active watersports. It houses the Apple iPod digital media player.

HOUSING: The housing features the LachTight Locking System which keeps
the unit waterproof during operation. The H2O Audio housing allows for
functional control of the player while in the water with the Commander

Scroll Wheel.

NOTE: The iPod is NOT waterproof without the H2O Audio housing and
headphones and is NOT covered under the product warranty. Any attempt
to use the housing with an audio player other than the Apple iPod will void
the Warranty.

HEADPHONES: The housing is only waterproof when combined with H2O
Audio waterproof headphones (sold separately). Use of other headphones
with a 3.5mm stereo connector will result in a water resistant case, and should
not be submerged.
