The following warning statements apply to use of the system in general. Warning statements that apply specifically to particular procedures appear in the corresponding
sections of the manual.
Do not allow the conductive insertion tube, system or its working tools to come in direct contact with any voltage or current source. Prevent all contact with live electrical
conductors or terminals. Damage to the equipment and/or electrical shock to the operator may result.
Do not use this system in explosive environments.

General Cautions
The following caution statements apply to use of the Visual iQ device in general. Caution statements that apply specifically to particular procedures appear in the corresponding
sections of the manual.
Before using the camera system, install an optical tip or the head guard, which prevents damage to the tip-attachment mechanism. Keep the head guard on whenever no
optical tip is in place.
Handle the Probe Carefully: Keep the insertion tube away from sharp objects that might penetrate its outer sheath. Keep the whole insertion tube as straight as possible during
operation; loops or bends anywhere in the tube decrease its ability to steer the probe tip. Avoid bending the insertion tube sharply.
Note: Always use the Home function to straighten the bending neck before withdrawing insertion tube from an inspection area or putting probe away. Never pull, twist, or
straighten the bending neck by hand; internal damage may result. At the first sign of damage, return the probe for repair.
Certain substances may damage the probe. For a list of substances that are safe for the probe, see
