GE Mentor Visual iQ Quick Start Manual

Unpacking the Visual iQ System

1

– The insertion tube (shown in red for clarity)

is held in the case's internal storage reel, which

is accessed through the orange funnel. Install the

insertion tube before installing the probe-and-

handset assembly and remove it after removing the

probe-and-handset assembly. Be sure to straighten

any loops or twists in the insertion tube before

feeding it into the funnel. Note that the insertion

tube's rubber Torsional Strain Relief base should be

routed through the case's curved passage.

2

Battery must be removed prior to installing the

iQ in the case.

3

– A case holding tips (or cleaning kit) fits in this slot.

Caution: Before using the camera system,

always install an optical tip or the head guard.

Powering the Visual iQ On and Off

Press and hold

until the unit turns on. The buttons and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) will light and begin the power-up

sequence. After approximately 45 seconds, the system screen will display live video and on-screen controls. The system

is now ready for use.

Touch the lower left corner of the display screen (which typically contains the on-screen GE Logo (14) or the

key at any time to open or close the Global Menu, which provides access to several features including Shut Down (15).

Select Shut Down to power off the Visual iQ.

Installing the Battery

Note: All batteries are shipped with a partial charge. Batteries

should be fully charged prior to use.

Insert the battery into the handset. The battery is installed

properly when the latching mechanism is engaged. Do not

force the battery (4) into the handset (5), as damage may occur.

The battery is keyed and may only be installed in the proper

orientation.

Removing the Battery

Press battery release button (6) to release the battery.

Battery Charge Level

Check the battery charge by pressing the battery symbol (7) on

the front of the battery. Each light (8) represents approximately

20% of the battery charge capacity. Connect the DC output of

the battery charger into the Visual iQ battery (9) and then plug

the included AC to DC power adaptor into a suitable AC power

source. The LED battery lights will illuminate according to the

amount of charge attained and will turn off when fully charged.

The system may operate while charging.

Caution: Do not remove the battery while the system

is operating.

Attaching and Removing the Probe and Optical Tips

10

– Insert the pin at the base of the handset into the mating groove

at the bottom of the probe.

11

– Rotate the probe towards the back of the handset, applying

enough pressure for the latching mechanism to "click."

12

– Press this latching-mechanic's release button to separate the

probe and handset.

13

– Optical tips are threaded onto the probe with a double set of

threads to prevent them from falling into the inspection area.

To Attach an Optical Tip:

Verify that the optical tip

and camera head threads

are clean, then grasp the

head of the probe with

one hand, and with the

other gently turn the tip

clockwise. Turn until it

spins freely, indicating

that it has cleared the

first set of threads. Gently

push the tip in, then turn

clockwise again, engaging

the second set of threads.

Turn until finger tight.

Caution: Use only finger pressure to remove or attach tips.

Using force (including pliers or other tools) might damage the bending

neck. Take care not to cross the threads. To reduce cross-threading

risk: When installing a tip by hand (6.1mm & 8.4mm) or with an

installation tool (4mm), rotate the tip counter clockwise to level the

threads before rotating clockwise to thread the tip on the camera.

Reverse the leveling process when removing tips.
