SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Improper transportation handling or use of this housing might cause a ood or malfunction.
Please read and follow the following precautions:
• Store and transport the housing in a sturdy, shock proof container and avoid travelling with the camera mounted
inside the housing as impact forces especially on the external push buttons will be transferred to the camera.
• When travelling by air, either remove the port or open the housing.
• Never change a port or open the housing in a location where sand or similar foreign material might come in
contact with an O-ring
• Use of accessories or modications and alterations unauthorized by the manufacturer may result in ooding
or poor functioning of the controls
• Be careful when opening the housing as the pressure buildup inside the housing will exaggerate the force of
the latch spring. Keep ngers away from the path of the latches.
• Whenever changing ports or O-rings, perform a simple seal test with out the camera inside.
• Avoid scratching the acrylic or glass ports and windows.
• Make sure that all ports remain properly attached before rinsing the housing, especially when rinsing without
a strobe make sure the Bulkhead connector is sealed with its plug.
• Never attempt to operate the camera in autofocus mode with the lens mounted focus gear engaged with
the housing gear.
• The main O-ring seals should be maiained and cleaned on a regular basis. Read and follow the Care and
maintenance instructions on this manual.
