Safety instructions

General

DANGER! The borescope is not approved for medical applications! It must never be inserted into bodily orifices! There is the risk of life-threatening injuries!

  • If you notice any smoke, unusual noise or strange smells, the device should no longer be used and should be inspected by authorized service personnel. In this case, switch the device off immediately and remove the batteries.
  • Using the product on humans or animals is not allowed. For all personal injury and material damage arising from non-intended use, the operator, not the manufacturer, is responsible!
  • Before each use of the borescope, double-check there is no external damage. If the device is damaged, do not use it.

DANGER! Personal safety

Electrical devices are not suitable for children. Also persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities should only use electrical devices in appropriate circumstances. Never allow children or persons with disabilities to use electrical devices unsupervised. unless they are instructed accordingly and supervised by a competent person responsible for their safety. Children should always be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the product. The product must not be cleaned or maintained by unsupervised children. Small parts can represent choking hazards. If small parts are swallowed, seek medical help immediately. Keep the packaging out of reach. Packaging material is not a toy.
There is a risk of suffocation!

WARNING! Display

Do not apply any pressure to the screen and keep sharp objects away from the screen. A broken screen represents a risk of injury. Wear gloves when collecting the broken parts and contact the manufacturer if necessary.
If fluid does escape, proceed as follows:

  • If the fluid comes into contact with the skin, wipe off with a clean cloth and rinse with plenty of water. Contact a doctor if necessary.

  • If battery fluid gets into the eye, rinse it out with plenty of clean water.
    Then contact a doctor immediately or seek medical attention.

  • If the fluid is swallowed, first rinse the mouth out with water and then drink plenty of water. Contact a doctor immediately!

CAUTION! Operational safety
The casing of the borescope must not be opened, there are no parts requiring maintenance inside. The device must not be subject to any excessive temperature fluctuations as this can lead to the moisture in the air condensing and causing short-circuits. If the device has been exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations, wait for it to reach the ambient temperature before switching it on (about 2 hours).

DANGER! Batteries
Insert the batteries with the correct polarity. Refer to the diagram on the batteries and inside the battery compartment. Do not attempt to recharge any batteries and never throw the batteries into a fire. Do not mix battery types (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.). Remove the batteries when the device is not to be used for an extended period. Improper use may cause explosions and danger to life.
Batteries must never be opened, modified or short-circuited, as this could result in chemicals leaking out which could cause injuries. If the batteries have leaked, remove them to prevent damage to the device. You can wipe off any leaked battery fluid by using a dry, absorbing cloth. Always wear protective gloves! Avoid any skin contact. If the battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical aid.
Batteries can represent choking hazards. Batteries are not toys! Keep batteries out of reach of children. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical help immediately.

CAUTION! Operating environment/ environmental conditions

Keep the main unit (display [1]) away from moisture and make sure that no foreign bodies can enter it. Do not place any recipients containing liquids (beverages, vases, etc.) onto or next to the device. Avoid vibrations, dust and heat and also make sure that no direct sunlight or bright artificial light reaches the device, otherwise the device may be damaged.
Make sure that no fire hazards (e.g. burning candles) are placed on or near the device.
