SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Please carefully read the following precautions and recommendations:

Improper transportation, handling or use of this housing might cause a flood or malfunction. See Storage and transportation of housing and 

ports section on page13

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 wind as it could potentially be carrying sand. Always perform a simple seal test without the camera inside after 

doing maintenance.

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 port carefully, like the sensitive optics they are, protect them when not in use to avoid scratching the acrylic or glass surface 

of the ports and windows.

Always confirm that the ports remain properly attached before rinsing the housing. An optional port locking collars is available (#18469) for 

securing larger dome to the extension ring. When rinsing without a wired strobe, confirm that the bulkhead strobes connectors are sealed 

with their plug.
