10. General Storage Procedures
The SealTightTM Connector is what keeps your audio connection safe and
dry underwater. It is designed specifically to create a seal around the
H2O Audio Series Waterproof Headphones (sold separately). Using any
other headphones will not have a complete waterproof connection, and
reduces the waterproof rating to water-resistant.
The CommanderTM Scroll Wheel Control is a waterproof assembly, which
allows you to maintain complete control over the iPod’s Click wheel
functions. Refer to iPod Instruction Manual for complete details of how
to use the player.
For long-term storage, store in a plastic bag out of direct sunlight.
CAUTION: The life of a T-Seal is typically one (1) year. Contact H2O Audio
for spare T-Seals or a maintenance kit. Always remember to reinstall the
T-Seal before next use. Do not expose the housing to extreme heat, such
as the inside of a hot car, or in hot direct sunlight, such as on a beach, or
boat deck. Doing so may cause damage and subsequent flooding.

CAUTION: The housing is succeptible to internal condensation with
