INTRODUCTION

The TS07 Flashlight Inspection Camera is ideal for making
inspections of equipment and areas that are open enough to
not require the maneuverability of a flexible borescope probe.
Lighting for the line-of-sight camera is provided by a
powerful LED flashlight that can be used independently. One

2

obvious application for the TS07 is documenting—with high­definition, date- and time-stamped video and photos—the
rounds of security guards.

The TS07 can be used as a standalone flashlight, or with

™

General’s free ToolSmart
When used in concert with an iPhone

app running on your mobile phone.

®

or Android

™

smartphone, the TS07 can stream—via a self-generated local
WiFi hotspot (without Internet access)—to the phone all live
video it “sees”. The phone initiates the transfer using the
ToolSmart

™

app, which can be downloaded from the iTunes

®

App Store or Google Play Store.
Soft buttons on the app can be pressed to save video clips

and capture still photos of the video stream.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The flashlight section of the Flashlight Inspection Camera
uses three 2-watt LED lights that are powerful enough to
disorient or cause short-term vision problems for anyone
looking directly at them. Avoid staring at those lights—
especially when the flashlight is operated in full power or fast
strobe mode.

Keep the TS07 out of the hands of children.
Do not use the Flashlight Inspection Camera in the presence

of flammable or explosive gases.

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

CHARGE BATTERY

During charging, the TS07 can be used as a flashlight, but not
as a WiFi video camera. Charging may take up to eight hours.

To charge the battery:

1. Power off the TS07 by pressing and holding the and
buttons (Callouts F and G on page 5).

2. Unscrew and remove the battery compartment

(Callout J).

3. Remove and discard the clear plastic battery activation

disc.

4. Insert the cylindrical plug end of the included USB cable

into the jack exposed by unscrewing the head (Callout C),
and the full-size (standard-A) USB plug at the other end
into a USB port of your computer or a socket of a USB
AC power adapter.

If you do not already own a USB AC power adapter (most
smartphones include one), you can purchase one on-line
or at many retail stores for less than $5. Be aware that
“trickle” charging the TS07 through a USB port of your
computer will take much longer than charging it from an
AC outlet.

5.

During charging, the Wi-Fi indicator LED (Callout I)
will blink/flash green.

When the battery is fully charged the LED’s color will

6.

switch to solid green.

7. Replace the flashlight/camera head cover and hand-

tighten it.
