SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Improper transportation handling or use of this housing might cause a flooding or malfunction.

mounted inside the housing as impact forces especially on the external push buttons will be transferred to
the camera.

contact with an O-ring
Use of accessories or modifications and alterations unauthorized by the manufacturer may result in flooding
or poor functioning of the controls

Avoid scratching the acrylic or glass ports and windows.
Make sure that all ports remain properly attached before rinsing the housing. Especially when rinsing
