4. Set up Instructions

4.1 Special note on responsibility for watertight integrity

Each housing is individually inspected and hydrostatically tested in the factory. The design of the

main piston O-ring seal is among the most reliable in the industry and the watertight integrity is

excellent. This special O-ring design provides a perfect seal even if there is any movement

between the body and lid due to change of ambient pressure. However please note that

responsibility for ensuring the integrity of the watertight seal lies entirely with the user. 10BAR

accepts no liability for damage to, or loss of any equipment used with, or placed inside the

housing. Users are highly recommended to carry out in-water test of the housings without

installing of the camera for their first dive, after change of new ports or alternation of any new

configuration. The test can be carried out by lowering the housing with ballast to the working

depth or dive down to the safe diving range.

The O-ring seal is the main barrier between the water outside and the air space within
