Operation
Controlling Articulation
CAUTION
Do not use excessive force when turning the control dial, damage to the cam-
era probe can result. Do not attempt to force the flexible neck past its maxi-
mum angle. Stop turning the control dial when the maximum angle is reached.
Turn the control dial (4) clockwise to bend the probe neck to the
right; turn the dial counter-clockwise to bend the neck to the left, as
shown in the image below. The articulation range is 180° maximum,
do not attempt to force the control dial past the bend limit.
For safety and ease of use, straighten the neck before inserting and
removing the probe from the inspection area.

Image Enhancement Button
Use the image enhancement button (5) to add clarity to darker
areas of the camera image.
Rotation Button
Use the rotation button (6) to rotate the image 90°. The button’s
red LED is on when an image is rotated and off when rotation is not
applied.
Button Lock
To lock/unlock the control buttons, move the locking switch (7) to
the right to lock the buttons or move the switch to the left to release
the lock.
Measurement Considerations
• The probe contains small circuitry that controls the optics and
electronics of the camera. To ensure reliability, do not bend the
probe more than 90°.
• Do not coil the probe < 6 in. (15 cm) in diameter in use.
• To avoid camera damage, please straighten the neck before re-
moving it from the inspection area. Failure to do so may cause
the camera to become stuck in the inspection area.
• The neck, near tip of the probe, is particularly sensitive to exces-
sive force. Never bend the neck by hand; use only the control
dial.
• Please keep the probe’s alignment as straight as possible while
in use.
• Do not force the control dial when resistance to movement is felt;
Damage to the camera can result.
• Do not allow the probe to forcefully impact an object.
• Do not put excessive weight on any area of the probe.
• Never use the probe as a hammer, hook, or other tool.
• Never use the probe tip to clear pathways or to unclog a pipe.
Storage and Maintenance
• To clean the probe, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with a mild
detergent and clean water. Do not use abrasive detergents. Do
not use corrosives or solvents to clean the probe. Use a high
quality lens cleaning fluid and a lint-free swab to clean the cam-
era and worklight lenses.

• To protect the camera, keep the lens cap, and other supplied
protective coverings, attached when not in use. Store in the origi-
nal case.
• Straighten the neck angle before placing in storage.
• Avoid direct sun exposure. Store in a cool, dry, and well-venti-
lated area.
• Do not coil the probe < 6 in. (15 cm) in diameter when storing,
damage to the probe may result.
