Connecting and charging

???Plug the charger into an electrical outlet. For electric specifications, see printing on the charger.

???The flashing green lights indicate that the tooth- brush is charging; once it is fully charged, the lights turn off. A full charge enables approx. 10 days of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).

Note: If the green lights do not flash immediately, continue charging. They will appear in 10???15 minutes.

???If the rechargeable battery is low the red low charge indicator light is flashing for some seconds when turning your toothbrush on/off. If the rechargeable battery is empty the motor will stop; it will need a 40-minute charge before you can use it for a 2-minute brushing.

???You can check the charging status for some seconds by turning your toothbrush on/off or placing it on the charging unit.

Using your toothbrush

Brushing technique

Wet brush head and apply toothpaste; you can use 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 3, page 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. If you have sensitive teeth and gums, Oral-B recommends using the ??Sensitive?? mode.

Timer

You can choose between ??Professional?? or ??2-Minute?? timer and ??Count up?? or ??Count down?? timer.

The ??2-Minute?? timer signals with four beeps and a Smiley on the SmartGuide that the dentist recom- mended 2-minute brushing time has been reached.

In addition the ??Professional?? timer signals with short beep sounds at 30-seconds intervals to move to the next quadrant of your mouth (45 seconds intervals within ??Deep Clean?? mode) (picture 3, page 5). A single beep indicates completion of the first quadrant, two beeps the second one, three beeps the third one and four beeps sound when you reach the recommended 2-minute brushing time.

The timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time, even when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. The timer resets if pausing longer than 30 seconds or briefly pressing the mode button (d) during pause.

The ??Count Up?? timer displays your actual brush- ing time. The ??Count down?? timer indicates the remaining brushing time.

Personalizing the timer

Your toothbrush comes with the ??Professional?? and ??Count up?? timer activated. To change this, press and hold the brushing mode button for 3 seconds until the SmartGuide shows ??:30?? and ??timer??. Briefly press the on/off button to switch to the ??2-Minute?? timer. Push the mode button to confirm. The SmartGuide now shows ??up?? and ??timer??. Press the on/off button to switch to the ??Count down?? timer and confirm with the mode button. Leave the setup menu by pressing the mode button.

Pressure sensor

If you put excessive pressure on your teeth, the red pressure sensor light (b) will light up (picture 3, page 5). Additionally, when brushing in Daily Clean or Deep Clean mode, the brushing mode will change to the ??Sensitive?? mode. Periodically check the operation of the pressure sensor by pressing moder- ately on the brush head during use.

Brushing modes

Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes:

??Daily Clean?? ??? Standard mode for daily mouth cleaning

??Deep Clean?? ??? Mouth cleaning with extended brushing time of 45 seconds per quadrant

(3 minute total brushing time ??Sensitive?? ??? Gentle, yet thorough cleaning

for sensitive areas ??Polish/Whitening?? ??? Polishing for occasional or

everyday use

??Gum Care?? ??? Gentle vibration for gum

Your toothbrush automatically starts in the ??Daily Clean?? mode. To switch to the other modes, succes- sively press the mode button (picture 4, page 5).

To return from any mode back to the ??Daily Clean?? mode, press and hold the mode button.

The brushing mode is memorized even when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. When pausing longer than 30 seconds or briefly pressing the mode button (d) during pause the brushing mode resets to the ??Daily Clean?? mode.

Brush heads

Oral-B offers you a variety of different brush heads that fit your Oral-B DENTA-PRIDE 5000 toothbrush.

Oral-B FlossAction

features micropulse bristles that allow for an outstanding plaque removal in the interdental areas.

Oral-B ProWhite

features a special polishing cup to naturally whiten your teeth. Please note that children under 12 years old should not use the Oral-B ProWhite brush head.

Oral-B Interdental

cleans between teeth, around bridges, crowns and implants. Position the brush head at a 45 degree angle to the gumline. Slowly guide it along the gumline, pausing between each tooth.

All brush heads feature light blue INDICATOR bristles to help you monitor brush head replacement need. With thorough brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the blue color will fade halfway down approximately in a 3-month period. If the bristles splay before the colour recedes, you may exert too much pressure on teeth and gums.

We do not recommend using the Oral-B FlossAction or Oral-B ProWhite brush head with braces. You may use the Oral-B Ortho brush head, specifically designed to clean around braces and wires.

Synchronizing your toothbrush

To avoid interference of display messages when using more than one Oral-B DENTA-PRIDE 5000 toothbrush with SmartGuide in the same household, you need to assign the handles to their respective SmartGuide.

You can synchronize a maximum of 2 handles with one SmartGuide. To do so, push the ??h/min?? button in the battery compartment for at least 3 seconds.

The SmartGuide shows ??L---??. Turn on your handle to start the synchronization process. It is finished when ??L-1-?? is displayed. Turn off the handle. To assign a second handle to the same SmartGuide turn on the other handle until ??L-2-?? is displayed. After having synchronized the second handle, ??Full?? will be displayed. Exit the syncronization mode by pressing the ??h/min?? or ??set?? button, otherwise it will end automatically after 30 seconds.

Cleaning recommendations

After brushing, rinse your brush head under running water with the handle switched on. Switch off and remove the brush head. Clean handle and brush head separately; wipe them dry before reassembling. Disassemble the charging unit before cleaning. Brush head compartment and protective cover are dish- washer-safe. Both basic charger and SmartGuide should be cleaned with a damp cloth only (picture 5, page 5).

Wall mount

Use the adhesive tape (k) if you prefer to mount the SmartGuide on a wall, mirror or other surface. Make sure the chosen surface is clean and dry. Position the wall mount (j) with the Oral-B logo readable and press it evenly and firmly to the wall. Wait 24h before sliding the SmartGuide into the fixed wall mount

(picture C, page 4). The adhesive tape will not work on dirt-repellent surfaces.
