to use this toothbrush. We recommend that parents supervise their children when they start using the appliance to help them to become familiar with it. If the cord is damaged, take the charging unit to an Oral-B Braun Service Centre. [. . . ] ⷠIf you are undergoing treatment for any oral care condition, consult your dental professional prior to use. A B C D Brush head On/off switch Handle Charging unit Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and designed for use in the bathroom. ⷠPlug the charging unit (D) into an electrical outlet and place the handle (C) on there (see picture 1). A full charge takes 16 hours and enables approximately one week of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes). ⷠFor everyday use, the handle can be stored on the plugged-in charging unit to maintain the toothbrush at full power; there is no risk of overcharging. However for environmental reasons, Oral-B recommends to unplug the charging unit until the next recharge is required. Battery maintenance To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery, unplug the charging unit and discharge the handle by regular use at least every 6 months. Please use following steps to explain to your child how to operate the toothbrush properly: · Put a small amount of toothpaste on the brush head. First guide the brush head to the teeth; then turn on the handle by pressing the on/off switch (B) (see picture 2). ⷠStart with the lower teeth: Slowly guide the brush head from tooth to tooth; first the outsides, then the insides, finally the chewing surfaces. After one minute of operation, an incorporated timer signals by a short stutter to move on to the upper teeth and clean them ­ again tooth by tooth until the next timer signal is given (see picture 3). ⷠTurn off the handle by pressing the on/off switch while the brush head is still in the mouth. The brush head is provided with a row of blue INDICATOR® bristles (3a) helping you to monitor brush head 5 With proper brushing twice a day for two minutes, the colour will fade halfway in a 3-month period (3b), provided toothpaste is used. If bristles begin to splay before the colour starts to recede, this indicates that your child exerts too much pressure on teeth and gums (3c).
