OPERATING & MAINTENANCE TIPS
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
(25 to 50mm) 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. (150mm).
Never use the probe or camera head to modify surroundings or to clear
pathways or clogged areas.
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 or they
will ruin the head.
Cover the camera-tipped end of the probe with the protective rubber cap when
not using it.
Unless you wish to install the 110° mirrored viewing tip, do not remove the
thread protector ring (Fig. 1, Callout 4).
Never use the probe as a hammer or to clear debris.
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 again.
Do not try to disassemble any part of the probe. Doing so creates an electrical
hazard, could damage the probe, and voids the limited warranty.
