3. Setup
3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all items are present:
- Main Endoscope Unit with Integrated Display
- Flexible Articulating Probe (3.9mm diameter, 2m length)

3.2 Charging the Device
Before first use, fully charge the endoscope's internal battery. Connect the provided USB charging cable to the charging port on the main unit and to a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port. The charging indicator will illuminate during charging and turn off or change color when fully charged. The device can be used while charging.
3.3 Attaching the Probe
Align the connector of the flexible probe with the corresponding port on the main endoscope unit. Gently push and twist until it is securely fastened. Ensure a firm connection to prevent signal loss during operation.
3.4 Powering On/Off
- To Power On: Press and hold the Power button (usually located on the main unit's control panel) for a few seconds until the display screen illuminates.
- To Power Off: Press and hold the Power button again until the display turns off.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Basic Operation and Navigation
Once powered on, the live camera feed from the probe will appear on the 5-inch IPS LCD display. Use the navigation buttons (up, down, left, right) and the OK/Menu button on the control panel to navigate through menus and select options.
4.2 Articulation Control
The 3.9mm probe features 4-way articulation, allowing the camera tip to bend in multiple directions. Use the integrated joystick on the main unit to precisely control the bending angle of the probe tip. This enables navigation around obstacles and provides various viewing angles within confined spaces.
