Important Notes on Waterproof Function and Waterproof Housing
 Read and understand the instructions contained in this manual before
using underwater.
 The inner camera is not waterproof or shock protected. Seal the camera
inside the waterproof housing in areas of water, rain, snow, high humidity,
sand, dirt or combustible gas*.
* Warning - the camera inside the waterproof housing IS NOT certified
to be intrinsically safe. Using the camera in an environment containing
combustible gases may result in explosion or fire.
 Follow these important O-ring care instructions or the waterproof housing
may leak.
* Do not lubricate o-ring.
* Inspect and clean O-ring and O-ring contact surfaces for sand, hair and
other debris before every use. Clean O-ring and O-ring contact surfaces
with cleaning brush provided.
* Inspect O-ring and O-ring contact surfaces for damage (cuts, scratches,
tears, cracks, dents and any other imperfections.) Replace O-ring or have
waterproof housing serviced if the O-ring or O-ring contact surfaces become
damaged.
* Do not use underwater housing if O-ring or O-ring contact surfaces are
damaged.
* Make sure O-ring is completely seated into O-ring groove before sealing
housing.
* Make sure the O-ring is not twisted when seated in the O-ring groove.
* Carefully follow O-ring removal and installation instructions contained on
page 67 of this manual.
* Replace O-ring every year to ensure proper seal. Only use approved
SeaLife O-ring designed for the DC1400 (Item # SL72017). Replacement
O-rings are available at your local authorized SeaLife dealer, or online at
www.sealifepartsdirect.com (USA Only).
 Carefully close lid and latch to seal housing and make sure there are no
obstructions that prevent housing from closing or sealing properly.
