4.
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.
5.
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.
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.
7.
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.
8.
Never dive with the Fantasea FS-5 housing to a depth greater
than 130 ft/40 meters.
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: service@fantasea.com or
visit the Fantasea Customer Service section at the end of this
manual or on the Fantasea web site www.fantasea.com.
10.
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.
11.
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.
12.
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.
