Maintenance

• Cleaning the Camera Head: After each use, especially in dirty environments, gently clean the camera lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure no debris obstructs the lens or LEDs.
• Cable Care: Always coil the fiberglass cable neatly onto the reel after use to prevent kinks or damage. Avoid sharp bends or excessive force.
• Battery Storage: For long-term storage, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) and store the device in a cool, dry place. Avoid fully discharging the battery for extended periods.
• General Cleaning: Wipe the monitor and main unit with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Troubleshooting

• No Power: Ensure the battery is fully charged. Check the charger connection. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement.
• No Image on Screen: Verify that the camera cable is securely connected to the monitor. Check if the camera lens is clean and unobstructed.
• Poor Image Quality: Adjust the LED brightness using the 'LED-' and 'LED+' buttons. Clean the camera lens. Ensure the protective cover is correctly installed and not blocking the view.
• Recording Issues: Check if the TF card is properly inserted and has sufficient free space. Ensure the TF card is not corrupted. Format the TF card if necessary (refer to monitor menu for options).
• Cable Does Not Extend/Retract Smoothly: Inspect the cable for any physical damage or kinks. Ensure the reel mechanism is free of obstructions.
