EQUIPMENT USE AND CARE

• Do not use this device for personal inspection or medical use in any way. This is not a medical device.
• Unauthorized dismantling or modification of Teslong inspection cameras voids the warranty.
• Before operating a Teslong inspection camera, read and understand the operator’s manual and instructions for any other equipment used with this tool.
• Only use this inspection camera within the approved operating temperature range.
• Failure to follow all instructions and warnings may result in property damage and/or serious injury.
• Maintain your equipment. Check for missing parts, breakage of parts, and any other conditions that may affect the equipment’s operation. Do not continue to use the product if any irregularities are found.
• This unit is not shock resistant. Avoid dropping from heights or any type of impact.
• Teslong devices are water resistant. Avoid submerging the monitor in water – small splashes or light rain should be safe.
• Teslong camera probes are IP67 rated and safe to use in dusty conditions and can be submerged in 1-meter deep water for up to 30 minutes.
• Do not use the unit in the presence of flammable substances or near electrical wiring.
• Do not place the inspection camera probe anywhere that may contain moving parts. This increases the risk of entanglement injuries.
• If smoke or abnormal noise is detected, stop using it and turn off the inspection camera immediately.
• Do not place the inspection camera probe anywhere with a live electrical charge. This increases the risk of electrical shock.
• Do not look directly into the light at the end of the inspection probe. It is extremely bright and could cause eye irritation.
• Using the device for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Use only manufacturer-recommended accessories for your equipment.
• Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and grease. Clean, dry handles allow for better control of the equipment.

ARTICULATING PROBE SAFETY (only for devices with articulating probes)

• Do not over-torque, bend, twist, or fold the inspection probe. Doing so could damage the articulation control wire assemblies and/or electrical wiring.
• Do not yank or attempt to forcefully remove the inspection probe if it becomes stuck inside the equipment being inspected.
• When removing the inspection probe from the inspection area, ensure the bending section is straight. Use the joystick/wheel to straighten the probe before attempting removal.
• Center the joystick/wheel after use to straighten the bending section before storage. The inspection camera should always be stored with the bending section straight (do not force the bending section with your fingers – always use the joystick to adjust and straighten the bending angle.)
• Do not impact the tip of the inspection probe while inserting or maneuvering inside the inspection area.
• Manipulate the articulating probe gently. Rapid movement of the joystick/wheel while inspecting may cause an abrupt impact on the machinery and could result in damage to the camera/LED module.
• Do not force the joystick/wheel! If there is resistance to joystick/wheel movement while you are conducting an inspection, it is due to resistance inside the inspection area. Forcing the joystick/wheel in this situation could damage the articulation control wires, the joystick/wheel assembly, or the equipment being inspected.

FIREARM SAFETY (only for devices designed to inspect firearms)

• Always treat a firearm as if it is loaded, even if you believe it is not.
• Always point the firearm in a safe direction, away from yourself and others.
• Keep your finger off the trigger at all times.
• Remove the magazine and open the chamber to visually confirm that the firearm is unloaded.
• Do not rely solely on the firearm’s safety mechanism to prevent accidental discharge.
• Secure the firearm on a stable surface or in a vise to prevent it from moving during the inspection.
• Your Teslong borescope should fit loosely in the firearm barrel. Do not force the borescope into your barrel. If the borescope is a tight fit, then either the barrel is too small or obstructions in the barrel are preventing it from being used safely.
• Teslong borescopes are designed for the inspection of firearm bores and chambers and should not be used for other uses.
• After the inspection is complete, confirm that the firearm is still unloaded before handling it further.

EQUIPMENT CLEANING

• Turn off and unplug the device before cleaning.
• Clean the camera lens before and after each use with a soft microfiber cloth and a cotton swab to get the best image quality from your inspection camera.
• For stubborn stains, use warm water or rubbing alcohol. Do not use stronger solvents.
• The screen and monitor can be rid of dust and fingerprints by using a microfiber cloth and warm water or rubbing alcohol.
• Never use abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or solvents as they can damage the device’s surface or internal components.
• Avoid getting moisture in any openings or ports of the device.
• Allow the device to fully dry before plugging it in or using it.

EQUIPMENT STORAGE

• Store the device in its plastic case when not in use.
• Store idle equipment out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the equipment or these instructions to operate the equipment.
• Make sure the power is turned off before putting the device into the carrying case.
• When coiling a flexible Teslong camera probe, do not bend the probe into too tight of a radius. Coil the probe gently. If you experience any resistance, then the probe is being coiled too tightly. A good rule of thumb is to not coil it any tighter than it was sent in its original packaging.
• Store the device in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area.
• Keep the device out of direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humid environments.
• Store the device away from sharp objects, heavy items, or anything that could cause damage to it.
