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, internal pressure built up can push port out of their
sealing surface.
• 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, modications or 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, glass ports and windows, handle theses as you would your camera lenses.
• Make sure that all ports remain properly attached before rinsing the housing, especially when rinsing without a strobe
make sure the wired bulkheads connectors are sealed with their supplied plug.
• Never attempt to operate the camera in autofocus mode with standard (NON AF-S type) lens which have a mounted
focus gear engaged with the housing focusing gear mechanism.
• The main O-ring seal should be maintained and cleaned on a regular basis. Read and follow the Care and Maintenance
section on this manual.
• Ensure that the spring loaded secondary lock is properly engaged on the latches to prevent their accidental opening.
