5. Use & Care of Housing
Maintaining the O-rings
The O-ring is the main seal in keeping sea water out of the housing. It is an effective barrier only if the
O-ring is properly maintained. The O-ring should be inspected before every dive. The following
information is provided for your guidance in using and maintaining the O-ring.
There are two O-rings, one on the lid and one on the housing, which require regular maintenance.
•
Remove the O-rings periodically for inspection.
•
It is not necessary to remove, clean and re-install the O-rings after every dive provided the O-ring is not
•
contaminated.
•
If the housing is to be opened between dives for changing memory card or re-charging battery, make sure
the outside of the housing is thoroughly towel dried before opening.
•
After servicing the camera, replace the lid right away.
•
Before replacing the lid, check the o-ring and make sure that no contaminants such as dust, hair, salt, sand
etc., has fallen onto the O-ring or O-ring recess.
•
The O-rings should be inspected every time the lid is opened and maintenance carried out only if
necessary.
