However please note that responsibility for ensuring the integrity of the watertight seal lies entirely with the user. 10BAR accepts no liability for damage to, or loss of any equipment used with, or placed inside the housing. Users are highly recommended to carry out in-water test of the housings without installing of the camera for their first dive, after change of new ports or alternation of any new configuration.

When to maintain the O-ring seal Remove the O-ring periodically for inspection. It is not necessary to remove, clean and re-install the O-ring after every dive provided the O-rings are not become contaminated. As a rule of thumbs set up the camera and housing before a day’s diving.

Once the O-ring has been inspected and verified fit for use, apply a SMALL amount of silicone grease to the O-ring. The silicone grease must be evenly distributed round the O-ring Replace the O-ring into the groove; run a finger round the O-ring, to make sure it is snugly seated in the groove.

4.5 Mounting the camera in the housing: Remove the lens cap and wrist strap. The pressure release plug should be pulled out before inserting the camera. Attach the plastic slide tray to the camera’s tripod mounting fixture with a coin, screwdriver or the end of the universal tool supplied. Take care not to excessively tighten the screw.
The O-ring on the underside of the plug is just to keep out dirt. Replace the lid and make sure the lever is perpendicular to the side wall of the housing. Lock the lid by press down the lever and turn until the lever is parallel to the side wall of the housing. After replacing and locking the lid, make a final visual inspection of the main O-ring for contamination.
