- Charging the Device: Before first use, fully charge the endoscope using the provided USB charging cable. Connect the cable to the device's charging port and a compatible USB power adapter (not included). The battery indicator on the screen will show charging status.

4. Operating Instructions
The endoscope is designed for immediate use upon powering on, without the need for external applications or Wi-Fi connections.
- Adjusting LED Lights: The camera features 8 adjustable LED lights. Use the dedicated light adjustment button (often indicated by a sun or lightbulb icon) to cycle through different brightness levels to achieve optimal illumination in dark environments.
- Zoom Function: The device supports a 2X optical zoom. Use the zoom buttons (often indicated by '+' and '-' magnifying glass icons) to magnify the image on the screen for closer inspection of details.
- Navigating the Camera Cable: The 16.5-foot (5-meter) semi-rigid cable is designed to be both stiff and flexible. This allows you to bend and shape the cable to navigate through pipes, crevices, and other confined spaces while maintaining its form.
- Optimal Focusing Distance: For the clearest images, maintain a focusing distance of 2cm to 10cm (0.8 inches to 3.9 inches) from the object being inspected.

5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, gently wipe the camera lens and cable with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring no liquid enters the main unit. The camera probe is IP67 waterproof, but the main unit is not.
- Charging: Recharge the device when the battery indicator shows low power. Avoid completely draining the battery for prolonged periods to maintain battery health.
- Storage: Store the endoscope in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Coil the cable neatly to prevent kinks or damage.
