WATERPROOF CASE

 Before sealing the waterproof case, keep the camera housing’s

rubber seal clean, a single hair or grain of sand can cause a leak.

You can test by closing the case without inserting the camera.

Submerse the case completely in water for about a minute. Remove

the case from the water, dry off its exterior with a towel, and then

open the case. If the interior is dry, the case is safe for use under

48

water.

 After use in salt water you will need to rinse the outside of the

housing with fresh water and then dry. This will prevent corrosion of

the hinge pin and salt buildup in the seal, which can cause failure.

 To clean the seal, rinse in fresh water and shake dry (drying with a

cloth may cause lint to compromise the seal). Re-install the seal into

the grooves in the backdoor of the housing.
