11. Maintain tools with care.
12. Keep tools dry and clean.
13. Properly maintained tools are less likely to
bind and are easier to control. Do not use a
damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not
use” until repaired.
14. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tool’s operation.
15. If damaged, have the tool serviced before

movement of a vehicle can injure or kill. When
working near moving engine parts, wear snug fit
clothing and keep hands and fingers away from
moving parts. Keep hoses and tools clear of
moving parts. Always stay clear of moving engine

Video Borescope and the other end of the cable into
the video-in port of a TV, the LCD screen will output a
high quality real-time image.
Basic Operation
IMPORTANT: Always wear safety eye protection to
protect your eyes against dirt and other objects. Follow
operation instructions to reduce the risk of injury from
electric shock, entanglement and other causes.
FOR WALLS:
For inspecting the inside walls, be sure to shut off the
circuit breaker to the whole house before using the
Video Borescope.
FOR PIPES:
If you suspect a metal pipe could contain an electric
charge, have a qualified electrician to check the pipe
before using.
FOR AUTOMOBILES:
Be 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 imager head.
Set up the Video Borescope and work area according
to these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from
electric shock, entanglement, and other causes and
prevent Video Borescope damage.
1. Check work area for:
a. Sufficient lighting.
b. DO NOT work in area until flammable sources
have been identified and corrected. The Video
Borescope is not explosion proof and can
cause sparks.
c. DO NOT use the Video Borescope while
standing in water.
2. Check the area and determine if the Video
Borescope is the correct Video Borescope
for the job.
a. Check the access points to the area.
b. Check if there is any electric power supplied to
the area to be inspected.
c. Check if the any liquids will be occurred during
the inspection. The Image head and cable were
waterproof to a depth of 10’. Greater depths may
cause leakage into the imager head and cable
and cause electric shock or damage the Video
Borescope. The display unit is not waterproof
and should not be exposed to wet conditions.
d. Check if any chemicals are present, especially
in the case of drains. Chemicals may damage
the Video Borescope.
e. Check the temperature of the area. The
working temperature of the Video Borescope is
between 32°F and 113°F.
f. Check if any moving parts are present in
the area.
3. Make sure the Video Borescope has been
properly inspected.
4. Install the correct accessories for use in the
appropriate application.
NOTE: When in operation, the cable can be bent into a
certain shape. (DO NOT kink the cable) This may help
you operate the cable in confined areas.
1. Hold the Video Borescope with LCD screen facing
you and press Power button to turn it on. Wait for
two seconds, the first screen – a splash screen is
booting up, and then the live screen will display.
2. Press LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to decrease or
increase screen backlighting. You will see a brightness
indicator bar as you adjust LED light intensity.
3. Press Picture Rotation button to rotate the real-
time image.
4. Use the supplied accessories as required.
5. Connect the supplied video-out (TV-out) cable to
the video-out port of the Video Borescope and the
other end of the cable to the video-in port of a TV
to view a high quality real-time image.
Operating Precautions
1. Use the Video Borescope only as directed. Do not
operate the Video Borescope unless the user’s
manual has been read thoroughly and proper
training has been completed.
2. The display unit is not waterproof. The imager
head and cable are waterproof, but not acid-proof
or fireproof. Avoid submerging the imager head
and cable into corrosive, oily places and be sure
to keep the imager head and cable away from
high temperature objects.
3. DO NOT immerse the Video Borescope and
display unit in water.
4. DO NOT use excessive force to insert or
withdraw the imager head and cable. This may
result in damage to the Video Borescope or
inspection area.

5. DO NOT use the imager head and cable to move
items, clear pathways or clogged areas.
6. DO NOT eat or smoke while operating the Video
Borescope. Use hot, soapy water to wash hands
and other body parts exposed to drain contents
after using the Video Borescope to inspect drains
and other areas that may contain chemicals or
bacteria, which will help prevent contamination
with toxic or infectious material.
7. When the inspection is completed, carefully
withdraw the imager head and cable from the
inspection area, and take out the 4 AA dry
batteries.
8. Maintain the Video Borescope with care. A
properly maintained Video Borescope is less likely
to cause injury.
9. DO NOT drop the Video Borescope. If the Video
Borescope is dropped accidently, check for damage
and any other condition that may affect its operation.
10. Dry your hands before operating the Video
Borescope.
11. Use appropriate personal protective equipment
while handling and using the Video Borescope.
Appropriate personal protective equipment
always includes safety glasses and gloves, and
may include latex or rubber gloves, face shields,
goggles, protective clothing, respirators and steel
toed footwear.
12. Protect against excessive heat. Keep the Video
Borescope away from heat sources such as
radiators, stoves or others that produce heat.
Do not use the Video Borescope near moving
machinery or areas where the temperature will
exceed 113°F.
13. Store the Video Borescope and all cables in
a locked area out of the reach of children and
people unfamiliar with Video Borescope.
MAINTENANCE
1. Make sure the power is OFF.
2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the Video
Borescope, especially on the buttons and ports.
This helps prevent the Video Borescope from
slipping from your hands.
3. Inspect the imager head lens for condensation. To
avoid damaging the Video Borescope, do not use
the Video Borescope if condensation forms inside
the imager head. Let the water evaporate before
using again.
4. Inspect the full length of the cable for cracks or
damage. A damaged cable could allow water to
enter the Video Borescope and increase the risk
of electric shock.
5. Make sure the connections between the display
unit and imager head and cable are tight. All
connections must be properly assembled for the
cable to be waterproof.
6. Check if the warning label is present, firmly
attached and readable. Do not operate the Video
Borescope without the caution label.
7. Turn on the power and make sure the splash
screen and then the live screen are displayed.
8. If the Video Borescope does not work properly
after being turned on, please have the Video
Borescope checked by a qualified technician.
Any Video Borescope that cannot be controlled
with the power button is dangerous and must be
repaired.
9. Always store the Video Borescope in a well-
protected area where it will not be exposed to
inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive
dust, or any other harmful elements.
10. When maintaining, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow maintenance instructions may create a risk
of electric shock or injury.
11. DO NOT use acetone to clean the Video
Borescope. Instead, use an alcohol swab. Avoid
rubbing too hard on the LCD screen. After using,
wipe the display unit clean gently with a dry cloth.
12. DO NOT disassemble the tool beyond what is
shown in the manual. Doing so will void your
warranty.
