Moisture Alarm 

(refer Fig. 13)

LCD Moisture Alarm - Audio and visual alarms will signal if moisture is 

detected inside the housing. Alarm performs a three second diagnostic check 
when initially receiving power.

When camcorder transitions from Memory to Camera modes there is 
a 2-3 seconds pause while the camcorder keys the tape. The Monitor 
Back will black out during this time and LED alarm will sound when 
Monitor Back is re-powered.

Pre-Dive Checklist

1.  Install the appropriate media into the camcorder.
2.  Install a completely charged battery in the camcorder.
3.  Verify operation of all housing controls.
4.  Check that the front bayonet port is securely engaged and that the latch 

pin is in the locked position. Clean lens if necessary.

5.  Check that the monitor back O-rings are seated correctly and that the 

rear latches are in the closed and locked position. 

First Time Use

All Light and Motion housings are pressure tested prior to shipping. 

However, there could be unseen damage due to shipping. A test 
dive without the camcorder in the housing is recommended. 

 

After the initial dive with just the housing, make the following checks:

1.  Dry off housing exterior.
2.  Remove the monitor back and visually inspect for moisture.
3.  Reach inside the housing and trace a finger around all view ports and 

mating surfaces.

4.  If any water is detected, contact the housing reseller or the Light & 

Motion service department.

After Diving Care

1.  Immediately submerge the housing in fresh water. While in fresh water, 

work all the switches and press all the buttons, to work any remaining salt 
water out of the housing buttons.

2.  Remove housing from rinse tank and then simply towel dry.
