Getting Started

3. Press and hold the POWER button on the otoscope for a few seconds to turn it on.
4. Open the installed APP on your mobile device and the otoscope will begin capturing HD quality images and video.

Using the Otoscope

1. Adjust the LED ring light on the otoscope by choosing one of the 3 levels of brightness to get the best view of your inner ear.
2. Insert the super thin 4.3mm camera tip into your ear. Note that the camera is compatible with all family members (adults, children, and pets) but is not safe for use on babies.
3. Use one of the 3 included speculums to prevent over-insertion and ear injuries. Disinfect the speculums with alcohol or at 212℉ for 5 minutes after each use.
4. Ensure a 1-inch (2.5cm) focal distance between the camera lens and your inner ear for the sharpest images. This also prevents injury by keeping the otoscope probe away from your delicate eardrum.
5. Use the 4 sizes of silicone ear picks to aid in the comfortable removal of earwax without scratching.
