1. A water-tight test without the camera inside the housing is highly
recommended when using the system for the first time and after the changing
of port and O-ring(s).
2. Do not use lubricants from other brands with the silicone rubber O-ring on this
housing, only use the lubricant provided by NAUTICAM.
3. Discontinue use immediately should you notice any leakage.
4. Store the housing in a robust, shock-proof container during transportation;
avoid transporting with any equipment, such as a camera, inside the housing.
5. When travelling by air, do not close the housing if the port is installed, as this
may lead to a pressure difference between the atmosphere and inside the
housing.
6. Care must be taken when opening the housing, as pressure may build up inside
the housing which increases the opening force.
7. Do not open the product in a wet or sandy environment. Protect the interior
from moisture and debris in order to prevent malfunction or leakage.
8. Do not store the product in an environment of high humidity.
9. Do not leave the housing and the camera in direct sunlight for prolonged
periods.
10. Keep out of reach of children, failure to do so could result in injury.
11. Defective products should be shipped to our distributors for service,
unauthorized disassembling and/or modifications could result in malfunction
or leakage.
