Safety precautions
Please carefully read and follow the following precautions and recommendations:
Improper transportation, handling or use of this housing might cause a flood or a
malfunction. Follow all recommendations stated in the next sections of this
manual.
Never remove, change a port or open the housing in a location where sand or
similar foreign material might come in contact with an O-ring. Be wary of strong
winds as they could potentially be carrying sand or other harmful particulate
matter.
Always perform a simple preventive seal test without the camera inside after doing
maintenance on the housing.
Non-authorized use of third party accessories, as well as modifications and/or
alterations not specifically authorized by Aquatica may affect performance, cause
poor functioning of the controls or impair the sealing integrity of the housing.
Always handle the ports carefully. Protect them when not in use to avoid scratching
the acrylic or glass surface of ports and windows.
Always confirm that the ports remain properly attached before rinsing the housing.
When rinsing without a wired strobe, confirm that the bulkhead strobes connectors
are sealed with their plug.
Never jump into the water with the housing. Have the system handed to you after
you have made your entry or have it lowered to you on a rope.
Never handle the housing by grabbing the port, or if using one, the Aqua View
finder.
Make sure that boat staff are familiar with these procedures and advise them to
manipulate the housing by using the grips provided with the housing.
