cause the battery to explode, so do not dispose of in a fi re. Some
countries have regulations concerning battery disposal. Please follow all
applicable regulations.
Personal Safety
Make sure the pipe you are going to inspect is not electrically charged, or
“hot”! In some cases ground circuits may be returned to cast iron pipes
causing them to be electrically charged. If you have any reason to suspect
the pipe is “hot”, have it checked by a qualifi ed electrician before putting
the camera in the line. As sections of pipe joined with shielded hubless
connections or compression gaskets may be electrically isolated, care should
be taken to check the entire length of any pipe you are going to inspect.
