5. Maintenance

• Cleaning the Lens: Gently wipe the camera lens with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or debris. For stubborn grime, use a lens cleaning solution applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
• Storage: Store the borescope in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Coil the cable loosely to prevent kinks or damage.
• Water Exposure: While the probe is waterproof, ensure the USB connectors are dry before connecting to any device to prevent electrical damage.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1. No Picture Display on Android Phone

If the USB borescope does not show pictures after connecting to an Android phone:

1. Check whether the correct APP "Depstech-View" is downloaded on the Android phone.
2. Check whether the Android phone has OTG function and whether the function is turned on. If the endoscope failed to get access to capture the real-time image, it may be caused by the UVC protocol function of your Android phone being disabled. Please update the Android version or change the phone and try it again.
3. Unplug and plug again. Connect the USB endoscope to an Android phone with the USB connector.
4. Adjust the stepless dimming roller and check if the lens light brightens/dims normally.
5. Exit the APP, reopen the APP, and then connect to the product.

1. Check the correct APP for download: Windows User - APP "Depstech-View" or "Camera". MAC OS User - App "PhotoBooth".
2. Check whether the USB adapter is connected properly and try to reconnect it on the other side of the adapter.
3. Adjust the stepless dimming roller and check if the lens light brightens/dims normally.
4. Connect the USB borescope to the Windows User/MAC OS to see if the image can be generated.
