3. Power On the Endoscope: Press and hold the power button on the control unit until the indicator lights illuminate.
4. Connect via Wi-Fi: On your smartphone or tablet, navigate to your Wi-Fi settings. Locate and connect to the Wi-Fi network broadcast by the endoscope (its SSID will typically start with 'LIMINK' or a similar identifier). No password is usually required for the initial connection.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Adjust LED Brightness: Use the dedicated button on the control unit to cycle through the 6 adjustable LED brightness levels. This helps illuminate dark inspection areas.
2. Navigate the Camera: Carefully guide the semi-rigid cable and camera head into the area you wish to inspect. The cable's flexibility allows it to be shaped for optimal viewing angles.
3. Utilize Zoom Function: Within the application, use the digital zoom feature (up to 6x) to magnify details on the screen.

6. Use Attachments: For specific tasks, screw on the hook, magnetic tip, or side mirror attachments to the camera head. The hook and magnetic tip are useful for retrieving small objects, while the side mirror provides an alternative viewing angle.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, especially in dirty or wet environments, gently wipe the camera lens and cable with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Drying: Although the camera head and cable are IP67 waterproof, it is crucial to thoroughly dry them after use in wet conditions. Ensure no moisture remains inside the camera head or connectors to prevent long-term damage.
• Storage: Store the endoscope in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Coil the cable neatly to prevent kinks or damage.
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the device frequently. Charge the battery periodically if the device is not used for extended periods.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Power: If the device does not power on, ensure the battery is fully charged. Connect the endoscope to a power source and allow it to charge for at least 2 hours.
• No Wi-Fi Connection: Verify that the endoscope is powered on and its Wi-Fi indicator light is active. On your phone/tablet, ensure you are connected to the endoscope's specific Wi-Fi network and not your home network. If your phone automatically switches networks, manually reconnect to the endoscope's Wi-Fi.
• Poor Image Quality: Adjust the LED brightness to suit the environment. Ensure the camera's focal distance is within the optimal range of 6-30 cm. Clean the camera lens if it appears smudged or dirty.
• Cannot Navigate Tight Spaces: The semi-rigid cable is designed to hold its shape, but extremely tight bends or very small diameter pipes (e.g., less than 2 inches) may still pose a challenge. Consider using a guide wire or alternative methods for such situations.
• Application Not Displaying Feed: Close and restart the application. Ensure your device's Wi-Fi is stably connected to the endoscope. Check for any available app updates.
