Pre-Dive Checklist

1.Make sure you have a Mini DV tape in the camcorder.

2.Make sure you have a completely charged battery in the camera.

3.Verify operation of all housing controls.

4.Check that the lens lock is securely engaged and that the latch pin is in the locked position. Clean lens if necessary.

5.Check that the rear plate O-rings are seated correctly and that the rear latches are in the closed and locked position.

First Time Use

All Light & Motion equipment is pressure tested prior to shipping. However, there could be unseen damage due to shipping. A test dive without the camcorder in the housing is highly recommended. After the initial dive with just the housing, make the following checks:

1.Dry off housing exterior.

2.Remove the Rear Plate and visually inspect for moisture.

3.Reach inside the housing and trace a finger around all view ports and mating surfaces.

4.If any water is detected, contact the housing reseller or the Light & Motion service department.

After Diving Care

1.Immediately submerge the housing in fresh water. While in fresh water, work all the switches and press all the buttons to work any remaining salt water out of recessed areas.

2.Remove housing from the rinse tank and towel dry.
