• 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 to direct sunlight for long periods to prevent deterioration of
waterproofing.
• Before every use, ensure that the O-ring is intact, that there are no foreign bodies on the
seal, that the case is properly sealed and that the seal is watertight.
• After use in salt water, immediately rinse the case under running water.
• Use a dry cloth to dry the surface and store the device in a dry and ventilated place.
