6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your endoscope:

  • Cleaning: After each use, especially in dirty or wet environments, gently wipe the camera lens and the cable with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure the lens is free of debris or smudges for clear image quality. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Storage: Store the endoscope in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Coil the cable neatly without sharp bends or kinks to prevent internal wire damage.
  • Waterproof Rating: The IP67 rating provides protection against temporary immersion in water. However, avoid prolonged submersion or exposure to high-pressure water jets, as this may compromise the seal over time.
