Sealing your camera
The waterproof housing allows the camera to be used up to 10 metres under water. You must seal the
camera with the back cover in order to protect the camera when using it in wet or damp conditions.
To secure the back cover
• Attachthebackcovertothebackofthecameraandrotateclockwiseuntilthetwoblackdots
are aligned
• Slidethelatchonthebackcovertolockit
• Toopen,slidethelatchonthebackcovertoloosenit.Rotatethecoveranticlockwiseuntilthewhiteand
black dots are aligned
Note: Failure to properly seal your camera can result in leaks that damage or destroy your camera.
Note: The rubber seal on the back cover forms the waterproof barrier to protect the camera in wet
and underwater conditions. You must keep this seal clean, as a single strand of hair or grain of
sand can cause a leak.
Note: After each use in salt water, you will need to rinse the outside of the product and the seal with
clean, salt-free water, and dry. Not doing this can cause corrosion of the product or failure
in the seal which in turn could damage the product.
