Waterproof Case Using Notice
Before sealing the waterproof case, keep the camera
housing’s rubber seal clean, a single hair or dust or sand
can cause the leakage. 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.
Remember to set the camera at the desired mode before
putting the camera in the waterproof case. There is no
external button on the case for the contact to the mode
icon on the LCD display.
After every use in salt water you will need to rinse the
outside of the case with non-salt water and dry the case.
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 it in fresh water and dry it.
Re-install the seal into the grooves in the backdoor of the
housing.
