The Preliminary Leak Test
Before placing the camera in the waterproof case, latch the waterproof case and
immerse it in water to check for leaks as described below.
Latch the waterproof case and then slowly immerse it in water, stopping if air is
expelled from inside the waterproof case.
Immerse the waterproof case and operate the buttons under water for 2 to 3
minutes, checking whether bubbles escape.
Take the waterproof case out of the water and dry it thoroughly with a soft, dry
cloth, then open the waterproof case and check for water inside.
Shock and Vibration
The waterproof case is not designed to protect the camera from blows or vibration.
Do not drop the waterproof case, strike it against hard objects, throw it into water, or
jump into water holding the waterproof case.
Maximum Depth
The waterproof case is waterproof up to 40 m (131 ft). At greater depths, the
waterproof case could leak, break, or change shape, resulting in damage to the
camera.
Temperature
Do not leave the waterproof case in areas exposed to high temperature, or near fire.
Failure to observe this precaution could weaken or warp the waterproof case. Sudden
changes in temperature could result in condensation inside the waterproof case,
which could also damage the camera. To prevent condensation:
When you have moved from one location to another that is noticeably warmer or
colder, leave the camera in the waterproof case until it has reached the same
temperature as its surroundings.
Do not expose the waterproof case to high temperatures by leaving it on the
beach or in direct sunlight before entering the water.
Chemicals
Do not apply stickers to the waterproof case, as the adhesive could cause the case
to deteriorate.
Do not expose the waterproof case to the following chemicals or their vapors.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the waterproof case.
- Do not use chemical detergents, rust inhibitors, thinner, alcohol, or other volatile
chemicals when cleaning the waterproof case. Wash in fresh water only.
