Before you can use the product, you need to insert the batteries. 4 AA batteries are needed for operation. This description also applies if you have to replace the batteries later.

• First, open the battery lid of the endoscope. It is located at the rear of the main unit. Open the two screws of the battery compartment lid with a Phillips screw- driver (see the two white circles in the image) until they spin. They cannot be removed entirely. Now push the lever (white arrow in the image) in the direction of the arrow. At the same time, lift the battery com- partment lid and take it off of the battery compartment.

• If you want to replace the batteries, remove the old batteries rst.

• Then insert 4 new AA batteries into the battery compartment. Please observe correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-). How to insert the batteries is marked in the battery compartment by illustrations.

• Last, close the battery compartment again. For this, hook the lid at the top in the housing with both guides and fold it shut until the lever latches at the bottom.

• Screw on the two Phillips-head screws hand-tightly again.

• This completes insertion or replacement of the batteries.36 b) Insertion of the memory card You can record pictures and videos with the BS-350XIPSD. They are saved on the micro SD card (not enclosed). Micro-SDHC memory cards up to 32 GB are supported. Now insert the memory card into the endoscope. Switch off the device before starting.

• Pull out the rubber cover on the right side of the device carefully and fold it to the side.

• Push the card into the memory card slot B2 until it latches. The contacts must point down and to the right (see gure).

• Finally, push the rubber cover back into the endoscope. To remove the memory card again, switch off the endoscope rst. Push the card to unlatch it and then pull it from the slot.

Now connect the enclosed endoscope camera to the BS-350XIPSD.

• If you have switched on the device, switch it off again at rst (see

• Push the plug of the camera into the connection of the endo- scope (see arrow). The proper orientation can be told by the guide pin in the plug. When the endoscope is display-up, the pin must also still point up. When pushing on, ensure that you do not bend or break off any pins.

• Turn the closure of the camera plug counter-clockwise (see arrow) until it is tightened hand-tight. The camera plug must no longer move then. To remove the camera again, switch off the BS-350XIPSD rst and screw open the metal closure again (turn -clockwise). Then remove the camera.

• Connect the USB cable to the mini-USB-socket B1 of the endoscope.

• Connect the other end of the USB cable to a free USB port of your PC. The endoscope starts automatically and switches to USB mode.

• Once it has been recognised by the PC, it acts as a card reader and the memory card is recognised on your computer as a removable data carrier.

• You can now copy les from the SD card onto the PC.

The scope of delivery contains three different attachments. Magnetic attachment Mirror attachment Hook attachment

• Place the open plastic ring in the guide at the camera head. Then close the closure. It must latch properly. If the attachment is properly installed, you can turn it but not push it back or forwards.

In purchasing the endoscope, you have acquired a product designed to the state of the art and operationally reliable. Nevertheless, problems or errors may occur. Therefore, we would like to describe to you how to remove possible interferences.

• The batteries may be empty. Open the battery compartment lid as described in chapter 8 a). Check the batteries and replace them if necessary.

• Check that your endoscope camera is properly connected to the endoscope basic device.

• Switch off the endoscope, wait for a few seconds and then switch it on again.

• Check if the Micro SD card is properly inserted.

• The Micro SD card may be full. Check this by either connecting the endoscope to a computer by USB or check the memory card in your card reader. Delete some recordings if necessary.

• The partition of the Micro SD card may be damaged. Use your computer or the respective menu function to format the card (chapter 9 d).

• The Micro SD card may be defective. Check the endoscope with another Micro SD card.
