Important Notices

» To prevent salt build-up and sticking controls, submerge the

empty housing in clean, freshwater. Operate the controls

several times each while underwater to ush out any residue.

» Never leave a housing in a rinse tank, even if it is the only

system in the tank. Most catastrophic oods happen when the

user walks away from a housing while it is in the rinse tank.

» Do not use alcohol, cleaning agents, spray lubricants, Rain-X,

or other solvents on the housing or lens port. Use of an

incompatible chemical compound can damage the plastic and

o-rings, and may result in leaking.

» Do not pull the shutter trigger without a camera installed. You

may accidentally detach or damage the control spring.

» Always assemble in a cool, dry location. Opening the housing

in a humid environment may cause fogging.
