6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your DEPSTECH Endoscope.

• Cleaning the Lens and Cable: After each use, especially in dirty or wet environments, gently wipe the camera lens and the semi-rigid cable with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild cleaning solution can be used, but ensure no liquid enters the control unit.
• Storage: Store the endoscope in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Coil the cable loosely to prevent kinks or damage.
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to approximately 50% every few months.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong solvents, abrasive cleaners, or corrosive liquids on any part of the endoscope.
