RECAUTIONS
•A water-tight test without the monitor inside the housing is highly recommended when
using the system for the first time and after the changing of port and O-ring(s).

only use the lubricant pro ided by NAUTICAM.
•Discontinue use immediately should you notice any leakage.
•Store the housing in a robust, shock-proof container during transportation; a oid
transporting with any equipment, such as a camera, inside the housing.
•When tra elling by air, do not close the housing as this may lead to a pressure difference
between the atmosphere and inside the housing.
•Care must be taken when opening the housing, as pressure may build up inside the
housing which increases the opening force.
