The indicator LED turns green when your RE is fully charged.

set it down for 30 seconds. When you pick it up again, you’ll see the
indicator LED light up with the current battery status.

Waterproof protection
RE is IPX7 compliant. This means that you can safely use it when immersed
in water under the following conditions:
§ Fresh water or sea water only
§ Maximum water depth: 1 meter (3.2 feet)
§ Maximum time underwater: 30 minutes
§ Water temperature: 15°C - 35°C (59°F - 95°F)
This rating does not ensure the waterproof performance of RE
under all conditions.
Important reminders
Tightly close the microSD slot cover.
Keep the microSD card dry.
If you're going deeper than 1 meter of water, make your RE IPX8compliant by attaching a waterproof cap.
The waterproof cap is included if you purchased the RE Protection
Pack.
Securely hold your RE while underwater by attaching the supplied
lanyard and wearing it on your wrist. See Wrist lanyard on page 18
for more details.
14 Discover
RE is rated IPX8 for shooting images underwater at a depth of 3 m
(9.8 ft) for up to 120 minutes when used together with the
waterproof cap and IPX7 for shooting images underwater at a
depth of 1 m (3.2 ft) for up to 30 minutes without the cap.
Things to avoid
Avoid immersing RE or letting the USB port come into contact with
liquid chemicals such as liquid soap or detergent.
Never immerse RE in hot springs, or any liquid besides water (such
as alcohol, sugared drinks, etc.).
Do not jump into water with RE or subject it to high water pressure
conditions such as rapids or waterfalls. Subjecting RE to excessive
shock, vibration or pressure by dropping or hitting it, may affect
waterproof performance.
Keep away from dust and sand.
Do not charge RE while it's wet.
Do not open the microSD slot cover underwater or in areas exposed
to water spray, high winds, dust, or sand. Also, do not insert a wet
microSD card in RE.
RE does not float in water. Do not drop RE into water.

Cleaning and drying after exposing RE to water
Always clean your RE after using underwater. Some water, especially salt
water, is corrosive to electronics and can result in damage to your RE.
It is recommended to clean your RE within 60 minutes of
underwater use.
1. Immerse your RE in a basin of fresh water, with its microSD slot
cover tightly sealed.
2. Leave your RE submerged in the basin of fresh water for about 10
minutes.
3. Shake off water caught in the USB port.
4. Wipe off water droplets with a soft cloth and dry your RE in a well-
ventilated place.
5. Make sure to let the USB port dry completely before using the port.
