l. Bluebox SRL accept no liability for this kind of damages neither for the NAUTISMART PRO
housing nor for the Smartphone.
In case a large temperature difference between air and water, condensation may occur in
the NAUTISMART PRO housing. Place a small bag of dry bead into the housing if necessary.
2.2 SETTING UP NAUTISMART PRO HOUSING
NAUTISMART PRO doesn’t need any special preparation before use . It will fit the great majority
of Smartphones as is, just out of the box. However, very small models or very thin ones might
need some adjustments of the housing using the internal spacer ( for thin smartphones ) or
the plastic spacer on the right side of the housing to compensate the smaller dimensions of
the smartphone.
The lateral plastic spacer that is built in the housing can be removed to leave extra space for
bigger phones or can be put in place flipped to compensate smaller ones.
2.3 WATERPROOF TEST FOR NAUTISMART PRO
Every single NAUTISMART PRO unit that ships is individually tested for water leakage down to
the nominal depth of 200ft ( 60 mt). This test ensure that every unit is checked for leaking and
defects before it leaves our factory. We care a lot about quality and because we are aware
that Smartphones are just more than telecommunication devices we make every effort to ship
out units that face what we promise, waterproofness down to 60 MT ( 200 ft ). However,
unforeseable events out of our control may always happen from the moment your NAUTISMART
PRO has left our factory till when it reaches you. Therefore we strongly suggest you try
NAUTISMART PRO for any water leak EMPTY before you bring it underwater with your
Smartphone inside.
a. Take NAUTISMART PRO out of the EVA case and ensure that the O-ring is properly in place.
The O-ring must be smooth, inside it’s guide and shall not be dirty or present any sort of
damage.

Pull the security pin and rotate the lateral locking mechanism clockwise. 1/4 rotation should
be enough to open the housing. Once the housing is opened check for O-ring integrity and
cleanness and re-close the housing by un-doing the action followed to open it. Rotate the
locking mechanism counter clockwise until you hear the “click” of the safety pin going back
into its place. NAUTISMART PRO is now safe and you can bring it underwater for the leakage
test.
b. We strongly suggest you test NAUTIRMART PRO for your intended use. So if you are a
SCUBA Diver we strongly suggest you bring it Underwater with you down to 40 mt* (
131 ft ) if possible.
* Dives beyond 40 mt ( 131 ft ) are allowed only to Tech Divers. If you intend to use
NAUTISMART PRO while snorkeling only, then you can test it even at home putting it
into the bath tub for example.
c. Remove NAUTISMART PRO from the water after at least 10 minutes and check it there is
any water inside before opening it. If no water can be seen it means that the water
leakage test has been successful and you can safely insert your Smartphone inside and
