Before use, this unit must be pre-tested to check if there is any water leakage.

Please read before use.

This marine case is a precision instrument designed to permit safe video recording under high water pressure. Please pay careful attention when handling the unit before and after use, as explained in this user’s manual.

Each part of the marine case has been subject to strict controls during the manufacturing process, and the individual functions have faced stringent tests during the assembly process. Each marine case has also had to pass water-proof inspections using highpressure water testers. However, damage can sometimes occur during transport and distribution, or during storage after purchase, so before diving always carry out the following pre-use test to verify safety.

Pre-use test

Be sure to perform the following pre-use test before diving.

1.Before mounting the camcorder inside the marine case, dive with only the empty marine case and test for water leaks.

•You can easily check for water leaks at a depth of 1 m, where there is no water pressure. Be sure to perform this test to ensure the safety of your camcorder.

2.The following are some common causes of water leaks: A. The marine case is used without attaching the O-ring. B. The O-ring is not mounted in the correct position.

C. The O-ring is damaged or deformed.

D. There is sand, dirt, hair or other foreign matter on the O-ring.

E.There is sand, dirt, hair or other foreign matter on the contact surface of the O-ring or on the inside of the lid.

F.The provided strap or silica gel bag is pinched inside the marine case when the lid is closed.

To protect your camcorder and ensure optimum use, keep the examples listed above in mind when using the marine case.

JVC accepts no responsibility for water leakage or damage to anything inside the marine case (camcorder, cassette, etc.) due to careless usage of this product. Be sure to follow correct procedures when using the marine case.
