Removing the rechargeable battery
Only remove the rechargeable battery when you discard the appliance.
Make sure the battery is completely empty when you remove it.
To remove the rechargeable battery, you need a towel or cloth,
a hammer and a flat-head (standard) screwdriver. Observe basic safety
precautions when you follow the procedure outlined below. Be sure to
protect your eyes, hands, fingers, and the surface on which you work.
1
To deplete the rechargeable battery of any charge, remove the
handle from the charger, switch on the Philips Sonicare and
let it run until it stops. Repeat this step until you can no longer
switch on the Philips Sonicare.
2
Remove and discard the brush head. Cover the entire handle with
a towel or cloth (Fig. 12).
3
Hold the top of the handle with one hand and strike the handle
housing 1 cm above the bottom end. Strike firmly with a hammer
on all 4 sides to eject the end cap (Fig. 13).
You may have to hit on the end several times to break the
internal snap connections.

Remove the end cap from the toothbrush handle. If the end cap
does not release easily from the housing, repeat step 3 until the
end cap is released (Fig. 14).
