go beyond ordinary clean to improve your oral
health. With its many state-of-the-art features
powered by Braun technology and inspired by
the dental experts at Oral-B, you can feel
confident that you are brushing at your best.
New Oral-B Triumph now with SmartGuide

innovative brushing technology delivers ultimate
plaque removal and its advanced Oral-B

bristles to gently penetrate between teeth.
It provides such a thorough clean that you won’t
believe how great you feel about your teeth.
Oral-B Triumph with SmartGuide is brought to
you by Oral-B, the brand more dentists use
themselves worldwide.
Important
• To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or
compatibility conflicts, deactivate the radio
transmission of your toothbrush before
carrying or using it in restricted surroundings
such as aircrafts or specially marked areas
in hospitals (see «Deactivating the radio
transmission»).
• Persons with pacemakers should always keep
the toothbrush more than six inches (15 centi-
meters) from the pacemaker when turned on.
If at any time you suspect interference is
taking place, deactivate the radio transmission
of your toothbrush before using it (see
«Deactivating the radio transmission»).

First use
Before brushing for the first time, charge your
toothbrush. Plug the SmartPlug into an electrical
outlet and place the handle (d) on the charging
ring (see «Connecting and charging»).
• To activate the SmartGuide display unit (k),
remove the battery compartment cover on the
back and insert the two batteries (type AA)
with correct polarity (see symbol in the battery
compartment).
• A flashing «12:00» on the SmartGuide display
indicates that time can be adjusted. Press
the «set» button, located in the battery
compartment, until «12h» is displayed.
• By briefly pressing the «h/min» button, you
can toggle between a «12h» or «24h» daytime
format. Push the «set» button to confirm your
choice.
• Then the hour digit starts flashing. Press the
«h/min» button until the right hour appears
and confirm with the «set» button. Proceed
the same way to set both minute digits. If you
prefer not using this clock feature, the flashing
«12:00» will disappear automatically after 24h.

You can start your toothbrush by pressing the
on/off button (b). To avoid splashing, guide the
brushhead to your teeth before switching the
appliance on.
Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is
electrically safe and is designed for use in the
bathroom.
To assemble the base station (h) as a charging
unit, detach the base plate (g) first (1, page 3).
Place the charging ring into the base station
and attach the base plate as shown (2 and 3,
page 3). Then insert the protective cover (i) on
the back of your base station (see diagram 4,
page 3).
• Plug the SmartPlug into an electrical outlet
and place the toothbrush handle (d) on the
charging unit. A battery symbol should appear
in the handle display (e). The battery symbol
will fill up while the handle is being charged.
Once the handle is fully charged, the battery
symbol is completely filled with four bars. A
full charge takes at least 12 hours to complete
and allows for approximately two weeks of
regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).
Please note: If the battery symbol is not
displayed immediately, continue charging. It
will appear in 10–15 minutes.
• When the rechargeable battery is low, the
battery symbol with one remaining bar starts
flashing. Your toothbrush will slow down
and then stop. When the battery is fully
discharged, the empty frame of the battery
symbol flashes. It will then need a 15-minute
charge before you can use it for a 2-minute
brushing.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can
be stored on the charging unit to maintain it at
full power. There is no risk of overcharging the
battery.
• To maintain the maximum capacity of the
rechargeable battery, unplug the charging unit
and fully discharge the handle by regular use
at least every 6 months.
For electric specifications, see printing on the
SmartPlug.
Personalizing the timer
You can choose between the «Professional» or
«2-Minute» timer and a «Count Up» or «Count
Down» timer to meet your specific needs.
The «2-Minute Timer» indicates by a long
stuttering sound and a «smiley» on the
SmartGuide display unit that the dentist
recommended 2-minute brushing time has been
reached. In addition, the «Professional Timer»
helps you brush all four quadrants of your
mouth equally. It signals with a short stuttering
sound at 30-second intervals and the «quadrant
circle» on the SmartGuide display unit that it is
time to move to the next quadrant of your
mouth.
Both timers memorize the elapsed brushing
time, even when the handle is briefly switched
off during brushing. Only when pausing longer
than 30 sec. the timer resets to the initial
starting point.

