Charging the Sonic-Fusion® 2.0 Power HandleFor a full charge, leave the handle on the charging base for at least 4 hours. If the toothbrush is to be stored for an extended period of time (six months or more), be sure to fully charge it (at least 4 hours) prior to storage.
Charge LightsToothbrush charge indicator lights will indicate level of battery charge for approximately 10 seconds after removal from the charging base and after use, and will then turn off. If only the bottom light is lit, then recharging is recommended to ensure uninterrupted use.
Wireless Connection LightBlue light indicates the flosser base unit is communicating via Wireless Communication and is “Ready” for activation via FLOSS button.

Prime Unit (First Time Use Only)Point tip into sink. Press FLOSS button to turn water on. Rotate pressure knob repeatedly between high and low until water flows. After water flows from the nozzle, press the FLOSS button to turn water OFF.
BRUSH
Place the brush head in your mouth before pressing the BRUSH button.
Recommended TechniqueFor best results, position brush along gumline at a 45-degree angle. Press the BRUSH button to turn the brush ON. Use light pressure and move the toothbrush slowly allowing for the sonic action to clean each tooth individually. Brush can be easily disconnected from the hose if desired (See diagram on product description page).
Quad TimerThe Sonic-Fusion® 2.0 will create a short pause every 30 seconds to remind you to move to the next section of your mouth. You will brush the outside of the teeth for 30 seconds and then the inside for 30 seconds. This will be repeated on the other arch for a total of 2 minutes to clean all teeth.
2-Minute TimerThe brush will automatically shut off after 2 minutes of run time.
Brush SpeedsThe Sonic-Fusion® 2.0 toothbrush gives you the option to choose between two brushing speeds: High and Low. If you wish to change to a different speed, you can do so by pressing the Speed button while brushing. The LED’s below the Speed button indicate the current selection. High: 2 LEDs ON, Low: 1 LED ON.
FLOSS
Always place the brush head in your mouth prior to pressing the FLOSS button. Lean over the sink and slightly close lips enough to prevent splashing while still allowing water to flow from mouth into sink.
Adjusting the Pressure SettingTurn the water flosser pressure control dial on the base of the unit to the lowest setting (pressure setting No. 1) for first-time use. Gradually increase pressure over time to the setting you prefer – or as instructed by your dental professional.
Recommended TechniqueFor best results, start with the back teeth and work toward the front teeth. Direct the brush head so that the water flosser nozzle is angled slightly toward the gumline. Move the brush head along the gumline pausing briefly between each tooth to allow water to clean between teeth. Continue until you have cleaned the inside and outside of both the upper and lower teeth. When finished, empty any liquid left in the reservoir.
NOTE: If you used mouthwash or any other solution besides water, see “Using Mouthwash and Other Solutions” section.
