 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

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

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.

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

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

that   the   O-rings   are   seated   uniformly  in   the   O-ring   grooves   with   no   twists   or  bulges. 

Neglecting   to   check   the   O-rings   prior   to   each   use   may   result   in   water   leakage   and 

damage.

not to scratch it.
