RECAUTIONS
•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).
•Do not use lubricants from other brands with the silicone rubber O-ring on this
housing, only use the lubricant provided by NAUTICAM.
•Discontinue use immediately should you notice any leakage.
•Store the housing in a robust, shock-proof container during transportation; avoid
transporting with any equipment, such as a camera, inside the housing.
•When travelling 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.
