Safety Precautions

It is very important to read through the following safety
precautions before using your waterproof camera case
in order to guarantee human safety and to avoid
product damage.

1 In the event water leakage is observed while using the
camera case, immediately stop using it and remove it
from the water. Failure to do so may cause an electrical or
fire hazard. Use a soft, clean cloth to remove any water
from the interior of the camera case. Before returning the
case to the water, follow the directions under the title
INSPECTING THE WATER SEAL contained within the
heading titled Caring for Your Waterproof Case and
Your Camera.

2 Remove your camera from the waterproof camera case if
it is not to be used for an extended length of time.

3 Avoid leaving the waterproof camera case in strong
sunlight, near heat or fire. Doing so may cause the camera
case to deform and thereby create a water leakage.

4 Do not use the waterproof camera case in hot water (in
excess of 100°F).

5 Do not use the neck strap when you are diving with the
waterproof camera case. It may become entangled and
cause strangulation or other mishaps.

6 Do not use the waterproof camera case at depths
exceeding 131 feet.

7 Do not attempt to make any alteration to the camera case
as it may affect its waterproof performance.

8 Do not apply excessive force to the camera case body or
its buttons.

9 Inspect the water seal O-ring before using the waterproof
camera case. (See the section titled INSPECTING THE
WATER SEAL.)

10 Do not throw or drop the waterproof camera case.
11 Do not use any water sealing compound on the O-ring
other than the one that comes with the waterproof camera
case; failure to do so may adversely affect its water sealing
performance. If this happens, wipe it off and apply the
water sealing compound that was provided in the package.
12 Avoid inserting or removing your camera in hot or wet

locations.
13 Avoid using the waterproof camera case in a high

temperature environment for too long a period of time.
14 In the event of a large difference between air temperature

and water temperature, water droplets (condensation) may
occur inside the camera case, and the water may damage
the camera. If condensation is discovered, remove the
camera case from the water and clean the inside of it with
a soft, clean cloth before putting it back to use.

TESTING THE WATERPROOF CASE

Before using the Polaroid waterproof case, verify that it is
indeed waterproof.

1 Check that the O-ring is free of dirt or sand particles. Then,
close the case without a camera in it.

2 Dip the case in at least eight inches of clear water for at
least five minutes to ensure there are no leaks.

3 Repeat step two with your camera enclosed in the case.
Check for leaks.

4 If a water leak is observed, remove the camera from the
case and follow the directions the title INSPECTING THE
WATER SEAL contained within the heading titled Caring
for Your Waterproof Case and Your Camera. If the problem
still exists, contact the retailer from which it was purchased.

Caring for Your Waterproof Case and
Your Camera

Please be sure to read through the following safety
precautions before using your Pola roid waterproof
camera case.

INSPECTING THE WATER SEAL

1 Before using the case with your camera, inspect the O-ring.
2 Check to be certain that there is no dirt or foreign particle

either on the O-ring or in the groove of its mating surface
on the front cover. Look for such things as sand or dirt
particles, hair, small bits of metal or paper.

3 Inspect the O-ring for nicks or cuts.
4 Be sure the O-ring hasn’t been flattened or deformed in

any way.
5 If you have reason to remove the O-ring, follow the

instructions in the next section, REMOVING THE 0-RING.

REMOVING THE O-RING

1 Follow the O-ring grove around to the middle of the hinged
side of the rear case. A cut out has been provided to allow
easier and safer removal of the O-ring.

2 Remove the O-ring at the cut out with your fingers or a
blunt instrument such as a toothpick.

3 Do not stretch the O-ring. Stretching will cause the O-ring
to leave gaps for water leakage.

4 Clean the O-ring by flushing it with fresh water and gently
remove dirt using your fingers.

5 Apply one drop of water sealing grease that came with the
Polaroid waterproof camera case and wipe it along the
entire length of the O-ring using two fingers pulling from
one direction until the circumference of the O-ring has
been covered. The sealing compound must evenly cover
the O-ring. Do not overstretch the O-ring while applying
the grease.

Note: Use only your clean fingers to apply the grease.
Using paper, a cloth or similar material will not coat the
O-ring evenly.

6 Applying too much water sealing compound may cause
water leakage.

7 Carefully return the O-ring to its groove on the rear cover.
8 It is a good idea to remove, clean and lubricate the O-ring
on a regular basis to ensure that the camera case retains
its leak-proof performance.
9 It is recommended that the O-ring be replaced once a year

regardless of its condition.

AFTER USE MAINTENANCE

1 After using the waterproof case for underwater
photography or out in the rain or snow, the exterior of the
case should be wiped dry with a clean, soft cloth.

2 Remove your camera from the case.
3 Close and lock the empty case .
4 Now use plenty of fresh, clean water to rinse the case
thoroughly. Water should not exceed 100°F; hotter water
may damage the case.
5 If the camera case was used in sea water, a longer

cleaning time is required. Allow the case to soak for a
few hours before wiping it dry. Be sure the entire case
remains submerged.

6 To eliminate the possibility of scratching the case, be sure
there are no particles of sand or dirt on the case or on the
cleaning cloth when wiping the case.

7 Open the case and clean the interior by gently wiping all
surfaces with a clean, dry cloth.
