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.

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 “
①
front of the teeth”, “
②
biting
plane of the teeth”, and “
③
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.

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.
