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
it 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.
