OPERATING, MAINTENANCE &
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS – H16
• Never remove the SD card while taking a picture or recording a video. Doing so may damage
the card and erase or corrupt the photo or video.
• If the LCD suddenly goes dark, the first two things to check are the integrity of the console’s
connection to the probe and the charge of the console’s battery. The reason for the absence
of video also could be that you have forgotten to remove the red rubber cap protecting the
probe tip.
• If live video begins to look spotty, streaky or intermittent, the likely reason is an under-
charged battery. Plug in the AC adaptor/battery charger immediately.
• Video recording requires an SD card with a fast writing speed. For maximum video quality,
General recommends SD cards with a writing speed of 80X or higher.
• If the console “freezes” (pushing buttons has no effect) like a computer, straighten out
a paper clip and use one end to press the Reset button on the back of the console
(Fig. 1, Callout 15).
• Avoid using corrosive liquids such as alcohol to clean either the LCD or the probe.
To clean the camera lens and LEDs, use a cotton swab and a small amount of cleaning
solution. To clean the LCD, use the provided cloth, cotton swabs and liquid. To clean
the housing of the console, use a soft, dry cloth.
• Operate and store the H16 only in a cool (under 140ºF or 60ºC), dry, well-ventilated place.
Avoid exposing the unit to sunlight for long periods of time.
• To avoid damaging the console, use only compatible probes and accessories.
OPERATING & MAINTENANCE TIPS - P16PIP
The reel operates equally well in a horizontal or vertical position.
The bracket for the H16 (DCS1600) borescope console at the top of the P16PIP has a flexible-
obedient stem that allows the console’s screen to be angled to a comfortable viewing position.
DO NOT BEND
this stem at an angle greater than 90° (see figures on next page).
