4.4 Sealing Your Camera
The Waterproof Housing lets the camera perform up to 10

rotate clockwise until the two black dots are aligned

Notes
1. Failure to properly seal your camera can result in leaks that damage or destroy your
camera. Your warranty does not cover water damage resulting from user damage.
2. The rubber seal on the Cover forms the waterproof barrier to protect the camera in
wet and underwater conditions. You must keep this seal clean as a single strain of
hair or grain of sand can cause a leak into the product.

failure in the seal, in turn, damaging the product.
