3.Visually check the condition of the gasket before every dive. If it is dirty, clean it with fresh water and dry it with a soft cloth as described above. If it is damaged in any way, such as cut or perforated, replace it immediately.
4.Do not use grease or any other type of lubricant on the gasket when closing the housing. It does not increase the ability of the gasket to make a proper seal.
5.Be careful not to get greasy fingerprints or dirt on the lens port. This will affect the image quality. Wipe any dirt or grease off with fresh water and a soft cloth.
6.Do not drop the housing on hard surfaces. It is not a shock absorber, and could crack, affecting its watertight integrity. It could also cause damage to the camera inside.
7.Travel with the housing protected in a padded case. It is best to remove the camera from inside the housing when traveling and provide it with its own protective case, or compartment.
8.Never dive with the Fantasea
9.It is recommended to have annual maintenance of all Fantasea housings. This includes visual inspection and possible changing of all seals / gaskets /
10.It is recommended that you select the shortest time option on the menu, for placing the camera into standby during periods of inactivity. This will conserve battery power and reduce the heat given off by the LCD screen, which can contribute to condensation inside the housing and fogging.
11.It is strongly recommended to take the first dive without the camera inside the housing. You should check that the water tight seal has not been affected during transport and long periods of storage.
