Avoid positioning the docking station behind the patient's head as the Bluetooth® signal would be
weakest at that position. The docking station can be placed up to 5m (15ft.) away from the PC.
Once the exposure button is pushed and to optimize return time and comfort the user, remove the DC-Air™
sensor from the patient’s mouth, wait for the preview, and reposition the sensor for the next exposure.
With fully charged battery, DC-Air™ sensor can take at least 150 X-ray exposures in a continuous fashion.
After completing an FMX or another X-ray template series and in between patients, the sensor should be placed
back onto its docking station for re-charging. When not in use, the sensor should always be placed back onto
its docking station. For a full recharge, the DC-Air™ sensor requires approximately 70 minutes, while a 20-
minute recharge will allow 40 X-ray exposures to be taken in a sequential fashion.
If left away from the docking station, the DC-Air™ sensor will enter sleep mode after five (5) minutes from the
last X-ray to preserve its battery. In the sleep mode, the sensor can run 12 hours with one battery charge cycle.
To exit sleep mode, place the sensor onto its docking station and leave it there for 10 seconds.
