1. 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).
2. Do not use lubricants from other brands with the silicone rubber O-ring on this
housing, only use the lubricant provided by NAUTICAM.

4. Store the housing in a robust, shock-proof container during transportation;
avoid transporting with any e uipment, such as a camera, inside the housing.

1. Soak the housing system in fresh water after each salt water 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.
2. Carefully press the housing lock safety button for a few times to avoid the
accumulation of salt residue.
3. After each day of diving, it is advisable to have the main O-ring in the front part
of the housing 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.
4. Replace the main O-ring annually.
5. It is recommended that you ship the housing to our distributor for a complete
overhaul every year or after every 200 dives.
