WARNING: This product is not a toy. Keep away from children under 12 years old.
This otoscope camera is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. Consult a medical professional for any health concerns.

Troubleshooting
- Blurry Image: Ensure the camera lens is clean. Wipe with an alcohol prep pad or a cotton swab. Adjust the focal distance (optimal at 0.4-1.2 inches).
