Camera Case

NOTICE

You must perform proper care and maintenance for the camera 

case (

Caring for the Removable Camera Case

, page 14

)

Failure to perform proper care and maintenance may cause 

damage to the removable camera case or gasket and allow 

water to leak into the case during use. Exposing the camera to 

water will cause permanent damage to the camera and battery, 

which may present a risk of fire, chemical burn, electrolyte leak, 

and/or injury.
The included camera case provides rugged protection for your 

camera, and it provides water protection when used with the 

watersports camera case door.
Two camera case doors are included in the package.

The watersports door 

À

 is installed on your camera case by 

default. The altimeter door 

Á

 is included in the box. You can 

quickly change the camera case door based on your activity.
While the watersports door is installed, the case is water-

resistant up to 40 m and is suitable for many water activities, 

including swimming, snorkeling, and high-speed watersports. 

The altimeter sensor does not function while the watersports 

door is installed.
While the altimeter door is installed, your device records more 

accurate elevation and grade data, and additional G-Metrix data, 

including jump height and vertical speed. The altimeter door 

provides an IEC 60529 IPX7 water rating suitable for rain and 

light splashes. The altimeter door is not suitable for watersports, 

immersion, or other exposure to water or other liquids.
Go to 

garmin.com/waterrating

 for more information about water 

ratings and suitable water activities.

Changing the Camera Case Door

1

Open the camera case door 

À

 completely.

2

Pull the camera case door away from the camera.
The door releases from the quick-release hinge 

Á

.

3

Align the other camera case door with the quick-release 

hinge, and press it toward the camera until it snaps into 

place.

4

Verify the gasket 

Â

 is fully seated in the groove.

5

Close and latch the camera case door.

Installing an Anti-Fog Desiccant Pack

 WARNING

Do not eat desiccant packs. Desiccant packs contain silica, 

which may cause irritation in your digestive system. Desiccant 

packs are harmful if swallowed by an infant or pet and pose a 

choking hazard.
For the best clarity and image quality, you should install an anti-

fog desiccant pack to reduce fogging inside the camera case or 

on the camera lens. A desiccant pack kit is included in the 

product box. Go to 

www.garmin.com/VIRB

 to purchase 

additional desiccant packs.

NOTE: 

When using the camera case in water or in humid 

environments, it is normal for some fog to form inside the case, 

especially after the camera has been in use for an extended 

time. In very cold or humid environments, some fog may appear 

even while the desiccant pack is installed.

1

Open the camera case.

2

Insert the desiccant pack 

À

 between the camera and the 

case.

3

Close and latch the camera case.

Anti-fog Desiccant Pack Storage and Maintenance

• To preserve the effectiveness of the desiccant packs, you 

should seal them in the included foil bag when they are not in 

use. You should store the included humidity indicator card in 

the bag with the desiccant packs.

• If the dots on the humidity indicator card turn green while 

stored with the desiccant packs, the desiccant packs are 

saturated. When saturated, the desiccant packs lose their 

effectiveness, and you should dry them before using them 

again.

• If the desiccant packs become saturated, you can heat them 

at 85°C (185°F) for 60 minutes to dry them for reuse.
