on the probe aligns with the slot in the borescope.
The probe will only connect one way.
3.2.2 With the probe pushed firmly in, screw the sleeve (Fig.1.3) on the
main body, onto the probe to secure it in place.
3.3
Probe Attachments
3.3.1 There are three attachment for this borescope, a hook, a magnet
and a 45° mirror
(Fig.1.9/10/11)
.
3.3.2 Each attachment is connected the same way - by pushing onto the
end of the probe untill it ‘clicks’.

charging port. Fig.3.7.
3.4.2 When charging, the indicator LED (Fig.3.5) will illuminate RED
.
When fully charged the indicator LED (Fig.3.5) will illuminate
GREEN
.
When the battery is low the LED indicator light will flash GREEN.
3.4.3 The LCD screen can be used wireless (up to 10 metres) or can be
attached to the rear of the borescope. Align the screen and
borescope contacts (Fig.3.4) and slide downwards to secure. See
Fig.4.
NOTE!
When the LCD Screen is attached to the rear of the borescope only
the power from the rechargeable lithium-ion battery in the screen
is used, therefore prolonging the life of the AA batteries in the
borescope.
