Warning
You are advised to test the waterproof case empty by submerging it in water to ensure that it does
not malfunction.
You must ensure there are no foreign objects around the rubber seal or connecting terminals on the
waterproof case. It is easy for sand or dust to become stuck after opening the case which may result
in the impairment of the waterproof performance.
Be extremely careful since it may result in malfunction. If foreign objects adhere to the inner side of
thesidedoor,wipethemowithadry,lint-freecloth.Ifanyliquidadherestothecameraorinnerside
