Initial Setup
Before using your AxisGO for the first time you must conduct a water test as explained below. You can perform the
water test in any body of water that allows submersion down to depths of 1-3ft. Make sure the O-Rings are clean and
dry before testing. If the O-Rings or the AxisGO show any signs of damage do not use. Replacement O-Ring kits can
be ordered through the website.
Attach the included AxisGO Wrist Lanyard by tying the tether to the leash attachment point. Only attach the leash to the
side hinge locations as shown in fig 1. It may be easiest to install the leash with the handle open. Check that the main
O-Ring is located in its correct position, as seen in fig 2. and is in good condition
Close the backplate and lock the side latch by wrapping it around to the front locking mechanism, and squeeze the latch
down. An audible ‘click’ should be heard to indicate the latch is locked, and the latch release button should protrude
to its original position. Pull back firmly on the side handle latch to ensure it has locked correctly.
Conduct a visual inspection of the AxisGO to be sure a good seal has been created by checking that the entire backplate
has engaged well with the front section, and there is no debris or other material interfering with the sealing O-Ring. A
small gap between the backplate and frame is normal. Always use a wrist lanyard or leash when using the AxisGO in
any body of water as it is negatively buoyant, therefore if it is dropped, it will sink.
Once the AxisGO Wrist Lanyard is attached to your wrist you can immerse your AxisGO into the water.
Hold the AxisGO and immerse it into the water for a period of 20 seconds.
Remove the AxisGO from the water, dry with a towel and check that no water has penetrated inside. Point the AxisGO
up and check around the back-plate edges, then point it down and check the edges of the front port for any water that
may have penetrated. Water can enter the AxisGO when opening the backplate, so do not confuse this with a leak.
If this is all clear and there has been no ingress, repeat Step 1 and hold the AxisGO under the water for 30 seconds.
Repeat step 2, and if no water has entered you are ready to install your iPhone and begin shooting. If any water enters
the AxisGO during the test, dry it out completely and then repeat the instructions on installing your port and water
testing. If a leak persists, email support at [e-mail]
Installing your iPhone
Make sure the inside of your AxisGO is completely dry and clean. Clean the iPhone screen of any fingerprints or debris.
Insert the iPhone into the rubber bumpers inside the AxisGO.
The home screen should face upwards so you can see your screen through the transparent membrane.
Before closing the backplate, make sure the main O-Ring is free from any sand or other debris. Close the backplate and lock
the side handle latch. Take care that your leash does not interfere with the hinge or O-Ring when closing the backplate. Now
your AxisGO is ready for the water, snow, dirt or anywhere else you can take it!

Venting your AxisGO
‘Venting’ is a technique of expelling air from the AxisGO before closing the backplate. To ‘vent’ your AxisGO, apply pressure
to the rear membrane as you close the rear backplate and lock the side handle. Pushing onto the phone with 1 finger (fig 3.)
will remove a small amount of air, or using your whole palm will remove a greater amount of air. Each action will have
different pros and cons as sensitivity and water interference* will vary through the techniques. A unit that is not vented will
be slightly less sensitive when controlling the touchscreen and more resistant to water interference. A fully vented unit will be
much easier to control and navigate the touch screen, but will be more likely to receive water interference. Experimenting
with these techniques will allow you to see which technique suits you and your application best.
NOTE: It is recommended any screen protectors be removed before using the AxisGO. The screen protectors reduce touch
sensitivity through the rear membrane and can make controlling the phone difficult.
Using the AxisGO Underwater
Your iPhone uses a capacitive touch screen which will not function the same underwater as it will above. Functionality loss
will occur to the touchscreen when the AxisGO is used underwater. Before going underwater make sure that your camera
app is open. You can use the volume buttons to fire the camera, or start/stop video recording. When staying below the
surface for extended periods (ie: diving) follow the below tips:
Set the phones ‘Auto-Lock’ to never.
Settings>Display & Brightness>Auto Lock
Turn ‘Airplane Mode’ on.
Keep the camera app open before you submerge
Select your preferred capture method first
(ie: photo or video etc.)
All settings can be changed as soon as you resurface with your AxisGO.
iPhone Camera App
Your AxisGO allows full control over the iPhone camera App. When you have launched the app it is easy to swipe through
capture modes, swap between front and rear cameras, review pictures and use the shutter button. As well as the on screen
shutter button, photos can be captured by pressing either of the volume buttons. Holding the volume up button will also allow
you to shoot bursts of photos, great for fast action moments. The volume buttons can also be used to start/ stop video
recording.
Placing your phone in ‘Airplane Mode’ will prevent photo or video capture being interrupted by calls or notifications. To lock
focus and exposure of a subject, press and hold the touchscreen on the desired subject. You can also adjust the exposure
by sliding the sun image up or down. You can zoom the camera by pinching the screen to zoom in or out.
Touchscreen
The AxisGO rear membrane allows you full access to your iPhone 11’s touchscreen. Making capturing images and sharing
them a seamless experience, while protecting your iPhone’s delicate touchscreen. The new rear membrane material
provides a more responsive and intuitive experience while navigating your touchscreen.
Battery Life Tips
Leaving your phone in Airplane Mode will save battery life and stop any calls or notifications interfering with your video or
still photo capture.
Activate Low Power Mode to reduce the amount of background activity that uses battery power. Settings>Battery>Low
Power Mode
Using the camera app from the iPhone lock screen is the fastest way to return your camera to sleep when not needed.
Simply swipe left from the lock screen to open the camera app, then hit the home button when finished.
Keep the phone display brightness lower if full power is not needed. Settings>Display Brightness
Turn ‘Raise to Wake’ off if not needed. Settings>Display & Brightness>Raise to Wake
If using your phone above water only, set the ‘Auto-Lock’ to 1 minute. Settings>Display & Brightness>Auto Lock
Safety Information

Do not exceed depths of 3ft without a phone installed in the AxisGO.
Always use your AxisGO with a leash or the provided Wrist Lanyard.
Never store your AxisGO in direct sunlight or environments exceeding temperatures of 30c/86f.
Do not store your phone inside the AxisGO in direct sunlight.
The included Wrist Lanyard is intended only for calm water use. The ‘AxisGO Sports Leash’ (sold separately) should be
used in the surf or any turbulent water.

WARNING: Practice extreme caution when diving into water, swimming in surf or other dynamic outdoor pursuits. Only use
this product in settings that are within yours or other’s capabilities. Serious injuries or drowning could occur if you are not a
competent swimmer for the prevailing conditions.

Maintenance and repair
After each use, remove your phone before again closing the AxisGO and rinsing it thoroughly in fresh water.
Rinse the latch mechanism and spring thoroughly after each use to ensure it retains full operation.
Dry your AxisGO before storing.
Store in a cool, dry area.
Use the provided grease periodically on the rear main and lens port O-Rings to reduce friction and increase operating
life. Only a small amount of grease should be applied each time.
Do not let any sunscreen come into contact with the rear membrane. Wipe off and rinse any sunscreen from the AxisGO
as soon as possible if contact is unavoidable.
If traveling by air, remove any dome port attachments while traveling.
Take care not to displace the rubber bumper inserts inside the AxisGO when removing your phone. If they are
misplaced, replacement packs are available through the website.
Keep all sharp objects away from the AxisGO that could damage the rear membrane.
Whenever mounting anything to the AxisGO ensure the correct size screw is used so as to not damage the mount
threads, or AxisGO itself.
