Maintenance and repair

Charging the battery
The battery should be charged prior to initial start-up and when the battery is low. The current battery power can be read from the Battery status display (61). When the device is switched off, you can check the battery capacity by pressing the check button (27) for a few seconds. Only use the supplied power adapter or one with identical specifications for charging the battery!

Info
The power adapter may become hot during charging of the battery, particularly if the videoscope is operated while the power adapter is connected. This is normal and does not affect its functioning.

Info
You can supply the device with electricity via the power adapter. To do this, connect the cable of the supplied power adapter to the power adapter connector (29).

Fitting the plug adapter

Adapters for different socket variants are included in the scope of delivery for the power adapter connectors. Before using the system, you have to connect the correct adapter for your mains to the power adapters.

To do so, please proceed as follows:

1. Select the correct adapter from the scope of delivery.
2. Place the adapter straight onto the connector and push it down until it clicks into place.
3. To remove the adapter, press the “PUSH” lever on the power adapter and push the adapter upwards.

Please proceed as follows to charge the battery using the supplied power adapter:

1. Plug the charger into a sufficiently fused power socket. Only use the original power adapter or one with identical specifications, for otherwise both battery and device could be damaged!
2. With the battery inserted, insert the barrel-type connector of the power adapter into the power adapter connector (29) of the VSP Control unit.
   • The device’s charging indicator (41) is illuminated in red.
   • The LEDs of the battery level indication (26) at the rear are flashing.
3. Alternatively, you can remove the battery from the control unit VSP Control and charge it using the separate charging socket and power adapter.
   • Once the battery is completely charged, the LEDs of the battery level indication (26) will be permanently illuminated.

Cleaning
Clean the device with a soft, damp and lint-free cloth. Make sure that no moisture enters the housing. Do not use any sprays, solvents, alcohol-based cleaning agents or abrasive cleaners, but only clean water to moisten the cloth.

Repair
Do not modify the device or install any spare parts. For repairs or device testing, contact the manufacturer.
