H2O Audio S5 Connecting the Headphones, Available Accessories, Contact Us, General Use Notice

8. Connecting the Headphones

The SealTightTM Connector is what keeps your audio connection safe and dry underwater. It is designed specifically to create a seal around the H2O Audio Series Waterproof Headphones (sold separately). Using any other headphones will not have a complete waterproof connection, and reduces the waterproof rating to water-resistant.

1.To create a waterproof connection, align the 3.5mm stereo plug on the headphones with the stereo jack of the housing.

2.Insert the headphones into the stereo jack of the housing, ensuring that the plug mates securely into the SealTightTM Connector.

CAUTION: The SV Series Headphones do not fit with the SealTightTM Connector boot featured on the H2O Audio Series housings. If your headphones have a connector that looks like the one shown below, you can not use them with this housing.
