Maintenance and Storage
CAUTION
● Never use chemicals, cosmetics, any petroleum solvents such as paint thinner,
or neutral detergent on the product. They may deform and damage the product.
● After each use in salt water, make sure it is
watertight, then soak it sufficiently in fresh
water and rinse with running water.
Operate all the buttons, dials or levers
underwater, but do not operate the buckle /
buckle lock buttons.
● Insufficient soaking causes damage by salt
to the product. Salty residue may be left on
the product where it will crystallize as it
evaporates. Crystallized salt is hard to
dissolve and difficult to be removed once
formed, and it will result in water leakage.
● After rinsing, dry the product well with a soft dry cloth, then let the product
dry in the shade, out of direct sunlight.
● Do not dry the product by heating (using a hair dryer, for example).
Heating can deform and damage the product.
● If you will not use the product for an extended period of time, store it away from
high temperatures, high humidity, direct sunlight, or exterme cold.
● Do not store the product with naphthalene or camphor mothballs, or in locations
such as a laboratory where chemicals are used. This environment can cause
mold, rust, corrosion or malfunction.
● Always remove the camera from the housing after use. Thoroughly wipe off
water before opening the housing and avoid any water drops inside the housing.
● After using the product, maintain the O-rings before storing. Examine the O-rings
before and after each dive. We recommend early exchange of the O-rings, at
least once a year.
● Every two years we recommend a complete overhaul of O-rings regardless of
the frequency in use, for the best performance of the product.
