Cleaning The Device; Caring For The Removable Camera Case; Support And Updates; Connecting The Device To Your Computer - Garmin VIRB Ultra 30 Owner's Manual

Do not store the device where prolonged exposure to extreme
temperatures can occur, because it can cause permanent
damage.

Cleaning the Device

Do not use chemicals, alcohol, solvents, or other cleaners to
clean the camera.
1
Wipe the outer casing and lens with a clean, dry, non-
scratch, lint-free cloth.
2
If the dry cloth does not fully clean the camera, remove the
camera battery, and lightly dampen the cloth with a small
amount of water.
The camera is not water resistant. Use only a very small
amount of water. Verify the camera is off and the battery is
removed before using a damp cloth to clean it. Avoid using a
damp cloth near the ports and keys.
3
Allow the camera to dry fully before you replace the battery or
turn it on.

Caring for the Removable Camera Case

Failure to perform proper care and maintenance may cause
damage to the removable camera case or gasket and allow
water to leak into the case during use. Exposing the camera to
water will cause permanent damage to the camera and battery,
which may present a risk of fire, chemical burn, electrolyte leak,
and/or injury.
Do not expose the camera or battery to water or other liquids.
These care instructions apply only to the removable camera
case.
You must follow these steps after each use to help preserve the
water protection, lens clarity, and mechanical functions of the
removable camera case.
1
Remove the camera case from the camera.
2 Carefully remove the gasket from the camera case door.
3
Thoroughly rinse the camera case and gasket with fresh
water.
This is especially important when the camera case has been
exposed to salt water, chlorine, or other chemicals. Extended
exposure to chemicals may damage the case, including
fogging of the case and lens, and corrosion of the hinge and
latch materials.
4
Verify the gasket and gasket groove are free of debris.
Even very small debris can prevent the gasket from sealing
properly and compromise the waterproof seal.
5
Replace the gasket onto the camera case door, and verify
the gasket is seated fully into the groove.
6
Allow the case to air dry.
You should not dry the case or gasket with a cloth. Lint or
debris from the cloth may compromise the waterproof seal.
