6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Adjusting LED Brightness
Use the LED Brightness Controller (2) on the control unit to adjust the intensity of the LED lights around the camera lens. This helps illuminate dark inspection areas and can improve image clarity by reducing glare.

6.2. Using Attachments
The included hook, magnet, and mirror attachments can be screwed onto the tip of the camera probe for various applications. Ensure they are securely fastened before use.
6.3. Capturing Images and Videos
Within the "DEPSTECH-View" app, you will find buttons to capture still images and record videos. These files will be saved directly to your connected smartphone or tablet's gallery.
6.4. Optimal Viewing Distance
The endoscope camera has a fixed focus. For the clearest images, position the camera approximately 1.2 to 3.9 inches (3 to 10 cm) from the object you are inspecting. Objects outside this range may appear blurry.

6.5. Applicable Scenarios
The DEPSTECH WiFi Endoscope is suitable for various inspection tasks, including:
- Automotive inspection (engine, exhaust, chassis)
- Plumbing inspection (pipes, drains)
- HVAC inspection (ducts, vents)
- Home inspection (walls, ceilings, behind appliances)

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning the Camera Lens: Gently wipe the camera lens with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a small amount of lens cleaner on the cloth. Do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Cable: The semi-rigid cable can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before storage.
- Storage: Store the endoscope and its accessories in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it in its original packaging or a protective case to prevent damage.
