 Please check, and test the housing according to this manual prior to use.

 

Neither NTF Corporation, Resea nor their agents shall warrant or bear any responsibility 

for   any   incident   related   to   water   leakage,   damage   or   loss   of   data,   unauthorized 

modification,   disassembly   and   repair;   or   any   accident   causing   physical   or   material 

damage while using this product.

This product is manufactured by machining methods. As a result, there may be minor 

scratching or tool marks. These are a normal part of the manufacturing process, do not 

effect operation of the housing or camera, and are not subject to warranty or any other 

claims.

WARNING!

 

Do not store or leave housing in reach of infants or small children. The strap may cause 

chocking and suffocation, or small parts may be swallowed causing injury.

Please   remove   digital   camera   from   housing   when   not   in   use.   Battery   malfunction   or 

damage may cause fire.

 

The housing body is made of corrosion-resistant aluminum. However, saltwater can cause 

rusting so be sure to rinse thoroughly using fresh water without fail.

Some   parts   of   this   product   are   made   of   polycarbonate   which   may   be   damaged   by 

chemicals or long periods direct sunlight.

CAUTION!

 To prevent water leakage and damage, DO NOT disassemble or modify this housing.

 Do not store the housing in areas of high humidity, high or low temperatures, or areas of 

extreme temperature fluctuation. Doing so may cause deterioration of parts. 

 When diving, use a method of water entry that protects the housing from shock, which can 

cause water leakage. If at all possible have housing handed to you after entering the 

water.

 This housing is designed to withstand depths of 100 meters (328 feet). Using the housing 

at deeper depths may cause damage and water leakage. Use caution and monitor depth.

 

Remove O-ring or leave housing slightly open when transporting by plane. Pressurization 

of a sealed housing during transport may cause damage or make it difficult to open.

 When opening and closing the housing be mindful of dust and other contaminants which 

may adhere to the O-ring, possibly causing water leakage and damage.

 Always check O-ring prior to each use. Pay special attention to the grease condition and 

that the O-ring is seated uniformly in the O-ring groove with no twists or bulges. Neglecting 

to check the O-ring prior to each use may result in water leakage and damage. 

 

The Port Lens, Flash Window, and LCD Window are manufactured using hard coat acrylic. 

When cleaning please take care not to scratch it.
