• If the console “freezes” (pushing buttons has no effect) like a computer, straighten
out a paper clip and use one end to press the red Reset button on the back of the
console.
• Avoid using corrosive liquids such as alcohol to clean either the console or the
probe. To clean the camera’s lens and LEDs, use one of the supplied cotton swabs
and a small amount of the cleaning solution. To clean the LCD, use the supplied
cloth, cotton swabs and liquid. To clean the housing of the console, use a soft, dry
cloth.
• Operate and store the DCS1700 only in a cool (under 122ºF or 50ºC), dry, well-
ventilated place. Avoid exposing the unit to sunlight for long periods of time.
• To avoid damaging the console’s probe connector, use only compatible probes.
• Never use the probe or camera head to modify surroundings or to clear pathways
or clogged areas.
• The camera head, LEDs and thread protector ring are waterproof, but not acid-proof
or fire-proof. Do not touch acidic, corrosive or hot materials or they will ruin the
head.
• Cover the camera-tipped end of the probe with the protective rubber cap when not
using it.
• Unless you wish to install a mirrored viewing tip, do not unscrew the thread
protector ring from the camera head.
• When inspecting a vehicle, shut off the engine. Metal and liquid under the hood may
be hot. Do not get oil or gas on the camera head.
• If condensation forms inside the camera lens, let it evaporate before using the
probe again.
• Do not try to disassemble any part of the probe. Doing so creates an electrical
hazard, could damage the probe, and voids the limited warranty.
