OPERATING, MAINTENANCE &

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

• Never remove the SD card while taking a picture or recording a video. Doing so may

damage the card and erase or corrupt the photo or video.

• If the LCD remains or goes dark, make sure that the console and probe batteries are

adequately charged, and that both components are operating on the same channel.

• If live video begins to look spotty, streaky or intermittent, the likely reason is an under-

charged battery. Plug in the AC adapter/battery charger immediately.

• Avoid using corrosive liquids such as alcohol to clean either the LCD or the camera

head. To clean the camera lens and LEDs, use a cotton swab and a few drops of

water. To clean the LCD, use a soft cloth, cotton swabs and water. To clean the plastic

housings of the console and probe controller, use a soft, dry cloth.

• The probe is flexible to make it easy for you to inspect hard-to-reach areas. Never

insert or bend it by force, and never over-bend any part of the probe. Specifically:

• Do not bend the last 1 to 2 inches

of the probe by more than 70°

• Do not bend the probe at any other point by

more than 90°

• To avoid permanently damaging the delicate

wires and fiber optic cables inside the

probe, never curl it into a circle with a

diameter of less than 6 in.

• The camera head, LEDs and thread protector

ring are waterproof, but not acid-proof or fire-proof. Do not touch acidic, corrosive or

hot materials (see table below) or they will ruin the head.

• Unless you wish to install the 70° mirrored viewing tip, do not remove the thread

protector ring (Fig. 2, Callout 5). Never use the probe without attaching either an

accessory or the thread protector ring to it.

• When inspecting a vehicle, shut off the engine. Metal and liquid under the hood may

be hot. Do not get oil or gas on the camera head.

• If condensation forms inside the camera lens, let it evaporate before using the probe.
