The Skeleton backdoor (non-waterproof) provides better sound quality by allowing more sound to reach the camera’s microphone.

SWAPPING HOUSING DOORS

Your HD HERO2 housing comes with two types of backdoors—waterproof and skeleton.

To swap out a backdoor:

1. Open the backdoor of the housing so that it is hanging downwards.

2. Pull downwards on the backdoor until it snaps free from the hinge.

3. Line up replacement backdoor into the hinge opening.

4. Push upwards on the backdoor until it clicks into place.

CAMERA ASSEMBLY

PREVENTING WATER DAMAGE TO YOUR CAMERA

The rubber seal that lines the camera housing forms a waterproof barrier that protects your the rubber seal of the camera housing clean. A single hair or grain of sand can cause a leak.

A"er every use in salt water, you will need to rinse the outside of the housing with non-salt water and dry. Not doing this can eventually cause corrosion of the hinge pin and salt buildup in seal, which can cause failure.

To clean the seal, rinse it in fresh water and shake it dry (drying with a cloth can cause lint to compromise the seal). Re-install it into the grooves in the backdoor of the housing.

WARNING: Failure to follow these steps each time you use your HD HERO2 can result in leaks that damage or destroy your camera. Your warranty does not cover water damage resulting from user error.

CAMERA ASSEMBLY

CAMERA ASSEMBLY FCC STATEMENT

PRO TIPS: ATTACHING ADHESIVE MOUNTS

Clean the surface ﬁrst. Be sure to carefully clean the surface where you will

be attaching your adhesive mount. Wax, oil, dirt and other debris will reduce adhesion, which can result in a weak bond and the risk of losing your camera if the bond fails.

Only attach a mount in room temperature conditions. The mount’s adhesive will not bond properly if applied in cold or damp environments, though it is entirely safe to use in cold conditions. For best results, attach your mount 24 hours before use in cold environments to ensure the strongest hold.

Surfaces. The adhesive mounts can only be mounted to a smooth surface. Porous or textured surfaces will not provide for a proper bond. When applying the mount, ﬁrmly press mount into place ensuring full contact over entire surface area. Allow at least 24 hours for full bond strength.

Drying time. For best results, attach your mount at a minimum of 24 hrs before use.
