with camera display, with AutoUp function, average display brightness, illumination light with 50% brightness D) with GBA12V2.0Ah E) Depends on battery in use Assembly Power supply The inspection camera can be operated either with aBosch lithium-ion rechargeable bat- tery, with commercially available non-rechargeable batteries or with commercially avail- able NiMH rechargeable batteries. The battery charge indicator(d) will indicate the state of charge of the Li-ion battery, non-rechargeable batteries or NiMH batteries on the display. Operation with Battery Adapter (seefigureA) The non-rechargeable or NiMH rechargeable batteries are inserted into the battery ad- apter. u The battery adapter is intended only for use in designated Bosch inspection cam- eras and must not be used with power tools. To insert the non-rechargeable/rechargeable batteries, slide the receptacle(22) of the battery adapter into the bay(21). Place the non-rechargeable/rechargeable batteries in the receptacle as shown in the picture on the cap(24). Slide the cap over the cover until you feel it click into place and it is flush with the handle of the inspection camera. To remove the non-rechargeable/rechargeable batteries, press the release buttons(23) of the cap(24) and pull off the cap. Pull out the cover(22) from inside the port(21). Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same man- ufacturer and which have the same capacity. u Remove the non-rechargeable/rechargeable batteries from the inspection cam- era when not using it for longer periods. The batteries and rechargeable batteries can corrode and self-discharge if stored for prolonged periods in the inspection cam- era. Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 89L | (17.03.2023)30 | English Operation with Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery (seefigureB) u Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only these battery chargers are matched to the lithium-ion batteries of your inspection camera. Note: Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are supplied partially charged according to in- ternational transport regulations.

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery Protect the battery against moisture and water. Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to 50°C. Do not leave the bat- tery in your car in the summer, for example. A significantly reduced operating time after charging indicates that the battery has de- teriorated and must be replaced. Follow the instructions on correct disposal. Fitting the camera cable (seefigureC) For operation of the inspection camera, the camera cable(1) must be fitted on the hand- held device(13). Push the connector of the camera cable(1) onto the camera connection(25) in the cor- rect position until it clicks into place. Removing the camera cable (seefigureD) To remove the camera cable(1), press the locking mechanism(26) and pull the con- nector out of the handheld device(13).

Note: The magnet(27) and the hook(28) are only suitable for moving and removing loose, small and light objects. The inspection camera or the accessory can be damaged with too strong a pull. 1 609 92A 89L | (17.03.2023) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 31 Operation u Protect the handheld device and the rechargeable battery or battery adapter from direct sunlight. Protect the rechargeable battery or battery adapter against moisture. The camera cable(1) and camera head(2) are watertight if assembled cor- rectly; the handheld device(13) is splash-proof. However, the rechargeable battery(14) and the battery adapter are not protected against water. If they come into contact with water, there is a risk of electric shock or damage. u Do not use the inspection camera if the lens on the camera head(2) has fogged up. Switch the inspection camera on only if the moisture has evaporated. The in- spection camera may otherwise become damaged. u The switched-on light(3) can become hot during operation. To avoid burns, do not touch the light. u Do not subject the inspection camera to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature. For example, do not leave it in a car for extended periods of time.

Working Advice Check the environment that you want to inspect, paying particular attention to obstacles or hazardous areas. Bend the camera cable(1) so that the camera head can be easily introduced into the en- vironment to be inspected. Carefully introduce the camera cable. Adjust the brightness of the camera illumination light(3) so that the image is easily re- cognisable. When photographing highly reflective objects, for example, you can achieve better results in lower light or using black and white contrast setting. If objects to be inspected look blurred, then reduce or increase the distance between camera head(2) and object. 1 609 92A 89L | (17.03.2023) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 35 Errors – causes and corrective measures Error indicator in the display Cause Corrective measures (yellow warning) Internal memory al- most full Delete the files from the internal memory or in- sert a micro-SD card(20).
