Remove the cap of the vacuum valve Connect the hand pump to the valve and
pump several times until it reaches the target vacuum level The LED light will
turn flashing yellow while vacuum is building up, then steady green when the
target vacuum level is reached
ttention: fter the target vacuum is reached, i.e. steady green light, attach
the cap back to the vacuum valve
It is recommended to leave the housing for at least 20mins to ensure it is
sealed If the LED light changes from steady green light to rapidly flashing
yellow light, that means there is a leakage and please check every O-ring and
conduct the vacuum test again
Please ensure that the cap is attached back to the vacuum valve before going
underwater
Vacuum can be released by pushing the red release button
ttention: Please DO NOT attempt to go over the designated vacuum level, i.e.
stop pumping when the LED turn green. Excessive vacuum level may lead to
the malfunction of the camera and lens.
Note: lthough the vacuum indicator is designated to compensate for a certain
amount of temperature variation, it is recommended to conduct the vacuum
test in an environment where the temperature is stable.
