Usage precautions
1.
Never use any of the following chemicals for cleaning, rust-proofing, fog prevention, repair, or other purposes.
1) Do not clean the marine case with alcohol, gasoline, paint thinner, or other volatile organic solvents, chemical
cleaners or similar agents. (Pure water or lukewarm water is adequate for cleaning.)
2) Do not use rust-proofing agents or the like on metal parts. (Stainless steel and aluminum are used for all metal
parts, so pure water is adequate for cleaning.)
3) Do not use commercially-available anti-fogging agents. (Always use the fogging agent that came with the marine
case.)
4) Do not use any silicon grease other than that specified for the O-ring. (Always use the silicon grease that came
with the marine case.)
5) Do not use any adhesives for repairs, etc. (If any repairs are necessary, please consult the store of purchase.)
Direct or indirect use (vaporized chemicals) of any of the above chemicals on the marine case can cause cracks
when the marine case is placed under high pressure.
2.
Exercise caution, as this marine case is a completely airtight structure. If it is left exposed to direct sunlight, or in a
car, ship, or on the beach, the internal temperature can climb extremely high, which may cause the camcorder inside
to stop working properly.
3.
Do not open or close the case in areas where it may be subjected to water spray or sand.
4.
If you must open the marine case at the diving site in order to replace the battery or tape, observe the precautions below.
1) Select a location safe from water spray and sand.
2) Use the included blower or similar device to completely blow off water between the main unit and the lid section
of the marine case, and to blow off water adhering to the two buckles that fasten them. Dry off any water remain-
ing on the marine case with a dry cloth.
3) When removing the two buckles and opening the lid section, be careful that no water drips from your hair or body
into the marine case.
4) In order to avoid touching the camcorder with hands that have salt water on them, place a towel dampened with
pure water in a plastic bag beforehand and use it to wipe any salt off your hands and fingers before touching the
camcorder.
5.
After use, wash off adequately with pure water as soon as possible. If the marine case has been used in salt water,
soaking the marine case in pure water for a while is effective for removing the salt.
6.
After washing, wipe off any water with a dry cloth free of salt to completely dry off the marine case. However, do not
expose the marine case to direct sunlight in order to dry it. This can cause discoloration and breakage of the marine
case, and can speed up deterioration of the O-ring.
7.
Wipe the inside of the marine case with just a dry cloth. Maintain the transparency of the front glass inside by wiping
it with a silicon cloth or the like before and after use.
8.
Remove the O-ring from the lid section and wipe off any salt, sand, and other foreign matter. In the same manner, wipe
off any adhering foreign matter from the groove into which the O-ring was fit and from the main unit of the marine case
where the O-ring contacted it. When removing the O-ring from the groove, avoid using sharp-tipped metal objects;
instead use a round-tipped object, such as a hair pin, to avoid damaging the O-ring when you remove it.
9.
When the marine case will be left unused for a prolonged time, to avoid O-ring deformation remove the O-ring from
the marine case groove, apply a thin film of silicon grease, and store it in a clean plastic bag. When setting the O-ring
in place to use the marine case again, carefully check the O-ring for scratches and cracks.
10.
Since the marine case is made of acrylic plastic, handle it carefully. In particular, it can be easily scratched by rocks, etc.
at the shooting site and may be damaged if it is dropped or otherwise subject to shock. When going to the shooting site
by car, ship, train, or plane, avoid transporting the camcorder in the marine case. If you take adequate handling precau-
tions, however, there should be no problem in transporting the camcorder in the marine case for a short distance, for
example from the target site to the diving site.
11.
In extremely bright areas, the indications or image in the viewfinder may become difficult to see. If this happens, try
shielding the viewfinder with your hand.
12.
Avoid removing any parts other than those indicated in the user's manual, altering the marine case, or using any parts
other than those specified. If any problems occur, please consult the store of purchase.
