NOTE:
A single hair or grain of sand can cause a leak. You can test by closing the case without
inserting the camera. Submerse the case completely in water for about a minute. Remove
the case from the water, dry off its exterior with a towel, and then open the case. If the
entire interior is dry, the case is safe for use under water.
Before opening the waterproof casing and putting the device in, carefully check whether
the waterproof ring of the casing is flat and smooth.
After placing the device into the waterproof casing and closing the cover, carefully check
whether the waterproof ring is deformed due to pressure.
After every use in salt water you will need to rinse the outside of the 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 of the housing.
