Measurement Considerations
- The probe contains small circuitry that controls the optics and electronics of the camera. To ensure reliability, do not bend the probe more than 90°.
- Do not coil the probe < 6 in. (15 cm) in diameter in use.
- To avoid camera damage, please straighten the neck before removing it from the inspection area. Failure to do so may cause the camera to become stuck in the inspection area.
- The neck, near tip of the probe, is particularly sensitive to excessive force. Never bend the neck by hand; use only the control dial.
- Please keep the probe’s alignment as straight as possible while in use.
- Do not force the control dial when resistance to movement is felt; Damage to the camera can result.
- Do not allow the probe to forcefully impact an object.
- Do not put excessive weight on any area of the probe.
- Never use the probe as a hammer, hook, or other tool.
- Never use the probe tip to clear pathways or to unclog a pipe.

- To protect the camera, keep the lens cap, and other supplied protective coverings, attached when not in use. Store in the original case.
- Straighten the neck angle before placing in storage.
- Avoid direct sun exposure. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
