Functions of Your Toothbrush
Soft start function
To prevent toothpaste from spattering and to get accustomed to the high
speed vibration, the toothbrush will gradually reach the selected speed and
vibration approximately 2 seconds after it starts operating.
This function is only in NORMAL mode.
Introduction
The Sonic Vibration Toothbrush is
an electric toothbrush with sonic vibration* of approximately 31,000 brush strokes/
minute.
* Sonic vibration in acoustic wave field
When you first begin using the toothbrush, you may experience slight bleeding of
the gums even though your gums may be healthy. This is because your gums are
receiving stimulation by the toothbrush for the first time. The bleeding should stop
after one or two weeks of use. Bleeding that persists for more than two weeks
may be indication of an abnormal condition of your gums, such as pyorrhea. In
this case, stop using the toothbrush and consult your dentist.
30-second brushing notification timer function
The toothbrush will pause once at 30-second intervals to indicate the
brushing time.

The main unit pauses twice at 2-minute intervals then starts again.

Example of brushing sequence
Divide your teeth into 4 parts (upper and lower,
left and right), and brush one part at a time in
order such as “ front of the teeth”, “ biting
plane of the teeth”, and “ back of the teeth”
spending 30 seconds on each.
By brushing the above 4 parts for 30 seconds
each (about 2 minutes), you can evenly brush
your teeth without missing any spots in your
mouth.
English
Sonic vibration toothbrush (ion type)
Touching the ion panel with your
hand when you hold the main
unit to brush your teeth causes a
very weak electric current (ionic
current) to flow between your
teeth and the brush head.
Pressing the power switch
activates the mechanism
that generates the very weak
electric current, and the ion
lamp
blinks on and off.
You can easily see the lamp status if you use a mirror while brushing.
Ionic power is not employed with the point brush.
(The ion lamp blinks.)
Ion Lamp Q&A P. EN21
Putting the brush in your
mouth passes a very weak
electric current in the
oral cavity, ionic power is
activated and the ion lamp
turns on.
When in use, the main unit of this
toothbrush emits a very weak
electric current in the oral cavity.
The combination of the sonic
wave from the linear motor and
the force of ions improve its ability
to remove dental plaque.
The ion lamp turns on or blinks to indicate whether ionic power* is being
applied to the teeth.
* Ion power is a weak electric current passed through the ions in saliva.

Using the Toothbrush
Place the brush head firmly onto the toothbrush shaft.
Place the toothbrush in your mouth.
Press the power switch to turn on the main unit.
Ensure that the direction is correct.
Align the front of the main unit and the front of the
brush head.
Do not attach the brush head by twisting it into place.
(Doing so may damage the brush head and main unit.)
The toothbrush shaft will move when a force is applied.
This is required for operation, and is not a malfunction.
There is a small gap between the brush head and the
main unit (a few mm). This is necessary for operation
and is not a malfunction.
To avoid spattering of toothpaste, put the brush head in
your mouth before turning the power on.
Apply a small amount of toothpaste.
Move the brush head with the bristles lightly touching
your teeth.
When first using this appliance, some people may
experience a tickling or tingling sensation caused by the
sonic vibrations.
The sensation should subside after you use the
toothbrush several more times.
A sound may be heard when the brush head is
pressed too strongly against the teeth, but this is not a
malfunction.
Notes
Recommended ambient temperature for using is 5 °C – 35 °C.
Toothbrush may not operate outside recommended temperature range.
Do not put the main unit in contact with hair products, hand creams, etc.
(Doing so may damage the exterior.)

please consult your dentist.
Be careful when using the brush head. Forcefully pulling or biting the rubber
section may cause it to come off.
Do not apply the brush to your teeth. (This can cause the silicone brush to
degrade.)
Carbon is used in the rubber section, so gripping it firmly may cause a black

mouth.
During use, the weak electric current may flow through the
moisture on your hands when you touch the ion panel and the
brush head electrode section (or toothbrush shaft) with your
hand.
When you turn the power on and wash the main unit, the
very weak electric current may flow through the moisture
between the toothbrush shaft and the ion panel.
When you remove the brush head from your mouth just after
brushing without turning the power off, the weak electric
current may flow through the liquid such as saliva on the brush
head and the main unit.
