Waterproof Case Using Notice
Waterproof Case Using Notice
!Before sealing the waterproof case, keep the camera housing’s rubber seal clean, a single hair or grain of
sand can cause a leak. You can test by closing the case without inserting the camera. Submerse the case
completely in water for about a minute. Remove the case from the water, dry off its exterior with a towel,
then open the case. If the entire interior is dry, the case is safe for use under water.

waterproof case. There is no external button for the Mode Switch.
!After every use in salt water you will need to rinse the outside of the housing with non-salt water and dry.
Not doing this can eventually cause corrosion of the hinge pin and salt buildup in the seal, which can cause
failure.
!To clean the seal, rinse in fresh water and shake dry (drying with a cloth may cause lint to compromise the
seal). Re-install the seal into the grooves in the backdoor of the housing.
