Using Your Waterproof Case the First Time

Before using your H2O Audio Capture Waterproof Case for the first time, it is highly recommended that you become familiar with opening and closing the case to ensure it is sealed properly during use. To verify that you have sealed the case properly we recommend that you test the product without an iPod nano (5th Gen) inside before initial use. Please follow the instructions below.

1. Open the case and verify the seal area is clean and free of debris or damage.

2. Close and lock the case without the iPod nano (5th Gen) inside.

3. Attach H2O Audio Waterproof Headphones (sold separately).

4. Submerge the system in water and soak for 30 min.

5. Manipulate the scroll wheel and push button controls during submersion.

6. Remove from water and dry exterior so water does not fall inside when opened.

7. Open the case and ensure there is no water inside.

Do not use if water is found inside the case.

Please contact H2O Audio Customer Support immediately.

1. Slide latch button towards the unlock icon.

4. Ensure the nano’s hold switch is not enabled.

5. Align the headphone jack with the stereo plug inside the case and slide iPod into place.

7. Pull the top of the latch toward the case and snap closed. The latch button should automatically move to the lock icon.

2. While holding the latch button towards the unlock icon, push the top of the latch away from the case.

Important: Remove any skins or covers from your nano before installing into the case.

8. Verify the latch is closed and locked and the seal is aligned correctly.

3. Unhook latch from the back of the case.

6. Close the lid and hook the latch onto the back of the case.

Checking the Waterproof Seal

The H2O Audio Capture Waterproof Case features a removable, black silicone seal that forms a waterproof barrier between the base and lid of the case. It is extremely important that special attention is paid to ensure the silicone seal is completely seated in the groove of the lid. If the seal is loose, out of alignment, twisted or pinched in any way, it will compromise the waterproof integrity of the case and should not be used. Any debris such as hair or sand will keep it from forming a watertight barrier and should be cleaned off before use.

It is extremely important you ensure the seal is clean and properly seated each time you close the case as failure to do so may ruin your iPod.

Caution: If the seal comes out of alignment, carefully place it in the groove, ensuring all 4 corners are correctly installed. Compress the lid to the base and then re-open it to make sure the seal is fitted correctly into the groove. The seal should appear straight and uniform along it’s’ edge and should not fall out easily.

If you have any concerns please contact H2O Audio Customer Support.

Maintaining Your Waterproof Case

Waterproof Case

Your H2O Audio Capture Waterproof Case is completely waterproof. After in-water use, rinse your case off with clean water and let it air dry for your next use. Strong detergents, soaps, and chemicals should never be used to clean the case.

Do not expose the case to extreme heat, such as the inside of a hot car, or in hot direct sunlight, such as on a beach, or boat deck. Doing so may cause damage and subsequent flooding.

For long-term storage, store in a plastic bag out of direct sunlight.

To clean the silicone seal, remove it from the case and wash with warm fresh water. Strong detergents, soaps, and chemicals should never be used to clean the silicone seal. Allow seal to air dry and install back into the case.

The life of the silicone seal is typically one year. A replacement seal has been provided. Please contact H2O Audio Customer Support for additional seals.

The seal does not require lubrication. Do not use silicone grease to lubricate the seal.

The case should not be submerged under water for long periods of time without H2O Audio Waterproof Headphones plugged in as water could enter the case through the headphone jack.

FAQs

1. What happens if the waterproof headphones become disconnected from the case?

As long as the case is not submerged under water for long periods of time, it should be fine. The longer the case is submerged under water, the higher the possibility water can enter the case through the stereo jack. In an incident that the headphones detach from the case, we suggest getting that connection back together as soon as possible.

2. What headphones are compatible with H2O Audio Waterproof Cases?

H2O Audio Waterproof Cases are designed to work with H2O Audio Waterproof Headphones and standard 3.5mm headphones.

The case should not be submerged under water for long periods of time without H2O Audio Waterproof Headphones plugged in as water may be able to enter the case through the stereo jack.

3. Can H2O Audio Waterproof Cases be taken into a hot tub or sauna?

Yes. Although users should not take their H2O Audio Waterproof Case into environments where the temperature fluctuates drastically as internal condensation may form (i.e. from a cold pool to a hot sauna or hot tub).

Safety Information

Please read this manual carefully. If you have any questions please contact H2O Audio Customer Service prior to use.

Improper use of this system may cause the user to make mistakes or decisions that may lead to serious injury or death.

Always make sure to have the audio player volume turned to zero and the headphones turned away from the ears when turning on the audio player. If the volume level is not zero when the audio player is turned on, it may cause ear injury due to a sudden burst of volume. The volume should be slowly increased with an audio track playing to set the speaker volume to comfortable output levels prior to positioning the headphones next to the ears. Hearing experts advise against continuously loud and extended play. If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.

It can be potentially dangerous to use headphones while engaging in activities that require your full attention. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. Do not use the headphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. Those users that elect to utilize this system at, or near, the water’s surface, must maintain safety awareness of moving water crafts

WARNING: Contains small parts which may be a choking hazard. Not suitable for children under 3 years old.
