General Cautions
The following caution statements apply to use of the
Hawkeye V3 Videoscope device in general. Caution
statements that apply specifically to particular
procedures appear in the corresponding sections of
the manual.
HANDLE PROBE CAREFULLY. Keep the
insertion tube away from sharp objects that
might penetrate its outer sheath. Keepthe whole
insertion tube as straight as possible during
operation; loops or bends anywhere in the tube
decrease its ability to steer the probe tip. Avoid
bending the insertion tube sharply.
Note: Always use the Home button to straighten
the bending neck before withdrawing insertion
tube from inspection area or putting 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.
Certain substances may damage the probe. For
a list of substances that are safe for the probe,
see “Chemical Compatibility” in the Appendix.
