The built-in rechargeable battery must only be removed
by a qualified professional when the appliance is
discarded. Before removing the battery, make sure that
the battery is completely empty.
Take any necessary safety precautions when you
handle tools to open the appliance and when you
dispose of the rechargeable battery. Be sure to
protect your eyes, hands, fingers, and the surface
on which you work.
When you handle batteries, make sure that your
hands, the product and the batteries are dry.
To avoid accidental short-circuiting of batteries
after removal, do not let battery terminals come
into contact with metal objects (e.g. coins,
hairpins, rings). Do not wrap batteries in
aluminum foil. Tape battery terminals or put
batteries in a plastic bag before you discard them.
To remove the rechargeable battery, you need a flat-
head (standard) screwdriver. Observe basic safety
precautions when you follow the procedure outlined
below.
1 To deplete the rechargeable battery of any charge,
remove the handle from the charger, turn on the
Philips Sonicare for Kids and let it run until it stops.
Repeat this step until you can no longer turn on the
Philips Sonicare for Kids.
2 Remove and discard the brush head.
3 Insert a screwdriver into the slot located in the
bottom of the handle and turn counterclockwise until
you see a gap between the bottom cap and the
handle.
