In order to use this product safely
Preparation (墌 pg. 4)
Check that there is no dirt, cracks, or damage to
the O-ring.
Always apply grease to the O-ring.

Safety Precaution

Before use, this unit must be pre­tested to check if there is any water leakage.
Attaching the Marine Case to the Camera
(墌 pg. 5)
Make sure that the O-ring is not twisted, and that
you do not forget to attach it.
When tightening the seal, make sure there are no
foreign objects caught in the seal.
Recording the Video/Still Image Files (墌 pg. 6)
Avoid opening and closing the marine case in the
shooting location.
When holding the marine case, lower it gently into
the water.
Detaching the Marine Case/Maintenance (墌 pg. 7)
Always wash the marine case in fresh water after
use.
Perform maintenance on the O-ring.
If water leaks into the case due to careless use of the marine case, JVC cannot accept responsibility for any damage that may occur to the internal equipment and materials (video camera, SD card etc), or any expenses incurred in taking the photographs/video. Therefore, please be careful when using the marine case.

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 waterproof inspections using high-pressure water testers. However, damage can sometimes occur during transport and distribution, or during storage after purchase, so before diving always carry out the following preuse test to verify safety.
Pre-use test
Be sure to perform the following pre-use test before diving.
1. Before mounting the camera inside the marine case, dive with only the empty marine case and test for water leaks.
Allow 5 or 6 minutes to ensure there are no leaks. Be sure to perform this test to ensure the safety of your camera.
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.

3. Check that there are no scratches or cracks on the marine case every time you use it.
The marine case must withstand water pressure with use. Repeated exposure to pressure eventully leads to material fatigue, which may result in damage of the marine case. Every time you use the marine case, check in advance that there are no scratches or cracks. If you frequently use the marine case, be sure to ask for maintenance at the store of purchase. (There is a charge for maintenance.)
To protect your camera and ensure optimum use, keep the examples listed above in mind when using the marine case.

Recording the Video/Still Image Files

Before recording
Submerge the marine case with the camera equipped into a bathtub or water tank full of fresh water. Gradually increase the amount of time the marine case is submerged as shown below.
1st time: 5~10 seconds
2nd time: 30 seconds ~ 1 minute
3rd time: 3 minutes ~ 5 minutes (try operating
the levers and buttons while the marine case is submerged).
NOTES
Always have someone hold the marine case for
you when diving into, or getting out of water. If for any reason water leakage occurs, remove
the camera battery. It may cause the camera to explode.
1 Pull the marine case power/mode switch
lever to release the lock, and switch on the camera’s power.
Rotate the lever to switch on the camera’s power. The camera’s power lamp lights.
2 Press the video recording start/stop button
or the still image shooting button to start recording.

Detaching the Marine Case/Maintenance

Always perform maintenance on the marine case after you have fi nished recording. Failing to perform maintenance on the marine case will allow dirt to build up on the case, causing water leaks.
1 Wash the marine case in water while it is
still sealed.
If the marine case was used in seawater, we
recommend submerging the marine case in fresh water for a while to remove salt.
Move the buttons and levers while the marine
case is submerged, and rinse the salt out from any gaps or grooves etc.
2 Wipe off the water with a dry cloth, and
allow the marine case to completely dry out.
3 Open the marine case, and remove the
camera.

Storing the O-ring

If you do not intend to use the marine case for longer than 1 month, remove the O-ring from the marine case, and spread a thin layer of the supplied silicone grease over the entire O-ring. After that, place the O-ring inside a clean plastic bag, and store it in the maintenance kit case.
The O-ring is an expendable part. Replace the O-ring with a brand new one every year.
NOTES
When re-using an O-ring after storage, always
check the condition of the O-ring.
Never use an O-ring if it is deformed (crushed,
distorted), cracked, or damaged in any way.
Main Specifi cations
Remove
4 Remove the O-ring, and wipe off any salt,
sand, and any other debris.
Also wipe the groove in which the O-ring was inserted, and the part of the marine case that was in contact with the O-ring, and allow them to dry.
5 Wipe the inside of the marine case with a
dry cloth.
Drop a few drops of the cleaning fl uid onto the inside of the front glass, and wipe it off using the silicone cloth etc.
NOTES
Do not leave the marine case in direct sunlight.
Doing so may cause discoloration to the case, and may cause the O-ring to deteriorate more quickly.
When storing the marine case, unlock the power/
mode switch lever.
If you cannot avoid opening the marine case at the
diving point, make sure that drops of water from your hair or your body do not drop into the case.

Precautions

O-ring is important as it keeps the marine case airtight. Failure to attach it correctly may cause water to enter the marine case and the camera inside to malfunction as a result. Pay careful attention when attaching the O-ring.

After shooting (sea salt removal)

Make sure to perform maintenance on the marine case. Salt crystal or dirt will accumulate inside the marine case if maintenance is not performed, and this may cause water leakage.
A Prepare a container that contains fresh water that is five times more
than the volume of the marine case.
• If only small containers are available, pour in fresh water that is equivalent to at least five times the volume of the marine case over a few times, followed by
performing salt removal in
G.
Example: Container with volume
equivalent to 1 marine case
• The container must be big enough to allow the marine case to submerge fully.
• Perform salt removal for the grip as well.
J Pour in water over 5 times
B After diving, submerge the marine case in fresh water for 30 minutes
without removing the camera.
C Temporary salt removal
Shake the marine case in the upward, downward, left and right directions for at least 10 times, followed by rinsing it.
• If you do not need to take out the camera immediately, proceed to G for the actual salt removal.
D Remove the marine case and wipe off water droplets on the case
surface using a dry cloth.

Page 15
E Face the front glass of the marine case upwards, and open the
buckles to remove the camera, while paying attention not to let water droplets at the O-ring or buckles enter the case.
Front glass
F Upon removing the camera, close the marine case again while paying
attention not to allow water droplets enter the case, followed by tightening all the buckles.
G Final salt removal
Submerge the marine case in fresh water for at least 1 hour to remove salt.
• Shaking the case body in the upward and downward directions and rinsing it helps to remove salt more effectively.
• Make sure the marine case is fully submerged in the fresh water.
H Remove the marine case and wipe off water droplets on the case
surface using a dry cloth. Then open the buckles to allow the inside and outside of the case to dry thoroughly.
