The Portronics XLife is a smart wireless ear-cleaning otoscope that connects to your smartphone over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Its camera lets you view the ear area on the Xlife app while using the ear-cleaning attachment carefully.

Quick Reference

Actual operating time may vary with usage and battery condition.

What's in the Box

Before You Begin

1. Charge the otoscope before first use.
2. Download the Xlife app on your smartphone.
3. Make sure you are in a stationary, well-lit and stable environment.
4. Keep people, pets and moving objects at least 2 feet away while using the otoscope.
5. Do not use the device in a moving vehicle or while walking.

Step 1 — Download the Xlife App

• iPhone: Search for Xlife in the Apple App Store.
• Android: Search for Xlife in Google Play.
• You can also scan the QR code provided with the product to access the app download.

Install the app and allow any permissions required for its normal operation.

Step 2 — Switch On the Otoscope

1. Press and hold the power button on the ear-cleaning rod.
2. The device switches ON and the blue indicator light flashes.
3. Keep the otoscope close to your smartphone while connecting.

Step 3 — Connect Your Smartphone to the Otoscope Wi-Fi

1. Open your smartphone's Wi-Fi settings.
2. Find the Wi-Fi network broadcast by the otoscope. It appears in the format Xlife-XO-XXXXXX.
3. Tap the device's Wi-Fi network to connect.
4. Once connected, return to the Xlife app.
5. Enter the app's live-view screen and start using the otoscope.

The otoscope uses its own 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection for image transmission. Your phone may show that this Wi-Fi network has no internet access; this is expected when connected directly to the otoscope.

Viewing the Ear Image

1. Connect the phone to the otoscope's Wi-Fi.
2. Open the Xlife app.
3. Check that the live camera image appears.
4. Use the on-screen view to guide the ear-cleaning attachment gently.
5. Move slowly and avoid pushing the otoscope forcefully or deeply into the ear.
6. Stop immediately if you feel pain, discomfort or dizziness.

The camera uses a 3.5mm lens, six LED lights and a 3-axis gyroscope. The image transmission rate is 20 FPS.

Using the Ear-Cleaning Attachment

1. Make sure the device is switched OFF before fitting or changing an attachment.
2. Fit the supplied silicone ear spoon cover securely onto the cleaning tip, as applicable.
3. Check that the cover is properly seated before use.
4. Switch on the otoscope and connect it to the Xlife app.
5. Use the live image to guide slow, gentle movements.
6. Do not use the device aggressively or for extended periods.
7. After use, switch OFF the otoscope and clean the attachment before storing it.

Do not use a damaged, loose or missing silicone cover.

Capturing or Reviewing Images

The Xlife app provides the camera view from the otoscope. Use the app's available on-screen controls to view the image and capture or save footage if those options are available in your app version.

If you notice anything unusual, stop using the tool and consult a qualified healthcare professional. The otoscope view is not a substitute for a medical examination.
