Waterproof Case
Before sealing the waterproof case, keep the camera housing’s rubber seal clean, a single hair or grain of
sand can cause a leak. You can test by closing the case without inserting the camera. Submerse the case
completely in water for about one minute. Remove the case from the water, dry off its exterior with a towel,
and then open the case. If the interior is dry, the case is safe for use under water.
After use in salt water you will need to rinse the outside of the housing with fresh water and dry it. This will
prevent corrosion of the hinge pin and salt buildup in the seal, which can cause failure.
To clean the seal, rinse in fresh water and shake dry (drying with a cloth may cause lint to compromise the
seal). Re-install the seal into the grooves in the backdoor of the housing.
