6) These recesses allow a user to grasp a sensor clip and detach it from PADDee, without compromising the scan surfaces. The green dot merely indicates that the clip is functional and its battery has power, as opposed to the green dots marked here as '9'. <br> | 6) These recesses allow a user to grasp a sensor clip and detach it from PADDee, without compromising the scan surfaces.

9) These magnetic inserts adhere to matching ones on PADDee itself, holding the sensor clips in place. (They're the same colour as PADDee's sensor surfaces for reasons of aesthetics, but do not have any scanning function.) The bright green dots in the centers of these inserts enable optical data transfer (instead of the wireless required when a clip is detached.)<br> | |||
PADDee benefits from some non-standard anti-hacking protections, but Dueld is extremely cautious about its virtual health all the same, especially given the periodic attacks on databases anywhere with records of Dueld's existence. | PADDee benefits from some non-standard anti-hacking protections, but Dueld is extremely cautious about its virtual health all the same, especially given the periodic attacks on databases anywhere with records of Dueld's existence. | ||
