Initial Setup
Before using your AxisGO for the first time you must conduct a water test as explained below. You can perform the
water test in any body of water that allows submersion down to depths of 1-3ft. Make sure the O-Rings are clean and
dry before testing. If the O-Rings or the AxisGO show any signs of damage do not use. Replacement O-Ring kits can
be ordered through the website.
Attach the included AxisGO Wrist Lanyard by tying the tether to the leash attachment point. Only attach the leash to the
side hinge locations as shown in fig 1. It may be easiest to install the leash with the handle open. Check that the main
O-Ring is located in its correct position, as seen in fig 2. and is in good condition
Close the backplate and lock the side latch by wrapping it around to the front locking mechanism, and squeeze the latch
down. An audible ‘click’ should be heard to indicate the latch is locked, and the latch release button should protrude
to its original position. Pull back firmly on the side handle latch to ensure it has locked correctly.
Conduct a visual inspection of the AxisGO to be sure a good seal has been created by checking that the entire backplate
has engaged well with the front section, and there is no debris or other material interfering with the sealing O-Ring. A
small gap between the backplate and frame is normal. Always use a wrist lanyard or leash when using the AxisGO in
any body of water as it is negatively buoyant, therefore if it is dropped, it will sink.
Once the AxisGO Wrist Lanyard is attached to your wrist you can immerse your AxisGO into the water.
Hold the AxisGO and immerse it into the water for a period of 20 seconds.
Remove the AxisGO from the water, dry with a towel and check that no water has penetrated inside. Point the AxisGO
up and check around the back-plate edges, then point it down and check the edges of the front port for any water that
may have penetrated. Water can enter the AxisGO when opening the backplate, so do not confuse this with a leak.
If this is all clear and there has been no ingress, repeat Step 1 and hold the AxisGO under the water for 30 seconds.
Repeat step 2, and if no water has entered you are ready to install your iPhone and begin shooting. If any water enters
the AxisGO during the test, dry it out completely and then repeat the instructions on installing your port and water
testing. If a leak persists, email support at contact@aquatech.net
Installing your iPhone
Make sure the inside of your AxisGO is completely dry and clean. Clean the iPhone screen of any fingerprints or debris.
Insert the iPhone into the rubber bumpers inside the AxisGO.
The home screen should face upwards so you can see your screen through the transparent membrane.
Before closing the backplate, make sure the main O-Ring is free from any sand or other debris. Close the backplate and lock
the side handle latch. Take care that your leash does not interfere with the hinge or O-Ring when closing the backplate. Now
your AxisGO is ready for the water, snow, dirt or anywhere else you can take it!
