# Safety instructions

All instructions must be read and observed. The safeguards integrated into the inspection camera may be compromised if the inspection camera is not used in accordance with these instructions. STORE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE.

- Have the inspection camera repaired only by a qualified repair person and only using identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the inspection camera is maintained.

- Do not operate the inspection camera in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dusts. Sparks can be created in the inspection camera which may ignite the dust or fumes.

- Remove the rechargeable battery from the inspection camera before carrying out any work on the inspection camera (e.g. assembly, maintenance, etc.) as well as when transporting and storing the inspection camera.

- Remove the batteries from the inspection camera when not using it for longer periods. The batteries can corrode and self-discharge during prolonged storage.

- Do not direct the light beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the light beam yourself (even from a distance).

- Check the work area before using the inspection camera. No part of the inspection camera may come into contact with electrical cables, moving parts or chemical substances. Interrupt the electric circuit of electrical cables running through the work area. These measures reduce the risk of explosions, electric shock and damage to property.

- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment like protective goggles, protective gloves or a protective mask, if there are substances harmful to health in the work area. Sewers or similar areas can contain solid, liquid or gaseous substances that are poisonous, infectious, corrosive or otherwise harmful to health.

- Pay particular attention to cleanliness if you work in areas with substances harmful to health. Do not eat during work. Avoid contact with substances harmful to health, and clean hands and other body parts that could have come into contact with them with hot soapy water after work. This reduces the danger to health.

- Do not stand in water if you are using the inspection camera. Working in water poses a risk of electric shock.

- Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.

- In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.

- If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flammable liquid may be ejected from the battery. Contact with this liquid should be avoided. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

- The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

- When the battery is not in use, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could make a connection from one terminal to another. A short circuit between the battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.

- Only use the battery with products from the manufacturer. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.

- Only charge the batteries using chargers recommended by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery may pose a fire risk when used with a different battery.

| Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting.

| Keep the magnetic accessories away from implants and other medical devices, e.g. pacemakers or insulin pumps. The magnets in the accessories generate a field that can impair the function of implants and medical devices.

- Keep the magnetic accessories away from magnetic data‌ storage media and magnetically-sensitive devices. The effect of the magnets in the accessories can lead to irreversible data loss.
