Installing the waterproof case
One of the things about extreme sports is that they have extreme conditions. The
HD Sports camera has it covered (literally) with a waterproof case which allows
you to take it into wet or snow filled environments so you can catch all the action.
Fitting the waterproof case
NOTE
: You cannot mount the camera inside the waterproof case while the LCD
screen is attached.
•
Open the waterproof case by unclipping the buckle on the case
•
Turn the camera ON
•
Insert the camera (lens first) into the case ensuring the two metal buttons
on the case align with the VIDEO and SNAPSHOT buttons on the camera. The
bottom of the case has a screw mount which should align with the screw
mount in the case.
•
Close the door on the waterproof case and refit the clasp.
Once sealed inside the case, you can still trigger the RECORD and SNAPSHOT
buttons without opening the case by pressing the metal spring-loaded buttons
on the case. You can also use the remote control although its range becomes
limited since shielded inside the case, the camera has difficulty detecting the
commands from the remote.
Note
: The laser cannot be used when the camera is installed in the waterproof
case.
Caring for the waterproof case
Before using the waterproof case in a wet environment, make sure the seals are
in good condition and properly fitted. Also, make sure there’s no grit or moisture
around the seals preventing them forming good contact when the case is properly
buckled.
Before heading out, it’s a good idea to test the case in water without the camera
inside to check that no moisture can penetrate the seals. The camera itself is not
waterproof. We’ve tested it so you don’t have to.
Tips for prolonging the life of your waterproof case
Here are some tips for taking care of your waterproof case.
•
Do not refit the seals or disassemble the case in any way since this may affect
the waterproofing of the case.
•
Do not place the case in corrosive environments such as acids or alkali.
•
Do not expose the case to extremes of temperature beyond 500c or below
-100c for long periods as this may cause case deformation.
•
Do not expose the case to direct sunlight for long periods as this may affect
the waterproofing of the case.
•
Avoid dropping or causing any physical damage to the waterproof case as this
may weaken the case and allow water to reach the camera.
•
After using the case in sea water, rinse the waterproof case thoroughly in fresh
water, spot dry with a paper towel and place somewhere cool and ventilated
to dry fully before your next use.
Insert the HD Sports camera into the waterproof
case lens first as shown in the picture above,
close the door and seal it with the clasp.
NOTE: You cannot mount the camera inside the
waterproof case while the LCD screen is attached.
