PRECAUTIONS
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.

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.
Do not store the product in an environment of high humidity.
Do not leave the housing and the monitor in direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
