WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGE

• When you travel abroad, camp or backpack, you run a risk of illness ranging
from the inconvenience and discomfort of diarrhea to more serious illnesses
caused by protozoan cysts (i.e., Giardia, Cryptosporidium), viruses and
bacteria.
• The microorganisms that cause these diseases are often found in the food and
water you consume. Lakes, streams and the local water supply may also be
contaminated.
• To minimize the risk of contracting these illnesses, we suggest that you consult
with your physician, state health department or travelers’ clinic 4 - 6 weeks
before you depart.
• And while you are traveling
– Make sure that prepared food is thoroughly cooked to the following
instructions.
– Select non-cooked foods (fruits, nuts, etc.) that have intact shells or skins,
and clean your hands before peeling the food.
– Wash your hands with soap and warm water thoroughly and often,
especially before you eat.
– Filter all drinking water with your Katadyn Gravity Camp 6L Microlter or
Base Camp Pro 10L Microlter, including water used for brushing teeth,

Step 1: Wrap protector sheet around cartridge (there will be approximately a
5 cm overlap) and hold in place.
