Camcorder Maintenance

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
1) Before using the camcorder underwater make sure you know how the camcorder works.
Reading through the Camera Manual will help you get to know your camcorder.
2) Insert the SD card and charge the battery away from water and with dry hands before going
underwater.
3) Make sure the water resistant USB cover is closed properly before going underwater with your
camcorder.
4) Do not open the USB cover while underwater.
5) Use the camcorder as you normally would to capture photos and videos.
6) The digital camcorder is a delicate device. Please handle your camcorder with care to avoid
damaging it.
7) Do not expose your camcorder to heat sources.
8) If the camcorder cannot be used correctly, please use a thin stick or rod and insert it into the reset
hole to reset the camcorder. The stick cannot be too sharp in order not to destroy the silicon inside
the reset hole.
DRYING OUT YOUR CAMCORDER AFTER USING UNDERWATER
After capturing images underwater it is normal that some water will enter the body (but not USB cover
if closed properly) of the camcorder. This will not damage the camcorder or the images captured.
Once out of the water, dry the camera with a dry towel. Any water in the camcorder will eventually dry
out by itself. Turn and rest the camcorder top down on a dry and flat surface as shown in the diagram
below. This will allow the water to drain. This may take up to 3-4 hours to dry by itself.
