INSTALLING ACCESSORIES

iBorescope4 comes with three accessories (see photos below) in a Ziploc bag
that attach to the camera-tipped end of the probe. Each accessory has a
specific purpose:

• The 45° mirror lets the probe see around corners.

• The pickup hook lets you retrieve otherwise

inaccessible items seen by the probe—for example, a
wedding ring accidentally dropped down a sink drain.

• The magnetic hook lets you retrieve lost or dropped

metal objects—nuts and bolts, for example—located
by the probe.

To attach an accessory:

1. Hold its metal stem with your thumb and index finger.

2. Slide the accessory—plastic clasp first—past the camera head at the probe

tip until the clasp is in the channel 1/4 in. from the end of the probe.

3. Squeeze the clasp until you hear a click (see right photos on previous page),

indicating that the two halves have joined.

To detach an accessory:

1. Use the nail of your index finger to unhook the clasp, opening it up.

2. Hold the accessory’s metal stem with your thumb and index finger and slide

the accessory and clasp past the camera head.

3. Put the accessory back in the Ziploc bag it came in.
