2. Safety precautions
To prevent personal injury and/or damage to equipment, read this User Manual
carefully, as well as your GoPro Hero 5 Black owner’s manual, and other acces-
sories used in combination with your Hugyfot Vision Hero 5 housing.
To prevent personal injury:
- Only use battery packs specified in this User Manual and follow manufac-
turer’s instructions.
- Remove leaking battery packs immediately from your Hugyfot Vision Hero
5. Leaking occurrences are extremely rare. Handling a defective battery
pack must be done with care, avoiding exposure to bare skin, inhaling gas
emissions or contact with fluids that could leak from a defective battery
pack.
- Keep battery packs away from children.
- Dive within your level of training, maintain awareness of your depth, tank
pressure and decompression limits at all times.
- Your Hugyfot Vision Hero 5 underwater housing is designed to withstand
depths of up to 655 feet (200 meters), well beyond recreational dive limits,
as well as most technical dive depths. Stay within safety dive limits in keep-
ing with your level of certification and expertise. Do not use your Hugyfot
Vision Hero 5 housing at depths beyond your training level and skills.
To prevent equipment damage:
- Never leave your Hugyfot Vision Hero 5 housing in direct sunlight as heat
buildup may exceed recommended temperature ranges, causing perma-
nent damage to electronic components, including your camera.
- Your Hugyfot Vision Hero 5 housing is designed to operate between 32°F
and 122°F (0°C and 55°C).
- Do not use paint thinners, benzene nor harsh solvents to clean your Hugy-
fot Vision Hero 5 housing, as these products will damage the finish of your
housing, can cause fire and are harmful to your health.
3. Tips
- Your Hugyfot Vision Hero 5 housing is developed and machined with
great precision. Treat it with care. Avoid dropping or exposing to impacts.
- The inside of your Hugyfot Vision Hero 5 housing is not waterproof and
must be kept dry at all times. Avoid water droplets from entering your
housing. In the event salt water enters your housing, pad it dry immedia-
tely using an absorbent towel. Use a damp cloth to remove any salt crys-
tals.
- Ambient humidity and temperature differentials may cause condensation
inside your Hugyfot Vision Hero 5 housing, particularly when moving it
from cold to warm environments. Avoid condensation by keeping your
housing in a sealed bag or an airtight case. Allow your housing to accli-
mate, then remove it from the bag or case. To reduce risk of condensation,
do not open your housing between dives.
- If condensation forms inside your Hugyfot Vision Hero 5 housing, do not
use it. Open your housing, remove the camera, battery packs and allow
condensation to completely evaporate before using it.
- Following any extended period of storage, check that your Hugyfot Vision
Hero 5 housing is operating properly before diving.
- Thoroughly rinse your Hugyfot Vision Hero 5 housing in fresh water after
each dive. Repeatedly push all buttons and levers while submerged to
purge trapped water and flush internal spring mechanisms.
- Your Hugyfot Vision Hero 5 housing has two (2) O-rings. Carefully inspect,
service and lubricate each O-ring before diving.
Hugyfot recommends having your Vision Hero 5 housing serviced every 2 years,
at a minimum, by an authorized Hugyfot dealer.
