Use & Care of Housing
Pre Dive Function Check
Just before entering the water, review the steps that you have carried out to properly close the
housing. Most importantly check that the housing is closed. Take a visual check of the gasket seal. It
is also useful to switch on the camera and check that controls e.g.
functions operate normally. In case of misalignment of the camera, simply open the case and correct
the problem. Check also the battery status on the LCD display.
General Operation
The control levers and push buttons consist of internal double O-ring seals on a stainless steel shaft.
This arrangement is very reliable. As a precaution though, when operating the controls, one should
avoid excessive rapid movements, as this may cause a distortion of the O-ring. You should realize that
the camera takes a few seconds to
action, be sure that no other controls are pressing on the camera, i.e. locking out further actions. Wear
the wrist strap--it is easy to inadvertently let go of the housing, especially if you are distracted.
Cleaning & Storage
Care and Maintenance
The body and lid of the housing are made of polycarbonate. Polycarbonate was selected for its
outstanding tensile strength, hardness, toughness and its crystal clear transparency/ high gloss surface.
It has good resistance to weathering, although long-term exposure to sunlight should be avoided.
Normal operating temperature range temperature range is from 3°C to 36°C [37-97°F]--Storage
temperature: -10°C to 50°C) [14-122°F]
It is good practice to rinse off your housing with fresh water after every dive. Avoid exposure to fine
sand. After a series of 10 or more dives, e.g. after a dive holiday, it is recommended to immerse the
housing for 2-3 hours in warm water to dissolve any salt deposits that may have built up. No chemical
cleaners should be used. Mild detergents e.g. shampoo and soap based cleaners are permitted.
