directly into the light of the distal end, this can cause permanent damage to
your retina.
Setting of white balance
Perform white balance before using the system.
To perform the white balance, hold a white, non-reflecting object, such as a
white sheet of paper, about 20mm to 40mm in front of the lens. Than push white
balance button at the device. The image is frozen for a few seconds. After that
the white balance is done.
White balance is used to adjust the camera to the color temperature of
the light source.

Checking the deflection unit and control.
First, lay the probe out straight. To check the mobility of the deflection unit, first
move the control lever U/D from one maximum position to the other so that the
deflection unit moves in a vertical plane. Then set the control lever to the neutral
position again.
Move the control lever R/L (only X4U) analogously so that the deflection unit
moves in a horizontal plane. Then return the control lever to the neutral position.
● Caution
If problems occur during this check, discontinue use and contact our
technical service.

4. System operation
Rotating the display unit
X2U X4U
Control the deflection of the endoscope
The deflection unit can be moved in two planes (see figure) using the control
levers.
The figure shows the operating levers in the "neutral" starting position. In this
position, the angular deflection unit is straight.

Page | 18
Passing bends
Expansion and bending of the object to be examined must be large enough to
allow the movement of the bending unit and the probe head. Prior to inspection,
the general feasibility shall be checked visually or by means of a design
drawing.
The procedure described below must be carried out analog to the described
procedure for each bending. If resistance or other problems occur, the probe
must be carefully withdrawn.
Figure A
Under observation via the display
the probe is careful inserted until the beginning
of the bend.
Figure B
With simultaneous observation via
the display move the angular deflection unit
through the bend of the cavity.by means of the
control levers
Figure C
The insertion process is to be continued under
observation on the display
The angle of the deflection unit
must be adjusted to the curvature of the object
bit by bit during the further course of
insertion process.

Figure D
After passing the bend
the angular deflection unit is returned to the
neutral
position using the operating levers.
Retracting the endoscope
When retracting the endoscope, the deflection unit must first be straightened,
i.e. the control levers must be positioned in the neutral position.
By observing the display and moving the operating levers accordingly, an even
distance between the probe head and the walls of the room must be maintained
during the return process.
● Caution
Both control levers of the deflection unit must be brought into the neutral
position before retracting the probe!
● Notice
If there is resistance during retraction, it is advisable to rotate the probe
slightly in both directions around its longitudinal axis and move it carefully
back and forth until the probe is released.
