Safety measures

Waterproof casing:

• Maximum immersion depth of the casing is 30 meters.
- Before installing the waterproof casing, make sure that it is clean; a single hair or grain of sand can cause it to lose its seal. The casing may be tested by closing it without putting the camera in. Immerse the casing completely in water for about a minute. Remove the casing from the water, wipe the outer part with a towel and then open it. If the inside of the casing is dry, it means that it can be safely used under water.
- After each use of the casing in salt water, rinse the outer part in fresh water, then dry. Failure to follow this instruction may cause corrosion of the hinge pin and accumulation of salt in the gasket, which in turn may completely damage the casing.
- To clean the gasket, rinse it in fresh water and shake (drying with cloth may cause snagging of the gasket). Re-insert the gasket into the grooves in the back flap of the waterproof casing.

TF Card:

• The camera supports TF (Micro SD) high-speed (minimum calss4) high capacity cards - up to 32 GB.
• Before using the card for the first time or after using the card in another device, format the card.
• Before inserting and removing the card from the camera, be sure to turn off the device.

• After long period of use the card may be warm and its memory capacity may be reduced.