The «Count Up Timer» displays your actual
brushing time. The «Count Down Timer»
indicates the remaining brushing time. Starting
with «2:00» minutes, it goes down to «0:00».
When brushing longer than two minutes, it
automatically changes to the «Count Up Timer».
Your toothbrush comes with the «Professional
Timer» and the «Count Up Timer» activated. If
you wish to change these settings, proceed as
follows:
• Press and hold the mode button (c) until the
SmartGuide display unit (k) shows «:30» and
«timer».
• By briefly pressing the on/off button (b), switch
to the «2-Minute Timer». Confirm your choice
by pushing the mode button (c).
• This will lead you directly to the «Count Up
Timer» display («up» and «timer» will be
shown). Switch to the «Count Down Timer» by
pressing the on/off button and confirm it with
the mode button.
Please note: it is normal that the handle display
shows two flashing bars when operating in the
timer setting mode.
Brushing
Brushing modes
Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes
for varying oral care needs:
«Clean» – Exceptional mouth cleaning.
«Sensitive» – Gentle, yet thorough
cleaning for sensitive areas.
«Massage» – Gentle stimulation of gums.
«Polish» (deluxe – Exceptional polishing
model only) and natural whitening for
occasional or everyday use.
• When pressing the on/off button your tooth-
brush automatically starts in the «clean»
mode.
• To switch to the other modes, successively
press the mode button.
• To return from any mode to the «clean» mode,
press and hold the mode button.
• To turn your brush off, press the on/off button.
Please note: the «polish» mode (deluxe model
only) is best used with an Oral-B ProWhite
brushhead. Once the Oral-B ProWhite is
attached, press the on/off button and your
toothbrush automatically starts in the «polish»
mode (please see «Brushheads»).
Brushing technique
• Guide the brushhead slowly from tooth to
tooth.
• Hold the brushhead in place for a few seconds
before moving on to the next tooth.
• Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the
outsides, then the insides, finally the chewing
surfaces.
• Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let the
brush do all the work.
When you finish brushing, the total brushing
time will be displayed for 30 seconds before
the display switches back to the time mode.
To directly get to the time mode, clear the
brushing time display by pushing the mode
button.

In the first few days of using any electric
toothbrush, your gums may bleed slightly.
This is usually a sign of pre-existing gum
inflammation. Using your Oral-B Triumph
toothbrush properly should reduce inflammation
and as a result bleeding should stop after a few
days. Should it persist after 2 weeks, please
consult your dentist or hygienist. If you have
sensitive teeth and gums, Oral-B recommends
using the «sensitive» mode.
Brushheads
The Oral-B FlossAction brushhead (a) is
recommended for everyday deep cleaning.
For occasional or everyday polishing, use the
Oral-B ProWhite (j) brushhead (not with all
models). Please note: children under 12 should
not use the Oral-B ProWhite brushhead.
Both brushheads contain a «smart chip» to
communicate with the electronics inside the
toothbrush handle. Therefore, your toothbrush
automatically switches to the appropriate
brushing mode for the attached brushhead.
Nevertheless, you can select other brushing
modes to customize your routine.
Do not use these brushheads with braces. We
recommend using the Oral-B Ortho brushhead,
which is specifically designed to clean around
braces and wires.

Wall mount
If you prefer to mount the SmartGuide display
unit on a wall, mirror or other surface, use
the adhesive tape (m) to fix the wall mount.
Before doing so, make sure the chosen surface
is clean and dry (remove grease and dust first).
Position the wall mount so that the Oral-B logo
is readable. Then press the wall mount evenly
and firmly to the wall. Wait 24h before sliding the
SmartGuide display unit into the fixed wall
mount.

Please note: the adhesive tape will not work on
dirt-repellent surfaces.
Cleaning recommendations
• After brushing, rinse your brushhead
thoroughly under running water.
• Remove the brushhead from the handle and
clean both parts separately under running
water. Then wipe them dry before you put the
handle on the charging unit.
• Before cleaning your charging unit, make sure
you disassemble it first. The charging ring and
the SmartPlug should never be placed in the
dishwasher. However, all other parts (base
station, base plate and protective cover) are
dishwasher-safe.
• From time to time, you can also clean
the charging ring, the SmartPlug and the
SmartGuide display unit with a damp cloth.
The SmartPlug charger and the SmartGuide
display unit should never be placed in water.
Synchronizing
In order to avoid interference of display
messages when using more than one Oral-B
Triumph toothbrush with separate SmartGuide
display units in the same household, you need
to assign the handles to their respective display
units. Please follow the steps below:
• Push the «h/min» button in the battery
compartment for at least 3 seconds. The
SmartGuide display unit shows «L---», in-
dicating the «Learn» mode for synchronization
is activated.
• Now you are requested by a flashing
on/off button in the toothbrush icon on the
SmartGuide display unit to turn the handle on.
When doing so, the automatic synchronization
process starts. It is finished when «L-1-» is
displayed.
• Then turn off the handle.
If you would like to assign a second handle to
the same SmartGuide display unit, repeat the
last two steps described above with the other
handle. You can exit the «Learn» mode by
pressing the «h/min» or «set» button. Otherwise
the «Learn» mode will automatically end after
30 seconds.
Please note:
– A maximum of 2 handles can be
synchronized with one SmartGuide display
unit. After you synchronized the second
handle, «Full» will be displayed.
– When changing batteries of the SmartGuide
display unit, stored data will be erased.
Therefore, please repeat the synchronization
process every time you change the batteries.
Deactivating the radio
transmission
If you want to use or carry your toothbrush in
surroundings where radio controlled appliances
are not allowed (e.g. hospitals or aircraft),
deactivate the radio transmission first.
To do so, simultaneously press the on/off and
mode button for 3 seconds. The handle display
shows the radio deactivation icon. If you want to
