our Viewer APP). Plugs in to USB port. See separate instructions for WiFi
operations.

Warranty Information Inspection Systems
All products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship for one
year from date of purchase.
All products are individually tested prior to shipment. Damage due to
negligence, abnormal usage, accidents,or alteration is not covered by this
warranty. Examples of damage not covered by warranty:
Help prevent repairs, see our Care Tips back cover
Damaged Camera Head Connector Ends
For PGR systems: see back page for how to care for the camera head connection.
For our older systems with pin connectors on the camera head, we recommend
keeping the head attached to the push rod at all times to avoid accidental
damage.
Damaged or Broken Connection Pins
For current PGR systems with a patch cord:
- See how to connect to control box, pg 1.
- The patch cord should NOT be disconnected from the push rod reel. Check occasionally to make sure it is snug.
Broken Sapphire Window
The sapphire is nearly as hard as diamond; however it can break with extreme
impact, especially on sharp edges of broken concrete or clay tile. Using our
IceBall, Snoball or other protective guides greatly reduces impact to the
camera head.
Damaged Pushrod
The camera should not be forced through blockages. This can cause the wires
inside the push rod to become kinked, buckled or severed. Guides and running
water can help reduce friction as you push the camera through a pipe.
Controls and Ports
Operating the System
BASICS
We strongly recommend doing a test recording BEFORE you perform your first
inspection in the field.
Keep the shipping caps that are on the ends of the camera head and the push
rod. Use them to protect these connections whenever you remove the camera head
in the future.
