Software and Installation
To use the MT4095 with a mobile device, download the free OTG VIEW app from the Google PLAY store or from the Media-Tech website. For PC use, install the ViewPlayCap software from the included CD.

Starting and Usage
Only the camera and flexible cable can be immersed. The remote control is not waterproof. The USB endoscope is intended for inspecting non-electrical devices. The metal camera head can cause short circuits, so always disconnect the unit from the power supply before inspection. Do not exceed the minimum bending radius of 60 mm to avoid damaging the device.

- Follow Windows instructions to install drivers for the endoscope.
