CARE AND MAINTENANCE
•Soak the housing system in fresh water after
each use, during which all control buttons/knobs
should be operated a few times to avoid the
accumulation of salt residue; wipe the housing
with a towel before opening.
•After removing the housing from the rinse tank,
carefully press the housing lock safety button for
a few times to avoid the accumulation of salt
residue.
•After each day of diving, it is advisable to have
both the housing main O-ring and port O-ring
removed from its groove with the O-ring remover
and inspected for damage. Also check that the
O-ring retains its original circular shape; never
stretch the O-ring excessively or remove it with a
sharp object. The O-ring groove should be
cleaned to ensure it is free from any salt deposit
or foreign material; lightly coat the O-ring with the
provided lubricant before reinstalling it in the
groove. A damaged O-ring should be discarded
immediately and replaced only with one that is
provided by NAUTICAM.

Maintenance Guide" for more details.
