CARE & MAINTENANCE
Water test your Evo Aqua every 3 months,
and before any planned deep water
exposure, as per the instructions for the
“water test” detailed above.
If your case comes into contact with soap,
seawater or chlorine, rinse thoroughly with
fresh water. Do not use bleach, alcohol or
proprietary cleaners.
Before every use, inspect the seals and use
a damp cloth to wipe away any matter (e.g.
sand or grit) which could obstruct it.
After any major impact, inspect your case
for damage. If you’re concerned, carry out
a “water test”.
Avoid contact with sharp or abrasive
objects.
We recommend that you remove your
phone from your case on a weekly basis
and check for any moisture build-up from
the environment. This is completely normal
and not a failure of your case. If moisture
has built up inside your case, dry it with a
towel before reassembling it.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Please read all instructions and warnings
carefully prior to using your Evo Aqua.
Improper use may result in product damage
