 Use only the specified battery (3.7V) provided with the camera.

 Extremely cold environments can shorten the battery life and reduce camera

performance.

 When you are using a new rechargeable battery or a rechargeable battery

that has not been used for an extended period of time, it may affect

the number of images that can be captured. Therefore, to maximize its

performance and lifetime, we recommend that you fully charge the battery

and discharge it for at least one complete cycle before use.

 The battery may feel warm after a long period of continuous use of the

camera or the flash. This is normal and not a malfunction.

 The camera may feel warm after a long period of continuous use. This is

normal and not a malfunction.

may be impaired.

 Always keep the battery terminals clean.

 There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect

type.

 Dispose of used battery according to your local recycling laws.

Important Notes on Waterproof Function >>

Important Notes on Waterproof Function and Waterproof Housing

 Read and understand the instructions contained in this manual before

using underwater.

 The inner camera is not waterproof or shock protected. Seal the camera

inside the waterproof housing in areas of water, rain, snow, high humidity,

sand, dirt or combustible gas*.

* Warning - the camera inside the waterproof housing IS NOT certiﬁed

to be intrinsically safe. Using the camera in an environment containing

combustible gases may result in explosion or ﬁre.

 Follow these important O-ring care instructions or the waterproof housing

may leak.

* Do not lubricate o-ring.

* Inspect and clean O-ring and O-ring contact surfaces for sand, hair and

other debris before every use. Clean O-ring and O-ring contact surfaces

with cleaning brush provided.

* Inspect O-ring and O-ring contact surfaces for damage (cuts, scratches,

tears, cracks, dents and any other imperfections.) Replace O-ring or have

waterproof housing serviced if the O-ring or O-ring contact surfaces become

damaged.

* Do not use underwater housing if O-ring or O-ring contact surfaces are

damaged.

* Make sure O-ring is completely seated into O-ring groove before sealing

housing.

* Make sure the O-ring is not twisted when seated in the O-ring groove.

* Carefully follow O-ring removal and installation instructions contained on

page 64 of this manual.

* Replace O-ring every year to ensure proper seal. Only use approved

SeaLife O-ring designed for the DC1200 (Item # SL17017). Replacement

O-rings are available at your local authorized SeaLife dealer, or online at

www.sealifepartsdirect.com (USA Only).

 Carefully close lid and latch to seal housing and make sure there are no

obstructions that prevent housing from closing or sealing properly.

Notes on Waterproof Function >>

 Soak and rinse waterproof housing in fresh water for about 2 minutes after

underwater use or if the housing becomes dirty.

* Press each button several times to clean out any saltwater, sand or dirt

that may be trapped under the buttons.

* Use clean, soft cloth to dry housing.

* Store camera and housing only after careful cleaning and when totally

dry.

 Do not let any moisture or dirt get inside housing when opening. This may

result in damage to the inner camera.

 Make sure that you and the waterproof housing are completely dry before

opening the waterproof door or changing the batteries or the SD memory

card.

 Avoid opening housing in wet, sandy or humid environments. It is

recommended to open and load the housing in dry cool air, such as inside

an air conditioned room. This will prevent water or humidity from being

trapped inside the housing, which may cause fogging to occur or damage

the inner camera.

 Avoid getting sunscreen or suntan oil on the camera as it may cause

discoloration of the surface. If any oil gets on the camera, wash it off

immediately with warm water.

 The waterproof function does not apply to the camera’s accessories.

 Do not exceed the depth rating of 60m (200ft.) or the housing may become

damage and leak.

 The camera may sink if dropped in water, so be sure to attach the strap

to your wrist or buoyancy control device (BCD) when using the camera in

or near water.

 Store housing at room temperature in a clean and dry place.

 Do not expose housing to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.

 Do not store housing in extreme high temperatures, such as the trunk of

your car.
