Quick Troubleshooting

1. Otoscope Does Not Switch ON

1. Connect the otoscope to a compatible 5V/0.5A power source.
2. Allow approximately 30 minutes for charging.
3. Disconnect the charging cable.
4. Press and hold the power button.
5. Check whether the blue indicator light flashes.

If the device still does not switch ON, try a known-working compatible power source and cable.

2. Blue Indicator Light Does Not Flash

1. Check whether the otoscope has sufficient battery charge.
2. Recharge the device using the supplied charging cable.
3. Disconnect it from the charger.
4. Press and hold the power button again.
5. If the light still does not flash, stop using the device and contact support.

3. Xlife App Cannot Find the Otoscope

1. Make sure the otoscope is switched ON.
2. Confirm that its blue indicator light is flashing.
3. Open your phone's Wi-Fi settings.
4. Look for the otoscope network in the format Xlife-XO-XXXXXX.
5. Select that network and wait for the phone to connect.
6. Return to the Xlife app.

Do not try to connect the phone to a different Wi-Fi network while completing the initial otoscope connection.

4. Phone Is Connected to the Otoscope Wi-Fi but the App Shows No Image

1. Confirm that the phone is connected to the otoscope's Wi-Fi network.
2. Return to the Xlife app after connecting.
3. Open the camera/live-view screen.
4. Wait for the image to appear.
5. If the image does not load, close and reopen the app.
6. Switch the otoscope OFF and ON, then reconnect to its Wi-Fi.

The otoscope uses its own Wi-Fi for image transmission. A message that the connected network has no internet access can be normal.

5. Wi-Fi Connection Keeps Dropping

1. Keep the smartphone close to the otoscope.
2. Make sure the otoscope remains switched ON.
3. Check that the phone has not switched to another Wi-Fi network.
4. Re-select the otoscope network in Wi-Fi settings.
5. Return to the Xlife app.

Use the device in a stable environment and avoid moving around while viewing the camera feed.

6. Camera Image Is Blurry or Unclear

1. Check that the lens is clean.
2. Gently wipe the lens with a professional alcohol cotton swab.
3. Check that the lens is not damaged.
4. Position the camera steadily and allow the image to come into focus.
5. Avoid excessive movement while viewing the image.

Do not use sharp objects or abrasive materials to clean the lens.

7. LED Lights Do Not Illuminate

1. Check whether the otoscope is switched ON.
2. Check the battery level and recharge if required.
3. Switch the device OFF and ON again.
4. Reopen the Xlife app and check the live image.

If the lights remain off after charging and restarting, contact support.

8. Device Does Not Charge

1. Switch OFF the otoscope.
2. Use the supplied charging cable.
3. Connect it to a compatible 5V/0.5A USB power source.
4. Check that the charging connector is seated correctly.
5. Allow approximately 30 minutes for charging.
6. If it still does not charge, try another compatible power source.

Do not use a power source exceeding the specified input.

9. Battery Runs Out Quickly

The expected operating time is up to 30 minutes.

1. Fully charge the otoscope before use.
2. Switch OFF the device when it is not needed.
3. Avoid leaving it switched ON after finishing.
4. Recharge it if the battery becomes depleted.

Actual operating time depends on use and battery condition.

10. App Installation or Compatibility Issue

1. Search for Xlife in the Apple App Store or Google Play.
2. Confirm that the smartphone meets the app's current operating-system requirements.
3. Install or update the Xlife app.
4. Turn ON the otoscope and connect to its Wi-Fi network.
5. Return to the app and open the live view.
