Handling

Do not leave this unit for a long time in a hot place (exposed to direct sunlight, inside a car under the hot sun, near a heater, etc.). (The waterproof performance will deteriorate.)

Underwater use

Use the unit at depths no deeper than 1.5 m (5 feet) in water of 0 °C to 40°C

(32 of to 104 OF). Do not use it underwater for 30 continuous minutes or longer. After use underwater, wipe off adhering water and dry in a well-ventilated location before using the unit underwater again.

Do not open the card/battery door or the terminal cover underwater.

Do not impact the unit against anything underwater. (Impacts may lead to water infiltration. )

Do not dive or jump into water with the unit in your hands. Also, do not use the unit in swift currents, waterfalls or other places where exposed to high water pressure. (Doing so may SUbject the unit to high water pressure levels which may lead to damage.)

Securely attach the strap when submerging in water so as not to lose hold of the unit.

Care after underwater use

After use in water or near the sea, swish in fresh water (in a shallow container) with the LCD monitor open and closed to rinse off salt water, sand and other matter, then let soak for 30 minutes or less. After that, Wipe off water with a dry cloth. (Washing the unit in soap or neutral detergents or leaving the unit with salt water adhering to it can cause corrosion, discoloring and degrade water- resistant performance.)

After rinsing, set the unit with the drain port facing downward in a well-ventilated shady place to dry.

Drying with the hot air of a hairdryer or other device can cause deformation and degrade water-resistant performance.

Water may run from the drain port if the unit is not dry on the inside.
