To begin the equipment setup process, Dandy has embedded a step-by-step setup guide directly on your laptop. Start your setup process directly through your laptop and use this article as an additional guide.

Follow the steps below to begin setting up your scanner, account, and much more:

1. Power on your Dandy laptop.
2. On the desktop of the laptop, open the program labeled Chairside.
3. Once opened, the Chairside software will display a welcome message, and walk you through a guided setup including completing information regarding your account, billing, upcoming training, scanner setup and cord configuration, and scanner calibration.

Ensure the steps in Chairside walkthrough are completed at least 72 hours before your scheduled training. A quality assurance test will be conducted by our team 2-3 days before your Launch Training date.

Instructions for Trios 3 Scanner Assembly

Before assembling your scanner, identify which cord configuration, and resulting power source, your scanner uses:

1. Trios3-Wall: a power adapter and cable to plug into a wall outlet 
2. Trios3-PC: a USB-C cable to power the scanner directly from the laptop/PC, not a wall outlet.

Note: both options are the same scanner - they happen to have different wire configurations. Assembly instructions for both cord configurations are included late in this article.

The Trios 3 box contains 2 tiers of equipment and accessories, separated by black foam. The contents are pictured and listed below include:
