Of the Latches:

The three latches of the Amphibico Pro Digital are designed to have a locking action to prevent accidental opening. Always ensure that the

locking mechanism is secure. Watch for the build-up of corrosion or salt residue around the latches. This will appear as a white material.

Lubricate the latches with a small amount of WD-40 to remove the corrosion or salt residue build-up.

Of the O-Rings:

The O-rings that need to be maintained on a regular basis are the main housing O-ring and the O-ring on the lens port The main O-ring

should be cleaned on a daily basis and the port O-ring should be cleaned daily or each time the port is changed.

Of the sacrificial anode:

The anode attached to the bottom part of the housing is there to prevent corrosion due to electrolysis, as time

goes it will deteriorate and needs to be replacement, contact your dealer for replacement (parts # 19220).

TO SERVICE O-RINGS ON THE HOUSING MAIN O-RING, LENS PORTS.

1. Remove the O-ring. It is important never to use a sharp instrument when removing an O-ring as this may damage

the O-ring groove or the O-ring itself. A bobby pin or edge of a credit card works well.

2. Once the O-ring is removed, it should be examined for damage. Check to make sure that the O-ring is free of nicks and cuts and that it

retains its original round profile. O-rings that appear to be damaged should be discarded immediately and replaced with new O-rings.

3. Rinse the O-ring with fresh water and dry it with a clean lint free cloth.

4. Clean the O-ring groove (where the O-ring sits) with a Q-tip. Be sure to remove any lint the Q-tip may leave

behind. Inspect the groove for damage.

5. Wipe the part of the housing that the O-ring seals against with a clean lint-free cloth.

6. Re-grease the O-ring with a thin layer of O-ring grease until it appears to be smooth and shiny. Do not over grease it. Use just enough

grease so the O-ring will pull smoothly through your fingers. Excessive amounts of

grease will only serve to attract dirt to the o-ring.

7. Make sure that the O-ring is properly (evenly) installed in the O-ring groove.

8. To reinstall the clean and lubricated O-ring, place the entire O-ring over the groove and start by pushing the O-ring in at each corner

then, push the O-ring at each side and finally, work in the rest of the O-ring. Never start at one

end and work your way around the O-ring. This places uneven tension on the O-ring which may cause the O-ring to stretch resulting in

excess O-ring, which will have no place to go.

There are internal O-rings on the housing controls as well. These O-rings are not as susceptible to damage as they are not exposed but

they do require yearly maintenance and are not user serviceable. The housing should be returned to Amphibico or to an authorized Am-

phibico service facility for this annual maintenance. Check for the closest service cen-ter on our website www.amphibico.com

An internal moisture alarm is installed in your Amphibico HD Wave housing (Product # 20023). This moisture alarm is powered by an eas-

ily replaced CR 2032 battery. Please read the instruction sheet provided for your moisture alarm prior to installing the battery.
