The charge indicator on the handle will fash when charging and will turn of when the unit is fully charged. A full charge will last for approximately 1 week of typical use. When the batteries are in need of charging (approximately 30% charge lef) the charge indicator light will blink 8 times quickly afer use to indicate that you should recharge the unit. A complete recharge will take 3-4 hours. If you use your Water Flosser once a day or less, it is recommended you charge it once a week. If you use it twice a day or more, charge the unit more frequently.
- Filling the Reservoir

CAUTION: Do not press tip eject button while unit is running. - Adjusting the Pressure Setting

You can adjust the pressure setting on your Water Flosser by pressing the mode button on the handle. Start with the lowest setting and increase to your liking. - Recommended Technique
Lean low over sink and place tip in mouth. Aim the tip toward the gumline, and turn the unit ON (I). For best results, start with the back teeth and work toward the front teeth. Glide tip along the gumline and pause briefly between teeth. Continue until you have cleaned the inside and outside of both the upper and lower teeth. Direct the jet stream at a 90-degree angle to your gumline. Slightly close lips to avoid splashing but allow water to fow freely from mouth into the sink. Keep unit upright during use for best results.

If desired, the reservoir may be removed from the power handle by sliding the reservoir release latch to the unlock position(1) and then sliding the reservoir down towards the base of the unit(2).

TIP USAGE

- Pik Pocket™ Tip
The Pik Pocket™ tip is specifically designed to deliver water or anti-bacterial solutions deep into periodontal pockets. To use the Pik Pocket™ tip, set the unit to the lowest pressure setting. Place the sof tip against a tooth at a 45-degree angle and gently place the tip under the gum line, into the pocket. - Tongue Cleaner Tip
Set to the lowest pressure setting, place tip in the center/middle of your tongue about halfway back. Pull forward with light pressure. Increase pressure as you prefer. - Orthodontic Tip
To use the orthodontic tip, gently glide tip along the gumline, pausing briefly to lightly brush the area between teeth and all around the orthodontic bracket, before proceeding to the next tooth. - Toothbrush Tip
Place the toothbrush tip in the mouth with the brush head on the tooth at the gum line. The toothbrush tip can be used with or without toothpaste. Using light pressure (bristles should not bend) massage the brush back and forth with very short strokes – much like you would with a manual toothbrush. - Plaque Seeker™ Tip
To use the Plaque Seeker™ tip, place the tip close to the teeth so that the bristles are gently touching the teeth. Gently glide tip along the gumline, pausing briefly between teeth to gently brush and allow the water to fow between the teeth. - Travel Plug
When traveling, place a travel plug-in unit to keep excess water from draining out.
NOTE: Do NOT run unit while travel plug is in unit.

FAQS
Found this in the comments:
“Today I called Waterpik customer service and was advised to disconnect charger from device then hold in power button for 10 seconds then release. Alex at Waterpik customer service said that this would rest the battery. She advised to charge for
6 hours and report back to her whether that solved the problem. It did! Very pleased with the solution.”
The Waterpik is a single unit, no base. The charger attaches magnetically to the front when charging. And it is stored away between charges.
The pic is 110V.
It is not a hard-material-made case. The hard case I bought from Aproca perfect fits this flosser.
You can, but you should avoid using any type of essential oils (be careful that your mouthwash does not contain any) as they will ruin the plastic over time and your waterpik won’t last as long. FYI Listerine contains several essential oils (eucalyptol, menthol, methyl salycilate, and thymol) If you do use mouthwash in your waterpik, be sure to run clean water through after each use to avoid this problem regardless.
The compact cordless models are designed for smaller bathrooms and travel. They have smaller reservoirs, different psi settings and are light weight compared to countertop units.

Yes it can be used in the shower. I rinse it after I’m done so it’s totally wet, not submerged, but wet. Works well since I got it 4 months using it twice daily.
The main differences aside from aesthetics are:
The Cordless Advanced has three settings and the Cordless Select has two
The Cordless Advanced comes with a travel bag and a travel bag. The Cordless Select does not.
They each come with a different type of magnetic charging cord.
It’s like a magnet that you plug into outlet. Just sticks to the outside lower area of the front.
