Troubleshooting

Toothbrush does not turn on

Ensure the toothbrush is fully charged. Place it on the charging base for at least 24 hours. Check if the charger is properly plugged in and functioning.

Low power or vibration

The battery may be low and require charging. If fully charged, ensure the brush head is properly attached and not damaged.

Brush head not cleaning effectively

Check if the brush head needs replacement. Ensure it is correctly attached to the handle. Clean any debris from the brush head connection point.

Pressure sensor is not working

Ensure the pressure sensor area on the handle is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists after cleaning, contact customer support.

Charger not working

Verify the charger is properly plugged into a working outlet. Try a different outlet. Ensure the charging indicator light on the base illuminates when the toothbrush is placed on it.
