5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your DEPSTECH Fiberscope, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning the Lens: After each use, especially in dirty or wet environments, gently wipe the camera lens with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth.
- Water Exposure: The camera probe is IP67 waterproof. After use in water, wipe it dry thoroughly before storage. Do not immerse the cable connector or your connected device in water.
