Never put the housing in the sun. Aside from the mentioned maintenance commands, the HUGYFOT Nikon D90 housing is fairly simple to maintain. Some issues however should be kept in mind: When finishing a dive one has to rinse the closed housing with a closed flash connection (plug or protection cap) under the shower or in a rin- sing tub. - Page 22 When the control switches are mounted you may mount the camera into the housing. Now check all the controls on their proper function- ing. Always perform a pressure test after removing/installing control switches or perform a testdive without camera inside the housing.
