IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
A water-tight/vacuum 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).
Store the housing in a robust, shock-proof
container during transportation; avoid
transporting with any equipment, such as a
camera, inside the housing.
Care must be taken when opening the
housing, as pressure may build up inside
the housing which increases the opening
force.
Do not leave the housing and the monitor
in direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
Defective products should be shipped to
our distributors for service, unauthorized
disassembling and/or modifications
could result in malfunction or leakage.
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.
When travelling by air, do not travel with dome
port installed as this may lead to a pressure
difference between the atmosphere and
inside the housing.
This product is not intened for use by
children, or persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they
are supervised and/or given instruction by
a responsible person concerning use of
the product to ensure that they can use it
safely.

CARE/STORAGE
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 dam-
age. 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.
It is recommended that you ship the
housing to our distributor for a complete
overhaul three years or after every 300
dives.
Do NOT travel with external 180/45
degree viewfinder installed, always pack
it separately with the housing.
If you will not use the housing for an
extended time, remove the O-rings for
storage to avoid deforming them.
Do not store the housing in an environment
of high humidity, extreme temperatures,
and direct sunlight.
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. And do not dry your sys-
tem in the Sun after fresh water cleanning.
Store the housing in a robust, shock-proof
container during transportation; avoid
transporting with the camera inside the
housing.
When travelling by air, it is important that
the housing is not sealed. Either remove
the O-rings, the port, or leave the back of
the housing open.
A damaged O-ring should be discarded
immediately and replaced only with one
that is provided by NAUTICAM.
Place the O-rings in a small zip-lock plastic
bag and place it inside the housing.
