After you connected main unit and camera cables screw
the locknut directly under the connector of the main unit
and tighten it firmly by rotating it right and upwards (see
figure at right).
Step 3

(camera cable) by firmly tightening it upwards. Please do not force the extension cable into the connectors, but you
should only take care of the notches inside of both connectors. Make sure that the plastic tab at 12 o’clock position
inside the connector of the main unit is plugged in the matching notch (9 o’clock position) inside the connector of
extension cable and vice versa in case of the camera cable (see photos page 5 Step 1). Do not apply violence or

Press the on/off button for 1-2 seconds, to switch on the main unit. Insert the camera cable as straight as
possible into the area which you want to inspect. You should remember that the larger the bending of the
camera cable, the smaller the possible bending angle of the camera head. That means that moving the camera
head right or left is easier with a straight camera cable. The movable end of the camera cable has different
lengths depending on the models (see table page 18). Therefore the diameter of the opening has to be not less
than 1 cm greater as the length of the movable end of the camera head). Otherwise you cannnot properly move
the camera head or it will be too close to the object to be viewed. After inserting the camera cable you should
switch on the illumination .
When pulling out the camera cable please hold the movable end with the camera head as straight as possible.
