Troubleshooting
The toothbrush does not turn on.
Ensure the handle is fully charged. If it is new, it requires a full 24-hour charge before first use.
The brush feels too powerful or ticklish.
Enable the EasyStart feature to slowly increase power over the first 14 uses, and switch to the lower intensity setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the brush is simple: charge the handle for 24 hours before the first use. To care for your device, rinse the brush head and bristles thoroughly after every use and allow the handle to air dry. The handle is water-resistant, but it should not be submerged in water for long periods. Store your device in the included travel case when on the go to protect the handle from impact and the brush heads from debris. For optimal hygiene, replace your brush head every three months, or sooner if the bristles show signs of fraying.
