Quick waterproof test
Wrap a small soft weight in a blue paper towel, place inside housing and close
the lid to seal the housing. The blue paper towel makes it easier to see a leak.
Make sure not to pinch the paper towel in the O-ring. Place the sealed housing
in a tub of cold water for about one hour. No leaks should be present. If the
housing shows signs of leaking, do not use the housing and contact your local
authorized SeaLife Dealer of the SeaLife Service Center for repairs.

4. Replace O-ring every year to ensure proper seal. Only use approved
SeaLife O-ring (item #SL15017) designed for the DC600. Replacement
O-rings are available at your local authorized SeaLife dealer.
5. After each use underwater:
a. Soak sealed housing in fresh water for about 15 minutes. Most dive
boats offer special fresh water buckets specifically for underwater
photo equipment. DO NOT put camera housing in fresh water
designed for other dive equipment, like dive mask, because that water
may contain detergents which are harmful to the housing.
b. Push all the control buttons several times while waterproof housing is
soaking to clean out any salt water, sand or dirt that has accumulated
during usage.
c. Use clean, soft cloth to dry housing. Store camera and housing only
after careful cleaning and when totally dry.
