the housing from closing. Make sure lid is tightly pressed into housing.

Test camera and housing

1. Press the small power button on the top of the housing to turn camera

power on.

picture.

their normal position, soak the sealed housing in fresh water for a few
minutes and push the buttons several times.

leave camera power off until you’re ready to use camera to preserve battery
power.
