Do not use grease or any other type of lubricant on the
gasket
when closing the housing. It does not increase the
ability of the gasket to make a proper seal.
4.
Be careful not to get greasy fingerprints or dirt on the lens
port. This will affect the image quality. Wipe any dirt or grease
off with fresh water and a soft cloth.
5.
Travel with the housing protected in a padded case. It is best
to remove the camera from inside the housing when traveling
and provide it with its own protective case, or compartment.
7.
Never dive with the
Fantasea
FL-6 housing to a depth
greater than 130 ft/40 meters.
8.
It is recommended that you select the shortest time option on
the menu, for placing the camera into standby during periods
of inactivity. This will conserve battery power and reduce the
heat given off by the LCD screen, which can contribute to
condensation inside the housing and fogging.
10.
It is strongly recommended to take the first dive without the
camera inside the housing. You should check that the water
tight seal has not been affected during transport and long
periods of storage.
11.
9. It is recommended to have annual maintenance of all Fantasea
housings. This includes visual inspection and possible changing
of all seals / gaskets / o-rings. It is recommended to use an
authorized Fantasea Service Center for this purpose. Please
contact Fantasea Line by email: [email protected] or
visit the Fantasea Customer Service section at the end of this
manual or on the Fantasea web site www.fantasea.com.
It is likewise recommended to visually monitor the housing
during every descent, especially for the first 10 meters/33 ft.
If water is observed entering the housing or bubbles escaping
from it, the housing should be rotated to
a port down position
and held that way as you return to the surface immediately
and get out of the water.
12.
6. Do not drop the housing on hard surfaces. It is not a shock
absorber, and could crack, affecting its watertight integrity.
It could also cause damage to the camera inside.

Flood Insurance:
Every
Fantasea
housing includes a one-year flood insurance policy.
Supplied by the Divers Equipment Protection Program (DEPP),
this insurance policy acts as additional protection to the warranty
and is good for one year. If your
Fantasea
housing experiences
water leakage in this period of time you will be compensated for
the loss of the camera. Only a small shipping charge will apply. All
insurance policies should be activated at the time of purchase. All
owners must complete the on-line product registration form by
going to www.fantasea.com and go to the Customer Support tab
and choose Product Registration; you will be taken to this page--
http://www.fantasea.com/product_registration.asp where you can
complete the form and register your housing purchase. Failure to
register the product within 30 days of purchase will result in a
shorter period of insurance coverage for your housing and may in
the end cancel the flood insurance coverage all together. Also, you
must keep the original sales receipt of your purchase, which must
be submitted in the event of a claim: include it in the box .
