Waterproof Case Using Notice

Before scaling 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, then open the case. If the entire interior is dry, the case is safe for use under water.

Remember to put the Mode Switch in your desired recording position before inserting the camera in the waterproof case. There is no external button for the Mode Switch.
◆ After every use in salt water you will need to rinse the outside of the housing with non-salt water and dry. Not doing this can eventually cause 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.
