PRO TIP:
Apply Rain-X ® or a similar anti-beading solution to the
camera housing lens to prevent water spots from forming when using
your camera in rain or water.
SWAPPING BACKDOORS
You can switch the backdoor of your HERO4 Silver camera to suit your
activity and shooting conditions.
To Change the Backdoor:
1. Open the backdoor of the housing so that it hangs downwards.
2. Firmly pull the backdoor downwards until it snaps free from the
main housing.
3. Line up the replacement backdoor into the hinge opening.
4. Push upwards on the backdoor until it clicks into place.

PREVENTING WATER DAMAGE TO YOUR CAMERA
The rubber seal that lines the camera housing forms a waterproof barrier
that protects your HERO4 Silver in wet and underwater conditions.
Keep the camera housing’s rubber seal clean. A single hair or grain
of sand can cause a leak and damage your camera.
After every use in salt water, rinse the outside of the camera housing
with non-salt water and dry. Not doing this can eventually cause
corrosion of the hinge pin and salt buildup in the seal, which can
cause failure.
To clean the seal, rinse in fresh water and shake dry (drying with a
cloth may cause lint to compromise the seal). Re-install the seal into
the grooves in the backdoor of the camera housing.
WARNING: Failure to follow these steps each time you use
your GoPro can result in leaks that may damage or destroy your
camera. Water will damage both the camera and the battery,
which could cause an explosion or fire. Your warranty does not
cover water damage resulting from user error.
