6.2 Adjusting LED Brightness
Use the dedicated brightness control buttons (often marked with a sun icon or +/-) on the main unit to adjust the intensity of the 8 LED lights on the camera head. There are multiple brightness levels to suit different inspection environments.
6.3 Zoom Function
The device supports digital zoom. Use the zoom buttons (often marked with a magnifying glass icon) to magnify the image on the screen. This can help in examining fine details. The zoom levels are typically 1.0x, 1.5x, and 2.0x.
6.4 Image Rotation
If the image on the screen appears inverted or sideways, use the image rotation button (often marked with a 180° arrow) to adjust the orientation. This allows for comfortable viewing regardless of the camera's physical orientation.
6.5 Using the Semi-Rigid Cable
The semi-rigid cable can be bent and shaped to navigate around obstacles. Gently guide the camera head into the inspection area. The cable will retain its shape, allowing for precise positioning.

8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Low battery. | Charge the device fully using the provided USB cable. |
| Image is unclear or blurry. | Incorrect focal distance; insufficient lighting; dirty camera lens. | Adjust the distance between the camera and the object (optimal 2-10cm). Increase LED brightness. Clean the camera lens. |
| Image is inverted or sideways. | Incorrect image orientation setting. | Press the image rotation button (180° icon) to correct the orientation. |
| Cannot push cable through tight bends. | Cable rigidity limits sharp turns. | The semi-rigid cable has limitations for very sharp 90-degree bends. Attempt to gently maneuver or find an alternative entry point if possible. |
