Operating Instructions
Launch the App:
Open the "Smart Endoscope" app on your connected mobile device. The live camera feed from the otoscope should appear on your screen.
Adjust LED Lighting:
The otoscope features six built-in LED lights to illuminate the inspection area. These lights are adjustable with 3 levels of brightness. Use the controls within the app to adjust the brightness to achieve optimal visibility.

Achieve Optimal Focus:
The 4.3mm ultra-slim camera has a fixed focus at 2-3 cm (approximately 1 inch). To achieve sharp focus, gently adjust the distance between the camera lens and the area you are inspecting (e.g., the eardrum). Maintain this distance for the clearest image.
Capture Photos and Videos:
Use the dedicated buttons within the "Smart Endoscope" app to capture still images (photos) or record video footage of your inspection. Captured media will be saved directly to your device's gallery or the app's internal storage.
Using Ear Spoons and Specula:
For ear wax removal, attach one of the provided ear spoons or specula to the otoscope tip. Exercise extreme caution and gentleness when inserting the device into the ear canal. Always ensure you have a clear view of the area to avoid injury. Two adult-size and two pediatric-size silicone ear spoons are included for comfort and safety.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Camera Tip and Accessories:
After each use, especially when used for ear or nose inspection, gently clean the camera tip and any attached ear spoons or specula. Use a soft cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol or an antiseptic wipe. Ensure the tip is completely dry before storage. Do not submerge the main unit in water.
