FG7X II Housing Instruction Manual 20160808
MOISTURE SENSOR AND ALARM
The
FG7X II Housing
comes with a Moisture Sensor installed on the bottom of the housing, and a Moisture
Alarm (installed on inner side of the housing latch dial – see Image #10). Moisture sensors are very
sensitive, and whenever moisture is detected by the Moisture Sensor the Moisture Alarm is activated, the
LED light flashes and a warning alarm beeps, thereby alerting the user to a possible leak. For further
instructions, please refer to the
Fantasea Moisture Sensor and Alarm
section later in this Manual.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
The Fantasea
FG7X II Housing
requires a minimum amount of care for safe and reliable performance.
The following tips will enable you to get the best results:
1.
With the housing securely closed and locked, rinse your housing in streaming tap water and if
possible, soak the housing in fresh tap water or a rinse tank for about 20 minutes after every
dive in order to dissolve the salt water crystals from around the controls and openings of the
housing. Manipulate each of the movable controls to assist the removal of salt particles from
these tight areas.
2.
Allow the housing to dry thoroughly before packing for the day or for the trip home. You may
use a soft towel or cloth to dry the housing. Be sure there is no grease or other debris on the
towel.
3.
Visually check the condition of the black O-ring before every dive. If it is dirty, clean it with
fresh water and dry it with a soft cloth as described in this manual. If it is damaged in any way,
such as cut or perforated, replace it before using the housing again.
4.
It is recommended that you periodically slightly lubricate the black O-ring. It's important to
note that the amount of lubrication required on the O-ring is only enough to allow it to slip into
place without friction, so it does not twist or become dislodged. More lubricant is not
necessarily better, and in some cases might interfere with the housing watertight seal.
5.
Use only the supplied silicone lubricant for lubricating the back door black O-ring. Use of any
other lubricant might impair the watertight seal of the housing.
6.
Avoid removing the white O-ring that is inserted into the groove on the inside of the housing
body (not on the door) unless it’s damaged.
7.
Be careful not to get greasy fingerprints or dirt on the lens port. This will affect the image
quality. Remove dirt or grease off with fresh water and a soft cloth.
8.
Never handle the housing with your hands if your hands are soiled from suntan oil, lotion or
cream. Avoid getting any oils, creams or petrol-related substances or liquids on the housing
surface, as this can distort or damage the housing materials.
9.
Do not drop the housing on hard surfaces as the housing could crack and its watertight seal
might be damaged.
10.
Do not disassemble or modify the housing, as this may cause leaks.
11.
Do not leave the housing in direct sunlight, inside a car in hot weather, or near a heater. Heat
may warp the housing and cause leaks. If you must to leave the housing in the sun, it is
important to cover it with a towel.
12.
Travel with the housing protected in a padded case. It is best to remove the camera from inside
the housing when traveling and to provide it with its own protective case or compartment.
