brush head. Activate the display by picking-up the
toothbrush, lifting it off the iOsense™ charger or
pressing the on/off button (7) (display turns on).
Wet brush head and apply toothpaste. To avoid
splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth
before switching the toothbrush on by pressing the
on/off button.
Note: Display turns off after some time. You may
press the on/off button to activate display again.
Guide the brush head from tooth to tooth. Brush
the outsides, the insides and the chewing
surfaces. Brush all four quadrants of your mouth
equally. You may also consult your dentist or dental
hygienist about the right technique for you. After
brushing, the display gives you feedback based on
your brushing time.
In the first days of using any electric toothbrush,
your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding
should stop after a few days. Should it persist after
2 weeks, please consult your dentist or dental
hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth and/or gums,
Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» or
«Super Sensitive» modes (optional in combination
with an Oral-B «Gentle Care» brush head (g)).
Availability of modes are depending on model
purchased.
Toothbrush Timer (Stutter Timer)
The iO toothbrush is equipped with timer features,
which help you to achieve the professionally
recommended 2-minute brushing time. The timer
signals with a short stuttering sound at 30-seconds
intervals to move to the next quadrant of your
mouth. A long stuttering sound indicates the end
of the professionally recommended 2-minute
brushing time.
The timer memorises the reached brushing time,
even when the toothbrush is briefly switched off
during brushing. The timer resets if pausing longer
than 30 seconds or placing the toothbrush on the
plugged-in iOsense™ charger.
Note: During the use of the Oral-B App or
iOsense™ charger features the stutter timer is
deactivated in the toothbrush. You may also
customise the stutter timer settings via Oral-B App.
Toothbrush Light Ring (3)
Your iO toothbrush is equipped with a light ring (3)
that has various functions indicated via colours:
Smart Pressure Sensor (e)
White (default) = Operating indicator (choose
individual colour via Oral-B App) / Low pressure
indicator
Green = recommended pressure indicator
Red = high pressure indicator
If the Smart Pressure Sensor illuminates in white
(or your pre-selected colour), we recommend
applying more pressure. The green light indicates
recommended brushing pressure. If too much
pressure is applied, it lights up in red reminding
you to reduce pressure.
During high pressure the brush head movement
will be reduced (in «Daily Clean», «Intense» and
«Sensitive» modes). Periodically check the opera-
tion of the Smart Pressure Sensor by pressing
moderately on the brush head during use.
Note: During the use of the Oral-B App, the Smart
Pressure Sensor indication may be inactive for
some features.
Note: Smart Pressure Sensor is deactivated during
«Tongue Clean» mode.
Other functions
Red = Low battery indicator
Blue = Bluetooth pairing indicator
Orange = Error indicator (follow display messages)

mended brushing time is 30 seconds; the motor
stops after 30 seconds.
