Original instructions

Keep the magnetic accessories away from implants and other
medical devices, e.g. pacemakers or insulin pumps. The magnets
in the accessories generate a field that can impair the function of implants and medical devices.

Keep the magnetic accessories away from magnetic data storage media and
magnetically-sensitive devices. The effect of the magnets in the accessories can lead to irreversible data loss.

Product Description and Specifications

Please observe the illustrations at the beginning of this operating manual.

Assembly

Power supply

The inspection camera can be operated with commercially available batteries. To open the battery compartment cover (17), press on the locking mechanism (16) and remove the battery compartment cover (17). Insert the batteries. When inserting the batteries, ensure that the polarity is correct according to the illustration on the inside of the battery compartment. Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same manufacturer and which have the same capacity. Remove the batteries from the inspection camera when not using it for longer periods. The batteries can corrode and self-discharge during prolonged storage.
Note: The ribbon (20) in the battery compartment is used to conveniently remove the batteries.

State of charge

In photo mode, the state of charge of the batteries is shown in the status bar whenever a button is pressed. When the battery symbol is empty, you have to replace the batteries because inspections are no longer possible.

Fitting the Mirror, Hook or Magnet (see figures A and B)

The mirror (22), the hook (23) or the magnet (25) can be fitted on the camera head (10) as accessories. Hook the mirror (22) or hook (23) into one of the two holes (9) on the camera head (10) and fit the sleeve (24) for attaching the accessory (see figure A). Push the magnet (25) into the sleeve (24) and hook it into one of the two holes (9 ) on the camera head (10). Fit the sleeve (24) for attaching the accessory (see figure B).
Note: The magnet (25) and the hook (23) 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.

Operation

Protect the inspection camera against moisture and direct sunlight. The camera cable and camera head are watertight. However, the handheld device and the batteries are not protected against water. If they come into contact with water, there is a risk of electric shock or damage.
Do not use the inspection camera if the lens on the camera head (10) has fogged up. Switch the inspection camera on only if the moisture has evaporated. The inspection camera may otherwise become damaged.
The switched-on light (11) can become hot during operation. To avoid burns, do not touch the light.
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. In case of large variations in temperature, allow the inspection camera to adjust to the ambient temperature before putting it into operation.

Starting Operation

Switching On and Off
To switch on the inspection camera, press the on/off button (4). Photo mode (13) appears on the display (7) (magnification 1.0 and illumination 50 %). To switch off the inspection camera, press and hold the on/off button (4) for more than 3 seconds. If no button on the inspection camera is pressed for approx. 20 minutes, then the inspection camera will automatically switch itself off to preserve battery life.

Photo mode
After being switched on, the inspection camera is in photo mode (13). To switch from gallery mode to photo mode (13), press the (2) button. Pressing the (2) button again actuates the shutter release. A maximum of 8 images can be saved to the inspection camera’s local memory. Every further image that is taken deletes the oldest image in the local memory. If more than 8 images are to be saved, a micro SD card (4 GB–32 GB) must be inserted into the slot (18). When a micro SD card in FAT32 format is inserted, all images are automatically transferred from the local memory to the micro SD card and deleted from the local memory. All further images are saved on the micro SD card. All images are automatically saved in the “Bosch” folder.

Note: All images are saved in their original state, i.e. without magnification or rotation.
Note: If an image was taken with black and white contrast, it cannot be called up in colour

Gallery mode
Pressing the (1) button opens gallery mode ( 1 4). The (6) and (5) buttons can be used to scroll backwards or forwards through the images you have taken. Briefly pressing the on/off button (4) shows the (h) and (i) symbols on the display. Pressing the (5) button deletes the image. Pressing the (6) button stops the deletion process. Briefly pressing the on/off button (4) reactivates gallery mode (14). Pressing the (1) or (2) button switches to photo mode (13).

Status bar
The status bar (b) is shown on the display for approx. 3 seconds each time a button is pressed. It shows:

Photo mode (a) (brightness/black and white contrast) or gallery mode (e)
The selected magnification (c)
The state of charge of the batteries (d)

Setting the Brightness and the Black and White Contrast in the Camera Head Switching the camera on also switches on the illumination light (11) in the camera head. The set brightness is 50 %. To brighten the camera image, you can adjust the brightness or the black and white contrast. This adjustment can be set to one of four levels (100 %, black and white contrast, 0 %, 50 %). Press the (6) button repeatedly until the required brightness level has been reached or the black and white contrast has been set.

Note: The set brightness is 100 % for black and white contrast.
Do not look directly into the light (11) and do not direct the light onto other people. The light can blind your eyes.
To reduce brightness and switch off the camera light (11), press the (6) button repeatedly until the required brightness level has been reached or the light has been switched off.

Magnifying the image in the display (zooming in)
Briefly pressing the magnification button (5) magnifies the image in the display by a factor of 1.5 or 2.

Rotating the Image on the Display
The (3) button rotates the image on the display through 180°.

Transferring Images
It is possible to transfer images by inserting a micro SD card (19) in FAT32 format. When the formatted micro SD card (19) is inserted, all images are automatically transferred from the local memory to the micro SD card (19) and deleted from the local memory.

Inserting the Micro SD Card
Only use micro SD cards between 4 GB and 32 GB which support FAT32 format. If necessary, format the micro SD card (19) in FAT32 format before inserting it. Insert the formatted micro SD card (19) all the way into the slot (18).

Working Advice
Check the environment that you want to inspect, paying particular attention to obstacles or hazardous areas. Bend the camera cable (8) so that the camera head can be easily introduced into the environment to be inspected. Carefully introduce the camera cable. Adjust the brightness of the camera illumination light (11) so that the image is easily recognisable. 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 (10) and object.
