MUST DO for underwater housing:

1.Read and understand the instructions contained in this manual before using underwater.

2.Do not exceed the depth rating of 60m (200ft.) or the housing may leak.

3.Follow these important O-ring care instructions or the waterproof housing may leak.

4.Do not lubricate o-ring.

Inspect and clean O-ring and O-ring contact surfaces for sand, hair and other debris before every use. Clean O-ring and O-ring contact surfaces with cleaning brush provided.

Inspect O-ring and O-ring contact surfaces for damage (cuts, scratches, tears, cracks, dents and any other imperfections.) Replace O-ring or have waterproof housing serviced if the O-ring or O-ring contact surfaces become damaged. Do not use underwater housing if O-ring or O-ring contact surfaces are damaged. Replacement O-rings are available at your local authorized SeaLife dealer.

Make sure O-ring is completely seated into O-ring groove before sealing housing. O-ring must not be twisted when seated in the O-ring groove. Carefully follow O-ring removal and installation instructions contained in this manual.

Replace O-ring every year to ensure proper seal. Only use approved SeaLife O-ring designed for the DC800.

Soak and rinse waterproof housing in fresh water after each use. Use clean, soft cloth to dry housing. Store camera and housing only after careful cleaning and when totally dry.

5.Carefully close lid and latch to seal housing.

Make sure O-ring is seated in its groove when sealing the housing.

Make sure there are no obstructions that prevent housing from sealing properly.

6.Never let any moisture or dirt get inside housing when opening.

Avoid opening housing wet or humid environments. Best is to open and load the housing in dry cool air, such as inside an air conditioned room. This will prevent water or humidity from veing trapped inside the housing, which may cause fogging to occur or damage the inner camera.
