The green light flashing on the Carestream DENTAL CS 1500 camera indicates that it is not connected or not communicating properly with the workstation. To connect it:

1. Use the proprietary USB cable that came with the camera.
2. If it's a wired camera, connect it directly to the computer using the rapid USB cable.
3. If it's a wireless camera, ensure it is paired with the dock station, which acts as the communication hub.
4. Make sure the CS Acquisition Interface is installed (check via Windows Control Panel).
5. In the CS Imaging Software, go to Options -> Preferences -> Camera, and make sure the video capture source box is checked.
6. Reinstall the acquisition software if needed.

This should establish communication and stop the green light from flashing.
