Safety Information
General Warnings
The following warning statements apply to use of the Hawkeye® V3 Video
Borescope in general. Warning statements that apply to specific
procedures appear in the corresponding sections of the manual.
DO NOT allow the Hawkeye® V3 insertion tube, system, or
working tools to come into direct contact with any voltage or
current source. Prevent all contact with live electrical conductors or
terminals. Damage to the equipment and/or electrical shock to the
operator may result.
DO NOT use the Hawkeye® V3 in explosive environments.
USE PROPERLY. Using the Hawkeye® V3 in a manner not
specified by the manufacturer may impair the product’s ability
to protect the user from harm.
General Cautions
The following caution statements apply to use of the Hawkeye® V3 Video
Borescope in general. Caution statements that apply to specific
procedures appear in the corresponding sections of the manual.
HANDLE CAREFULLY. Keep the insertion tube away from sharp
objects that might penetrate its outer sheath. Keep the insertion
tube as straight as possible during operation; loops or bends anywhere in
the insertion tube decrease the ability to steer the probe tip. Avoid
bending the insertion tube sharply.
ALWAYS use the HOME button to straighten the bending neck
before withdrawing insertion tube from the inspection area or
putting the probe away. Never pull, twist, or straighten the bending neck
by hand; internal damage may result. At the first sign of damage, return
the probe for repair.
CHEMICALS MAY DAMAGE THE V3.For a list of substances that
are safe for the V3, see Chemical Compatibility.

Live Screen Mode
The Joystick is used to control the bending neck, capture still images, and

the Bending Neck is articulated, the live image will pan. The
Articulation icon (bullseye; upper left) indicates the bending neck
direction and degree. Red warning bars will appear when near the
end of the travel range in the indicated direction.
___________________________________________________________
UNCOIL the Insertion Tube of the Hawkeye® V3 Video Borescope
before you begin moving the Joystick to articulate the Bending
Neck, failure to do so will decrease the articulation range and may result
in damage to the articulation system.
