MASK PREPARATION AND USE
Prior to using the Mask for the first time, thoroughly clean both sides of the Lens with a
nonabrasive liquid detergent** or toothpaste to remove any residue (**AERIS recom-
mends McNett brand Sea Buff™ Cleaner), then rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
To prevent fogging during use, rub a no fog solution**, or saliva, on the inner surface of
the Mask Lens and Optics while it is still dry (**AERIS recommends McNett brand Sea
Gold™ Anti-Fog Gel), then rinse with water.
Place the Mask on your face and pull the Strap over the top of your head, similar to
donning a typical SCUBA Mask. Adjust the Strap so that it holds the Mask comfortably
and firmly in position on your face without being too tight or restrictive.
To clear water that enters the Mask while underwater, tilt your head back and exhale
gently into the Mask while pressing the top portion of the Frame with your fingers, similar
to clearing a typical SCUBA Mask. Water will be forced out the bottom edge.
To eliminate mask squeeze caused by the higher pressures that are experienced when
diving deeper than a few feet, exhale slowly into the Mask through your nose as you dive
deeper.
To equalize pressure in your ears, pinch your nose closed with your thumb and finger
and blow gently while holding your mouth closed.
