Waterproof management

You can use this camera underwater to a maximum depth of 9.8 feet (3m) in an ocean, iake, or similar underwater environment for one hour. To ensure the camera operates properiy underwater, you must practice the correct waterproof management before and after using the camera, as foiiows.

s Before using the camera

1. Make sure that there is no dirt, dust, or sand on the camera and that the lens is always kept clean.

- If there is foreign matter or moisture on the battery chamber cover

or the USB cover, wipe them with a smooth, lint free cloth. Also check if there are any scratches on the waterproof seal.

USB cover

2. Make sure that the battery chamber cover and the USB cover make a clicking sound when closing them, so that they are firmly shut.

• Do not open the battery chamber cover or the USB cover under water, with a wet hand, or in any environment that has a great deal of moisture and dirt.

I While using the camera:

- Do not use the camera under water at a depth of more than 9.8 feet (3m).

- Do not use the camera continuously for over one hour under water.

- Do not open the battery chamber cover and the USB cover under

water.

- Do not use the camera in hot water.

- Do not leave the camera on the sand. Sand may enter the speaker or the microphone, and the camera may get hot if it is exposed to direct sunlight for a prolonged time.

- The waterproof performance may deteriorate if the camera is struck,

dropped, subjected to strong pressure or to strong vibration.

- The accessories that came with the camera are not waterproof.

■ After using the camera

1. Make sure that any water and dirt on the camera are removed with a dry cloth after using the camera under water.
