Instructions for the use of videoscopes
The videoscope is a precision instrument. For this reason,
please observe the following instructions and precautions when
using videoscopes:
• The probe is a precision component. Impact, compression,
shock and pulling on the device can cause damage to the
lens or light source.
• Avoid excessive bending, stretching, twisting and rolling of
the probe cable as this may damage it and affect the
function of the device.
• An extended use of this product may cause stains on the
lens due to previous contamination, which in turn may
result in blurred images during data collection. Use alcohol
or acetone to clean the lens before use.
• Do not use the probe in inadmissible liquids. Clean the
entire probe cable including the lens head immediately
after use to prevent corrosion.
• If the device shows unusual reactions during operation,
e.g. a flickering picture due to electromagnetic
interference, stop the current operation immediately and
switch off the device. Contact the supplier.

Information about the device
Device description
The videoscope BO21 serves for inspecting concealed machine
components and poorly accessible or inaccessible hollows.
The camera is connected to the device via a flexible gooseneck
probe.
The probe is water-proof and can be immersed in water along
with the camera head, e.g. to check whether there are any
objects underneath the surface (e.g. for leak detection or
drainage or sanitary work).

Disposal
Always dispose of packing materials in an environmentally
friendly manner and in accordance with the applicable local
disposal regulations.
The icon with the crossed-out waste bin on waste
electrical or electronic equipment is taken from Directive
2012/19/EU. It states that this device must not be disposed of
with the household waste at the end of its life. You will find
collection points for free return of waste electrical and electronic
equipment in your vicinity. The addresses can be obtained from
your municipality or local administration. You can also find out
about other return options that apply for many EU countries on
the website https://hub.trotec.com/?id=45090. Otherwise,
please contact an official recycling centre for electronic and
electrical equipment authorised for your country.
The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic
equipment aims to enable the re-use, recycling and other forms
of recovery of waste equipment as well as to prevent negative
effects for the environment and human health caused by the
disposal of hazardous substances potentially contained in the
equipment.
In the European Union, batteries and accumulators must
not be treated as domestic waste, but must be disposed of
professionally in accordance with Directive 2006/66/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 6September2006
on batteries and accumulators. Please dispose of batteries and
accumulators according to the relevant legal requirements.
Only for United Kingdom
According to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Regulations 2013 (SI2013/3113) (as amended) and the Waste
Batteries and Accumulators Regulations 2009 (SI2009/890) (as
amended), devices that are no longer usable must be collected
separately and disposed of in an environmentally friendly
manner.
