Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your handle is fully charged using the provided glass charging base; the initial charge typically takes 24 hours. The DiamondClean 8500 is compatible with both iOS and Android smartphones featuring Bluetooth 4.0 or higher. Download the Sonicare app from your respective app store to pair the device.
