Rapid USB Cable Overview
The Rapid USB Cable is used for data transmission and uninterrupted power supply, with an
embedded battery. It is intended to reduce the start-up time by avoiding the power-off and power-on
cycle when moving the camera between computers. When the cable is connected to the computer, the
USB power supply charges the embedded battery. When the cable is not connected to the computer,
the camera is powered by the embedded battery and kept in the power saving mode. If not connected
to the computer within 30 minutes, the camera turns off automatically. The cable can be used with the
Wired USB Intraoral Camera with Firmware 1.1.5.X / 1.0.5.X or above.
