pREvEnting WAtER DAmAgE to YouR cAmERA
The rubber seal that lines the camera housing forms a waterproof barrier that
protects your HD HERO2 in wet and underwater conditions. You must keep
the rubber seal of the camera housing clean. A single hair or grain of sand can
cause a leak.
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 seal, which can cause failure.
To clean the seal, rinse it in fresh water and shake it dry (drying with a cloth can
cause lint to compromise the seal). Re-install it into the grooves in the backdoor
of the housing.
WARning: Failure to follow these steps each time you use your HD HERO2 can
result in leaks that damage or destroy your camera. Your warranty does not
cover water damage resulting from user error.
