12. General Storage Procedures

For long-term storage, store in a plastic bag out of direct sunlight.

CAUTION:

Do not expose the housing to extreme heat, such as the inside

of a hot car, or in hot direct sunlight, such as on a beach, or boat deck.
Doing so may cause damage and subsequent flooding.

CAUTION:

The housing is susceptible to internal condensation with extreme

temperature fluctuations. Use above 105°F(40C) can result in internal
condensation. When used in temperatures below freezing, frost will
appear on the interior of the housing.

CAUTION:

Do not store housing in the following environments:

* Solvents or other chemical fumes
* High humidity
* High Ozone
* Extreme temperature fluctuations

Storing the housing in these conditions may lead to a damaged housing,
causing it to leak.

Rinse the EXTERIOR of the system in fresh water after EACH use:

1. Make sure the housing is securely closed with headphones attached.
2. Soak in clean fresh water for 30 minutes.
3. Rinse the entire system with freshwater
4. Completely dry the entire exterior of the system using a clean soft
cloth.

My Lanyard broke, what can i do?

While the Lanyard is not essential, it is very helpful. The Lanyard can
be replaced with any strong string, shoe lace or if you would like a
replacement Lanyard please to contact our Customer Support.

1.

Why is the H2O Audio for iPod shuffle 2

nd

Gen so hard to open?

While we want you to have access to your shuffle player, we do not
want water to have that same access. In our world, the more difficult is
to get into the case, the more reassured we are about its’ integrity.

3.

Do water droplets on the side of the Tray indicate a leak?

No, this is a typical result when separating the Tray from the housing.
If you are concerned you can perform a Leak Test from Section 4.

8. Connecting the Headphones

The SealTight

TM

Connector (which is only featured on the H2O Audio

Waterproof Housing) is what keeps your audio connection safe and dry
underwater. It is designed specifically to create a seal around the H2O
Audio Series Waterproof Headphones (sold separately). Using any other
headphones will reduce the waterproof rating to water-resistant as the
headphone connection will not be completely waterproof.

Clip the waterproof housing to the Sport Armband (included). It is
extreamly important that the Lanyard is used to secure the waterproof
housing to the Sport Armband. Running the armband strap though the
Lanyard will secure the housing to the armband.

1.

To create a waterproof connection, align the 3.5mm stereo plug on the
headphones with the stereo jack of the housing.

2.

Insert the headphones into the stereo jack of the housing rotating the
plug a quarter turn as you insert it into the jack, this will release any
air bubbles or pressure from the connection. Ensuring that the plug
mates securely into the SealTight

TM

Connector.

CAUTION: The SV Series Headphones do not fit
with the SealTight

TM

Connector boot Which is

featured only on the H2O Audio Series
housings. If your headphones have a connector
that looks like the one shown left, you can not
use them with this housing.
