Waterproof Case

 Before sealing the waterproof case, keep the camera housing’s rubber seal clean, a single hair or grain of

sand can cause a leak. You can test by closing the case without inserting the camera. Submerse the case
completely in water for about a minute. Re move the case from the water, dry off its exterior with a towel,
and then open the case. If the interior is dry, the case is safe for use under water.

 Remember to put the Mode Switch in your desired recording position before inserting the camera in the

waterproof case. There are no external buttons for the Mode Switch.

 After use in salt water you will need to rinse the outside of the housing with fresh water an d then dry. This

will prevent corrosion of the hinge pin and salt buildup in the seal, which can cause failure.

29

30

 To clean the seal, rinse in fresh water and shake dry (drying with a cloth may cause lint to compromise the

seal). Re-install the seal into the grooves in the backdoor of the housing.

 To ensure waterproof seal with the waterproof case please ensure you use silicon grease to assist with water

proofing and protection. Smear a thin film of Vaseline on the black rubber O-ring.
