Important Notices

»Never leave a housing in a rinse tank, even if it is the only

system in the tank. The vast majority of catastrophic oods

happen when the user walks away from a housing while it is in

the rinse tank.

»To prevent salt build-up and sticking controls, submerge the

empty housing in clean, freshwater. Operate the controls

several times each while underwater to ush out any residue.

»Do not use alcohol, cleaning agents, spray lubricants, Rain-X,

or other solvents on the housing or lens port. Use of an

incompatible chemical compound can damage the plastic and

o-rings, and may result in leaking.

back of the housing.

4. Place each lid snap into the corresponding hook on the housing
