Light & Motion HC3 - Manual (Page 2)

Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of the Bluefin underwater video housing.
Please inspect the packaging of your product to verify that there was no damage
during shipping.
If you are not familiar with your camcorder’s features, please take time to become
familiar with the camcorder before you proceed in this manual.This manual assumes
you have a working knowledge of your camcorder and will only cover operational
procedures relative to the underwater housing.
The term “Push” when referenced in this manual means to press and release in one
motion. If a function requires a button to be continually held, the manual will read,
“press and hold.”
Periodically refer to the Light & Motion website for instruction revisions,

We hope you have a wonderful underwater experience with Light & Motion
equipment. To increase your enjoyment and the life span of your equipment please
take an extra minute to review common errors which will result in equipment
damage or destruction.
• Always remove batteries from battery pods before storage or travel.
Failure to do so may result in inadvertent ignition of lighting system and
possible heat or fire damage.
• Check the operation of all your equipment several weeks prior to your trip. If
maintenance or repair is necessary, then time is available for both shipping and
repair scheduling.
• Never transport or ship the housing with the camcorder inside.
This may damage your camcorder.
• Never leave your housing in the rinse bucket. It may be damaged by other
equipment.
• When removing the camcorder from the housing after a dive, do so in a dry
controlled environment away from other Scuba related equipment. This prevents
water from other equipment or water from another diver accidentally entering the
housing.
• If a battery pod is flooded, immediately remove the battery. POD: rinse with fresh
water (good) or rubbing alcohol (better). Shake vigorously, towel dry, and leave the
pod where is can drain excess moisture. BATTERY: Dry the battery off, blow any
water out of the connectors, and then shake the battery to remove remaining
moisture. If there is water inside the battery do not attempt to use it
again. If the battery seems dry inside, allow it to dry for at least 24 hours, away
from flammable items. Then, on land, charge the battery and test your lights before
attempting another dive.
