Troubleshooting

Toothbrush not turning on

Ensure the toothbrush is adequately charged. Place it on the charger for at least 24 hours. Check that the charger is plugged in correctly and the outlet is functional.

Weak vibration or reduced cleaning power

The brush head may need replacement. Try attaching a new brush head. Ensure the brush head is properly seated on the handle. Check battery level; a low battery may cause reduced power.

Battery not charging

Verify the charger is plugged in and the outlet is working. Ensure the toothbrush handle is correctly placed on the charging base. Clean the charging contacts on both the handle and the base with a dry cloth.

Indicator light not functioning

The indicator light may be functioning normally, even if not immediately visible. If charging seems complete and the light remains off, try charging for an extended period or consult customer support.
