BATTERY LIFE

The Ni Cad and alkaline batteries used with the flash are very efficient and usually last for more than one typical photo dive.

It is always wise to have backup batteries in case you do run out of power. The Ni Cad batteries can be recharged many times and offer an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to one-use disposable batteries. Check the users manual of the Olympus FL50 Speedlight for confirmation of compatibility with other batteries.

CLEANING & STORAGE

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The body and lid of the housing are made of polycarbonate. Polycarbonate was selected for its outstanding tensile strength, hardness, toughness and its crystal clear transparency/ high gloss surface. It has good resistance to weathering, although long-term exposure to sunlight should be avoided. The normal operating temperature range is from 3°C to 36°C [37-97°F]--Storage temperature: -10°C to 50°C) [14-122°F]

It is good practice to rinse off your housing with fresh water after every dive. Avoid exposure to fine sand. After a series of 10 or more dives, e.g. after a dive holiday, it is recommended to immerse the housing for 2- 3 hours in warm water to dissolve any salt deposits that may have built up. No chemical cleaners should be used. Mild detergents e.g. shampoo and soap based cleaners are permitted.

Important!

Polycarbonate may be harmed by some household chemicals--the housing should never be exposed to the following classes of chemicals:

benzene, toluene, xylene, chlorinated hydrocarbons, methanol, any other solvents, strong acids and bases

FOR LONG-TERM STORAGE PLEASE REMOVE THE MAIN BODY TO LID GASKET.
