Operation
Articulating the Viewing Tip
In the 4-way configuration, one thumb lever controls right/left movement and
the other controls up/down. Use caution when bending the insertion tube or
bending section, excessive force can cause damage.
Use the articulation locks if necessary to hold the tip in position once the scope
is in viewing position.
REMEMBER TO RELEASE THE LOCK BEFORE WITHDRAWING THE INSERTION
TUBE.
Inserting the Videoscope:
Before inserting the videoscope into equipment, ensure that the bending
section is straight and the articulation lock is not engaged. The tip should
move freely when the articulation thumb levers are moved.
The more the insertion tube is coiled or bent, the less the tip can articulate.
Maximum articulation is possible when the insertion tube is relatively straight.
When the locks are not engaged, their levers are loose and will move freely.
Pushing the lever until resistance is felt will lock the corresponding thumb
lever.
REMEMBER TO RELEASE THE LOCK BEFORE WITHDRAWING THE INSERTION
TUBE.
