Caution - Caution - Caution - Caution - Caution

We hope you have a wonderful underwater experience with Light & Motion equipment. To increase your enjoyment and the life span of your new gear please take an extra minute to review these general recommendations.

• Check the operation of all your equipment several weeks prior to your trip. If maintenance or repair is necessary, then time is available for both shipping and repair scheduling.

• Never transport or ship the housing with the camera inside. This may damage your camera.

• Never leave your housing in the rinse tank, it may be damaged by other equipment.

• When removing the camera from the housing after a dive, do so in a dry controlled environment away from other SCUBA related equipment. This prevents water from other equipment or water from another diver accidentally entering the housing.

• If a product is flooded, immediately rinse it with fresh water. Most parts will be salvageable if not corroded by salt water.

1. Dry off housing exterior.

2. Remove the Rear Plate and visually inspect for moisture.

3. Reach inside the housing and trace a finger around mating surfaces.

4. If any water is detected, contact your housing reseller or the Light & Motion service Department.
