Maintenance and Storage

CAUTION

Never use chemicals, cosmetics, any petroleum solvents such as paint thinner, or neutral detergent on the product. They may deform and damage the product.

After each use in salt water, make sure it is watertight, then soak it sufficiently in fresh water and rinse with running water.

Operate all the buttons, dials or levers underwater, but do not operate the buckle / buckle lock buttons.

Insufficient soaking causes damage by salt to the product. Salty residue may be left on the product where it will crystallize as it evaporates. Crystallized salt is hard to dissolve and difficult to be removed once formed, and it will result in water leakage.

After rinsing, dry the product well with a soft dry cloth, then let the product dry in the shade, out of direct sunlight.

Do not dry the product by heating (using a hair dryer, for example). Heating can deform and damage the product.

If you will not use the product for an extended period of time, store it away from high temperatures, high humidity, direct sunlight, or exterme cold.

Do not store the product with naphthalene or camphor mothballs, or in locations such as a laboratory where chemicals are used. This environment can cause mold, rust, corrosion or malfunction.

Always remove the camera from the housing after use. Thoroughly wipe off water before opening the housing and avoid any water drops inside the housing.

After using the product, maintain the O-rings before storing. Examine the O-rings before and after each dive. We recommend early exchange of the O-rings, at least once a year.

Every two years we recommend a complete overhaul of O-rings regardless of the frequency in use, for the best performance of the product.
