SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety 
information. If you do not follow the safety instructions and information 
on proper handling in this manual, we assume no liability for any resulting 
personal injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the

a) Persons / Product
•  The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
•  Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. These may become 
dangerous playing material for children.
•  Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high 
humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
•  Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
•  If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and 
protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if 
the product:
 - is visibly damaged, 
 - is no longer working properly, 
 - has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or 
 - has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
•  Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height 
can damage the product.
•  The main unit is not waterproof and may therefore not be used under water.
•  The endoscope is suited for inspection only in voltage-free systems. The camera 
head is made of metal and can cause short-circuiting.
•  For safety reasons, make sure all system components are voltage-free before 
inspection.
•  Always store the endoscope and all accessories in the case for periods of disuse. 
Sensitive surfaces (with furniture polish, etc.) may react chemically when exposed 
to the housing.
•  Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into 
a warm one. The condensation generated could destroy the product. Always allow 
the product to reach room temperature before use. This may take several hours.
•  The use of electrical devices must be supervised by trained staff in schools, 
training centers, hobby and do-it-yourself workshops.
•  In industrial facilities, heed all applicable accident prevention regulations for 
electrical installations and equipment.
b) Batteries / Rechargeable batteries
•  Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the batteries.
•  Batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long period of 
time to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged batteries might cause 
acid burns when in contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves to 
handle corrupted batteries.
•  Batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave the battery lying 
around, as there is risk, that children or pets swallow it.
•  All the batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new 
batteries in the device can lead to battery leakage and device damage.
•  Batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never
recharge non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion.
c) Miscellaneous
•  Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the 
device.
