Notes

1. There is only one correct direction to insert the MicroSD card into the slot. Do not force the card into the card slot as it may damage both the camera and the MicroSD card.

2. A new MicroSD card should be formatted before using. For more information, please see section 5.

4.4 Sealing Your Camera

The Waterproof Housing lets the camera perform at depths up to 10 meters (about 30 feet) under water. You must seal the camera with Back Cover in order to protect the camera when using it in wet or moist conditions.

To secure the Back Cover

1. Attach the Back Cover to the back of the camera and rotate clockwise until the two solid dots are aligned

2. Slide the latch on the Back Cover to the lock position.

To open the back cover, slide the latch on the back cover out of the "lock" position. Rotate the cover counterclockwise until the hollow dot is aligned with the solid dot.

Notes:

1. Failure to properly seal your camera can result in leaks that could damage or destroy your camera. Your warranty does not cover water damage resulting from user error.

2. The rubber seal on the Back Cover forms the waterproof barrier to protect the camera in wet and underwater conditions. You must keep this seal clean as even a single strand of hair or grain of sand can cause a leak.

3. After every use in salt water, you will need to rinse the outside of the product and the seal with non-salt water and dry it thoroughly. Failure to properly clean the camera could cause corrosion in the product or failure in the seal, which in turn, would damage the product.
