• Intensity Settings
• Mode Controls
• Enable and disable Adaptive Intensity
• Enable and disable Scrubbing feedback

Brush Head

Your Sonicare Prestige power toothbrush comes with the new “Premium All-in-One brush head” (A3). This brush head is specifically designed to provide exceptional plaque removal, whitening (stain removal), and gum health benefits. Premium All-in-One brush heads come with BrushSync Technology (see description below) as indicated by the symbol at the bottom of the brush head. To explore our full range of brush head options, please visit our website for more information: www.philips.com/toothbrush-heads

Using your Philips Sonicare

• Push the brush head firmly onto the handle.

Note: It is normal to see a slight gap between the brush head and the handle. This allows the brush head to vibrate properly.

• Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.

• Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle (45 degrees). Apply light pressure to make the bristles reach the gumline or slightly beneath the gumline.

Note: Keep the center of the brush head in contact with the teeth at all times.

• Press the power on/off button to turn on the Philips Sonicare.

• Apply light pressure to maximize Philips Sonicare’s effectiveness and let the Philips Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you.

Note: The bristles should slightly flare. Do not scrub. A change in vibration from the handle and the brushing feedback light flashes purple to alert you when you apply too much pressure.

Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small back and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth. Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle.

• To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush handle semi-upright and make several vertical overlapping brushing strokes on each tooth.

• The BrushPacer divides the brushing time into six equal segments and indicates when you should move to the next area. Segments are indicated with a brief pause in vibration. The toothbrush automatically stops at the end of the brushing session.

Note: Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to use on braces, dental modifications and dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)

Brushing modes

Your power toothbrush comes pre-set to the all-inone clean mode that provides the dentist recommended 2 minute brushing routine, with a six segment brush pacer. To personalize your brushing mode you can customize your power toothbrush settings from the Sonicare app (see ‘Sonicare App – Getting Started’).

Note: Although a mode is not displayed on the toothbrush handle, you can update the mode any time from the Sonicare App and your selection will be stored.

Intensity settings

Your power toothbrush comes with 3 different intensity settings:

• High intensity (three lights)
• Medium intensity (two lights)
• Low intensity (one light)

To manually select your desired intensity, press the intensity indicator lights on the handle, to cycle through the options. The intensity setting can be changed before, during, or after brushing

Note: The intensity setting can also be customized from the Sonicare app.

BrushSync technology

Brush Sync technology enables your brush head to communicate with your handle using a microchip. The symbol at the bottom of the brush head indicates that the brush head is equipped with this technology. Brush Sync technology enables:

• Brush head replacement reminder
• Brush Sync mode paring (for Tongue Care brush heads)

Features

SenseIQ

• Pressure Sensor Feedback
• Adaptive Intensity
• Scrubbing Feedback
• BrushPacer
• Brush head replacement reminder

SenseIQ

Your Sonicare is equipped with SenseIQ technology that is a combination of smart features that observe your brushing behaviors (e.g. motions, habits, brush head choice) and provide personalized feedback and recommendations. The SenseIQ features include:

• Adaptive Intensity

Real time feedback:

• Scrubbing Feedback
• Pressure Sensor Feedback
• Personalized recommendations in the app
• Brushing behavior feedback in the app The SenseIQ icon on the handle will illuminate when the smart features are active:
• while brushing
• to confirm enabling and disabling of settings

Pressure Sensor Feedback

Your Sonicare toothbrush measures the pressure you apply while brushing to protect your gums and teeth from damage. If you apply excess pressure, the handle will change its vibration and the brushing feedback light will flash (purple) at the bottom of the handle until you reduce the pressure.

Note: The Pressure Sensor comes activated with your product. To deactivate this feature, see ‘Activating or deactivating features’.

Adaptive intensity

Your Sonicare toothbrush is designed with Adaptive Intensity to protect your gums. If you apply excess pressure for an extended period of time, your toothbrush will automatically lower the intensity setting 1 level. You will experience a brief pause in the pressure feedback and feel the intensity adjust to the next lower level.

Note: Adaptive Intensity comes activated with your product. To deactivate this feature, see ‘Activating or deactivating features’.

Note: Every new brushing cycle the intensity will go back to your pre-selected setting.

Scrubbing Feedback

Your Sonicare toothbrush measures the motions while brushing to detect scrubbing behavior (see brushing instructions for optimal technique). If you regularly scrub while brushing, the app will recommend that you enable Scrubbing Feedback. When Scrubbing Feedback is activated the brushing feedback light at the bottom of the handle will illuminate amber and the handle will change its vibration as a reminder to stop scrubbing. The brushing feedback light will turn off when you stop scrubbing.

Note: Scrubbing Feedback comes deactivated. To activate this feature, see ‘Activating or deactivating features’.

BrushPacer

The BrushPacer divides the brushing time into six equal segments and indicates when you should move to the next area. Segments are indicated with a brief pause in vibration. The toothbrush automatically stops at the end of the brushing session.

Note: Additional segments may be added when you use White+ or Gum Health Modes. See Sonicare app for mode descriptions.

Brush head replacement reminder

The BrushPacer divides the brushing time into six equal segments and indicates when you should move to the next area. Segments are indicated with a brief pause in vibration. The toothbrush automatically stops at the end of the brushing session.

Note: Additional segments may be added when you use White+ or Gum Health Modes. See Sonicare app for mode descriptions.

Brush head replacement reminder

Your Sonicare toothbrush will track the wear of your smart brush head, using the BrushSync technology to measure:

• The overall pressure you apply while brushing
• The total time you have brushed with your brush head Once your brush head is no longer effective, the brush head replacement reminder indicator light will blink amber and the handle will make a series of beeps and tones to indicate it is time to replace your brush head.

Note: The brush head replacement reminder comes activated with your product. To deactivate this feature, see ‘Activating or deactivating features’.
