THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING RUGGARD.
The Ruggard Portable Dry Case protects your
lenses, photographic and optical equipment, mobile
electronics, and other valuables from excessive
moisture. Using the included rechargeable
dehumidifier, you can reduce the interior relative
humidity to help prevent fungus and corrosion from
damaging your gear. The case oers silent operation
with no fan or compressor, and the unit is dripless, so
there’s no need for a water tray. Grab the case and bring
it with you to your next location shoot, and keep your
equipment sealed and protected against moisture-rich
climates.

manual in a safe place.
