Other Maintenance

•

CLEAN THE CONNECTORS!!! - Pay special attention to the condition of the
connectors at the end of the cables. Equally important is the female receptacle in
the battery pod. These metal connectors should “shine like a new penny.”

•

Apply a light film of O-ring grease to cables and connectors to prevent pre-mature
degradation.

•

We highly recommend a factory annual service to maintain proper operation of
your underwater video equipment.
