Safety instructions

General information

DANGER! The endoscope camera is not approved for medical use! There is a risk of a potentially fatal injury!

• If smoke is produced, or there are any unusual sounds or smells, the device should not be used until it has been inspected by authorised service personnel. In this case, switch off the device immediately and remove the batteries.
  Use of the camera on humans and animals is not permitted. The user, and not the manufacturer, is responsible for any personal injury or material damage resulting from incorrect use.

DANGER! Children and persons with disabilities

Electrical devices do not belong in the hands of children. Persons with limited physical, sensory or mental abilities should also only use electrical devices appropriately. Never allow children or persons with disabilities to use electrical devices unsupervised unless they have been instructed accordingly or are supervised by a person responsible for their safety. Children should always be supervised to ensure that they do not play with this device.

Always keep plastic packaging out of reach also.

It poses a suffocation risk!

DANGER! Screen

Do not exert any pressure on the display and keep sharp objects away from the display. There is a risk of injury if the display is broken. Wear gloves if you are gathering broken parts and contact the manufacturer if necessary. If the screen becomes scratched or damaged in any way, take special care to ensure that no liquid leaks from the screen.

If liquid has leaked, follow the instructions below:

• If the liquid comes into contact with your skin, wipe it off with a clean cloth and rinse the area of contact with a large amount of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
• If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes, rinse them with running water for at least 15 minutes and then go to a hospital immediately. Consult a doctor if necessary.
  If you swallow the liquid, first rinse your mouth with water and then drink a large amount of water. Consult a doctor immediately!

WARNING! Operational safety

The housing of the endoscope camera must not be opened because it does not contain any parts that require maintenance. Ensure that the device is not subject to extreme temperature fluctuations, since this could result in condensation and electrical short circuits. If the device was subjected to extreme temperature fluctuations, however, wait (approx. 2 hours) until the device has reached ambient temperature before use.

DANGER! Batteries

Always ensure correct polarity of the batteries. Please note the markings on the batteries and in the battery compartment. Never try to recharge batteries and never throw them into an open fire. Never use different batteries (old and new, alkaline and carbon, etc.) at the same time. Remove the batteries if you will not

be using the device for an extended period of time. In the event of improper use, there is a risk of explosion and leakage.

Batteries may not be dented or opened as leaking chemicals can cause injuries. In the event of skin or eye contact with chemicals, they must be immediately rinsed with generous amounts of water and a doctor must be consulted. Batteries and small parts may cause choking resulting in death or serious injury. Store the batteries in a safe place. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical help immediately.

WARNING! Operating environment/Environmental conditions

Keep the control panel (TFT screen with handle) away from moisture and ensure that no foreign objects penetrate the device. Never place any objects filled with liquids, for example, vases or drinks, on or near the device. Avoid vibrations, dust and heat, and ensure that the device is not exposed to direct sunlight or bright artificial light. The device could be damaged as a result.

Ensure that no fire sources (e.g. burning candles) are placed on or near the device.

Inserting/replacing the batteries

Ensure that the camera is switched off. The battery compartment [8] is located at the back of the device.

Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing the release mechanism and lifting the cover upwards. The ribbon in the battery compartment is intended to facilitate the subsequent removal of the batteries. When inserting the batteries, make sure that this ribbon runs completely under all 4 batteries and that you can still access the end of the ribbon after the batteries have been inserted.

Insert 4 x 1.5V AA / LR6 batteries with the correct polarity in the battery compartment. Please note the markings in the battery compartment and on the batteries.

1. The end of the ribbon should lie smoothly between the batteries and battery compartment cover.
2. Close the battery compartment by first inserting the two plastic tabs of the battery compartment cover into the slots provided for this purpose on the housing of the endoscope camera.
3. Then press it downwards until it audibly engages.

Attaching/detaching the gooseneck

Proceed as follows:

To ensure the tightness of the screw connection, remove any impurities on the rubber ring (a.) and on the screw thread (b.) with a slightly damp cloth. To maintain the flexibility of the rubber ring, you should lubricate it occasionally, for example, with Vaseline. The gooseneck can only be attached in one direction due to the polarity protection feature. Insert the polarity protection for this purpose into the slot provided (c.).

The goosenec can then be screwed on. Turn the screw connection to the right until it is firmly secured.

To detach the gooseneck, turn the screw connection to the left until it is released. The gooseneck can then be pulled off by exerting a little force.

Use of the device

Switching the endoscope camera on and off

The endoscope camera is switched on and off by pressing the on/off switch [3] for approximately 2 seconds. The power indicator [2] lights up green and, after a short delay, the image is shown on the screen [1].

Lighting

The camera head is equipped with 4 LEDs. This lighting can be switched on with the camera head illumination button [5]. This button can also be used to gradually increase the brightness of the LEDs by pressing it several times. 8 different levels can be set. When the highest level is reached and the camera head illumination button [5] is pressed again, the lighting switches itself off.

Screen brightness

The brightness of the screen can be changed with the brightness adjustment display button [7]. The brightness of the screen is gradually increased when this button is pressed several times. 8 different levels can be set. When the highest level is reached and the brightness adjustment display button [7] is pressed again, the brightness adjustment is reset to the default value.

Changing the display

The camera image can be rotated by 180^ and mirrored vertically or horizontally by pressing the view/rotate image button [4]. This setting enables you to display four different views of your image. If the display is changed, the default display is shown after the camera has been switched off and then switched on again.

Video-out function

You can use this function, for example, to display the images of the camera on a TV. Depending on the device on which you want to perform the playback, you will require a connection cable which must have a 3.5mm jack plug on one side for connecting to the video-out port [9] of the endoscope camera. The other connector may vary depending on your playback device. For further

details, please read the user manual for your playback device. A connection cable is not included in the items supplied with the endoscope camera.

To use the video-out function, proceed as follows:

• Switch off the endoscope camera.
• Connect the video-out port [9] of the endoscope camera to your playback device with a suitable connection cable. Note the corresponding user manual to adjust your playback device correctly.

Note: Please use only a high-quality AV cable with ferrite core (not supplied) in the video output.

The illustration shows a sample photo.

• Switch on the endoscope camera with the on/off switch [3]. The image is now displayed on both the screen of the endoscope camera and on your playback device.

Please note that pressing the view/rotate image button [4] and brightness adjustment display button [7] only affects the screen display of the endoscope camera. Pressing these buttons is irrelevant for the display of the playback device in use, for example, TV.

Screen displays

The following displays are shown on the screen:

a Battery charge level indicator (permanent)
b LED lighting of the camera head (display for approximately 3 seconds when pressing the camera head illumination button [5]).
c Screen brightness (display for approximately 3 seconds when pressing the brightness adjustment display button [7]).

Fitting the attachments

The device is supplied with the following attachments/fixtures:
