Product Care Cautions, Notes and Warnings
CAuTION: The measurement functions built into this unit are not meant to substitute
professional measurement or industrial precision devices. Values produced by this device
should be considered as reasonable representations only.
CAuTION: Your instrument is designed to be water resistant to a static pressure
of 33 feet / 10 meters / 1 Atmosphere / 1 Bar. This unit is suited only for accidental contact
with splashes of water.
NOTE: Units of meters and feet that indicate a pressure rating do NOT equal
the recommended depth for scuba diving.
NOTE: One atmosphere (ATM) or Bar of pressure, is equivalent to the pressure exerted
on a static object lying in a depth of 10 metres (1 ATM or Bar equals 10 meters).
DO NOT use your TERRAPOD in a soapy dish water or bubble bath. The alkali contained
in soaps can damage the rubber seals.
DO NOT use your TERRAPOD in a hot tub or extremely hot shower or bath.
High temperatures and steam can damage the rubber seals.
DO NOT expose the unit to sudden changes of temperature by going from a hot tub
to cold water. This can make the rubber seals contract and allow water to penetrate.
NEVER push the buttons underwater, when the unit is wet or when you are cleaning
or rinsing the unit. You are actually pushing water inside the unit.
