PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS FOR THE WATERPROOF CASE
The waterproof case is a precision component. Please use the following precautions:
• Do not randomly dismount and mount the O-ring of the case, keys and lens cover without assistance, otherwise the waterproof performance deteriorates.
• Do not put the case in a place where corrosive gases are easily generated due to the existence of strong acid or alkali and keep it away from chemical or corrosive substances.
• Do not store the product in a place where temperature is too high (over 50°C) or low (- 10°C) for a long time to avoid deformation.
• Do not expose it to direct sunlight for a long time to avoid deterioration of the waterproof performance.
• Before the use, ensure that the O-ring is intact, the seal is litter-free, the case is fully sealed and the buckle is tight.
• After using the case in sea water, wash it using fresh water, clean it and dry it in a cool place.
PRECAUTIONS FOR THE 3M DUAL-SIDE FOAM TAPE
When using the 3M dual-side foam tape, adhere to the following precautions:
• Before fixing the 3M dual-side foam tape, select a proper surface to ensure proper contact between the foam tape and the surface.
• Before using the 3M dual-side foam tape, clean the surface and heat the foam tape, using for instance an electric blower, especially in a place where temperature is lower than ­20°C.
Before using F-60 video camera, pay attention to the following notice information:
• During continuous use, the body temperature of F-60 video camera increases. The situation is normal.
• If the video camera is not used for a long time, remove and keep the battery properly and recharge it every six months to ensure the battery performance.
• During recording, the digital zoom may affect the image quality.
• Shooting view angles are slightly different in different working modes of the video camera.
• If a video file is large in size, a computer or other professional players are preferred for a
smooth playback.
• Cyclic recording and frequent recording/deleting operations may leave data fragments in the SD card, causing failure to file recording or saving. To solve this problem, just backup the data on an external storage and format the SD card.
