III. MUST DO!
Very Important: Not following these points may void your warranty.
All Camera Models
A) Before opening the camera housing: Everything, including your hands, arms, and head
must be ABSOLUTELY DRY: Have a dry towel handy. Change film or batteries in an
air-conditioned or dry, cool room. Insert the 1.5 g. Moisture Muncher Capsule to
prevent fogging. (See page 12). One drop of water in the housing may cause the lens
to fog.
B) The O-ring must be completely seated in the groove, smooth and clean. DO
NOT REMOVE or GREASE O-RING!. O-ring is glued in place. Follow O-ring care
instructions on page 11.
C) After use and before opening immediately wash closed camera housing in fresh
water and dry well.It’s normal for some water to become trapped between the
ReefMaster armor and housing. This will not cause any damage and eventually dry.
In addition, periodically wash open housing without inner camera. After washing, dry
well. Clean lenses with cleaning pads lightly soaked in detergent and water, then
rinse and dry. Do not let drops dry on lenses.
D) Use the unbreakable airtight SeaLife Dry Case for dry storage with a large 1 oz.
Moisture Muncher Pack and for transportation on boats, airplanes, trucks etc. The
lifetime of batteries as well as the camera and other tools or electronics will be
greatly extended. (See page 17).
