Errors and faults
The device has been checked for proper functioning several
times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless,
check the device according to the following list.
The displayed image is blurred:
• Check the camera lens for damage or liquid ingress.
• Contact the manufacturer for inspection.
The display remains dark or no picture is shown:
• By switching on the LEDs, check whether the camera head
is supplied with power. If this is the case but the screen
still remains dark, the CCD chip may be damaged.
• Contact the manufacturer for inspection.
Probe tip cannot be bent:
• Carefully unwind the probe completely lengthways to relax
the tension of the probe cable. Try bending the probe cable
in all directions again using the joystick. If this still does
not work or if the probe cable can only be bent in one
direction, one or both Bowden cables may be defective.
• Contact the manufacturer for inspection.
Maintenance and repair
Charging the battery
Charge the battery when the battery indication(18) indicates a
low battery state of charge. Only use the supplied power
adapter or a power adapter with identical specifications for
charging the batteries!
You can also use spare batteries (see Technical Data for battery
type) or non-rechargeable batteries of typeLR61.5VAA.
Cleaning
Clean the device with a soft, damp and lint-free cloth. Make
sure that no moisture enters the housing. Do not use any
sprays, solvents, alcohol-based cleaning agents or abrasive
cleaners, but only clean water to moisten the cloth.
Repair
Do not modify the device or install any spare parts. For repairs
or device testing, contact the manufacturer.
Disposal
The icon with the crossed-out waste bin on waste
electrical or electronic equipment stipulates that this equipment
must not be disposed of with the household waste at the end of
its life. You will find collection points for free return of waste
electrical and electronic equipment in your vicinity. The
addresses can be obtained from your municipality or local
administration. You can also find out about other return options
that apply for many EU countries on the website
https://hub.trotec.com/?id=45090. Otherwise, please contact an
official recycling centre for electronic and electrical equipment
authorised for your country.
The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic
equipment aims to enable the re-use, recycling and other forms
of recovery of waste equipment as well as to prevent negative
effects for the environment and human health caused by the
disposal of hazardous substances potentially contained in the
equipment.
NI-MH
In the European Union, batteries and accumulators must not be
treated as domestic waste, but must be disposed of
professionally in accordance with Directive 2006/66/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 6September 2006
on batteries and accumulators. Please dispose of batteries and
accumulators according to the relevant legal requirements.
