SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Improper transportation handling or use of this housing might cause a flooding or malfunction.
Please read and follow the following precautions:
-
Store and transport the housing in a sturdy, shock proof container and avoid travelling
with the camera mounted inside the housing as impact forces especially on the external
push buttons will be transferred to the camera.
-
When travelling by air, either remove the port or open the housing.
-
Never change a port or open the housing in a location where sand or similar foreign
material might come in contact with an O-ring
-
Use of accessories or modifications and alterations unauthorized by the manufacturer
may result in flooding or poor functioning of the controls
-
Be careful when opening the housing as the pressure build up inside the housing
will exaggerate the force of the latch spring. Keep fingers away from the path
of the latches.
-
Whenever changing ports or O-rings, perform a simple seal test with out the
camera inside.
-
Avoid scratching the acrylic ports and windows.
-
Make sure that all ports remain properly attached before rinsing the housing.
Especially when rinsing without a strobe make sure the Bulkhead connector is
sealed with its plug.
-
Never attempt to operate the camera in auto focus mode with the lens mounted
focus gear engaged with the housing gear.
-
Remove the main O-ring seals and clean after every use. Read and follow the
Care and Maintenance instructions on this manual.
-
Ensure that the spring loaded secondary lock is properly engaged to prevent the
accidental opening of latches.
