O-RING
• The O-ring on the waterproof housing door must be properly maintained by inspecting and removing
any dirt, dust, sand, hair, debris, etc. before and after use.
• Use a soft lint free cloth moistened with water to clean the O-ring. DO NOT use any solvents such as
alcohol, acetone, etc. to clean the O-ring. This will cause damage and is not covered under warranty.
• Do not remove the O-ring from the door unless it becomes necessary to clean under the O-ring such
as when the housing is accidentally dropped on the ground with the door open and dirt becomes
trapped between the O-ring and the door groove. Repeatedly removing the O-ring can cause it to
become stretched out. This can lead to the O-ring becoming crimped or pinched when the door is
closed and result in ooding and damage to the camera and is not covered under warranty.
• Apply minimal amount of silicone grease to the O-ring only when necessary. Too much silicone grease
applied at one time or a build up of excess silicone grease can lead to leakage and is not covered under
warranty.
• Use only 100% silicone grease made for O-rings. Use only one drop of grease on an applicator swab and
apply it to the surface of the O-ring. The purpose of silicone grease is to lubricate and moisturize the O-ring
to keep it from drying out and cracking and does not function to keep water out of the camera. It is the
O-ring itself that provides the waterproof seal.
• If it becomes necessary to replace the O-ring, please use a proper O-ring tool to remove and replace the
O-ring. Extra O-rings can be ordered by calling 1-888-297-6062 (USA only) or +1-425-285-1111.
