Getting Started
The Schick WiFi system acquires and transmits intraoral X-ray images wirelessly over WiFi. There are two main parts of the system: the
Schick WiFi
Interface
, which provides power to the CDR Elite Sensor and transfers intraoral X-ray images wirelessly, and the
Schick WiFi Docking Station
, which
recharges the battery inside the Schick WiFi Interface and is also used during initial setup.
Refer to the graphics below for the location of the power button, visual indicators, and connections to your Schick WiFi system. The LED at the tip
of the Schick WiFi Interface provides continuous feedback on battery strength and diff erent fl ashing patterns to describe system status.
