Waterproof Case Precautions
Safety
• Do not use the waterproof case in place of a personal floatation device (life jacket).
• Do not use the waterproof case at water depths exceeding 10 meters. The case may malfunction, suffer
damage or leak.
• When cleaning the case, do not spray water at it under pressure. This may cause leaks.
• Do not disassemble or modify the waterproof case. This may cause leaks.
• Do not damage the waterproof seal, scratch its contact surfaces, or allows dirt to accumulate between
the waterproof seal and the case. This may cause leaks.
• Do not use the waterproof case in water at temperatures above 40ºC (104ºF). Heat may warp it or
cause leaks.
• Do not leave the waterproof case in direct sunlight, inside a car in hot weather, or near a heater. Heat
may warp the casing and cause leaks. Cover it with a towel, for example, if you have to leave it in the
sun.
Handling
• Do not drop or throw the waterproof case.
• Avoid opening or closing the waterproof case near water.
• Avoid using the waterproof case for long periods of time in hot temperatures.
• Moving the waterproof case rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water
droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces. Condensation may cause malfunctions. You
can avoid this by placing the waterproof case in airtight plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature
changes slowly before removing it from the bag. Stop using the camera immediately if you detect
condensation, wipe off the condensation from the waterproof case and the camera with a soft, dry cloth,
and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
• After you use the waterproof case, be sure to remove the AQUA-CAM from it. If you leave the
waterproof case with the AQUA-CAM still inside in direct sunlight or in a high-tempature place, this
may cause a fire or bursting.
• After use, be sure to dry all water from the waterproof case completely.
• Remove any salt, dirt, sand, or other particles from the waterproof case, and wash it with clean, running
tap water. Keep the waterproof case locked while washing it.
Storage
• To keep the waterproof seal in good condition during storage, do not fasten the catch after closing the
waterproof case.
• Protect the waterproof seal from dust or scratches during storage.
• Do not store the waterproof case in hot, cold or humid places, or near substances such as naphthalene
or insecticides.
