3.5. Operation Precautions
• Please read the safety instructions thoroughly before operation, choose a proper working area to reduce
the risk of accidents.

• The probe is flexible, which helps you to get to hard-to-reach areas. Please don’t insert or bend the
camera probe by force. Please do not over bend the probe (normally, the bending radius should more
than 5cm), so as not to cause permanent damage to the probe.
• Don’t use the probe or camera head to remove barricades, clear pathways or clogged areas. It must not
be used as a fishing rod or tape.
• The hand-held LCD display is not waterproof. The camera head and its cover are waterproof, but not
acid-proof or fireproof. Touch with these materials will damage the camera head’s protective plastic. Do
not immerge the camera head into corrosive, oily places or contact high-temperature objects.
• Don’t place the inspection into anything or anywhere that may contain a live electrical charge. Please
check following methods to avoid injury.
For walls: For inspecting inside the walls, make sure the electricity of the whole house is shut down before
using the tool.
For pipes: If you suspect a metal pipe could contain an electrical charge, have a qualified electrician to
check the pipe before using. Ground circuit, in some cases, can be returned to the cast aluminum pipes and
cause them to be charged.
For automobiles: Make sure the automobile is not running during inspection. Metal and liquid under the
hood may be hot. Don’t get oil or gas on the camera head.
