4)To check O-rings for damage,place the O-ring between the index finger and thumb. Then pull the O-ring through your fingers, feeling for any debris or wear.

5)If O-rings are dirty, it is best to replace them.Washing dirty O-rings with soap and water is not recommended. Soap breaks down the lubricants and will compromise the integrity of the seal.

6)Properly greased O-rings will help maintain sealing integrity and minimize O-ring degradation. Use enough grease to lubricate the O-ring thoroughly,but not so much that it will attract additional debris.

7)Clean the groove with a lint free swab or the folded edge of a paper towel.

8)All of the front optic ports for the housing also utilize two O-ring seals.Also check these seals every time the optic is removed.

Other Maintenance

•CLEAN THE CONNECTORS!!! - Pay special attention to the condition of the connectors at the end of the cables. Equally important is the female receptacle in the battery pod. These metal connectors should “shine like a new penny.”

•Apply a light film of O-ring grease to cables and connectors to prevent pre-mature degradation.

•We highly recommend a factory annual service to maintain proper operation of your underwater video equipment.
