1. Before Use
2 Tap the camera lightly against your palm while holding it upside down and then 
with the illustrated side facing down, and then wipe off the water droplets with a 
soft, dry cloth.
• Repeat this step a few times if water is left in the microphone A or speaker B hole.
If water is left in the microphone or speaker hole, weak or distorted audio may be recorded 
and played back.
• Fasten the strap firmly to your wrist to avoid dropping the camera.
3 Dry the camera by standing it on a dry 
cloth in a well ventilated shaded area.
• This unit incorporates drain design, draining 
water in gaps in the camera [ON/OFF] button 
and zoom button etc.
• Do not dry the camera with hot air from dryer or 
similar. Waterproof performance will deteriorate 
due to deformation.
4 Confirm that there are no water droplets, open the side door, and wipe off any 
water droplets or sand left inside using a soft, dry cloth.
• Water droplets may adhere to the card or battery when the side door is opened without 
thoroughly drying. Also, water may accumulate in the gap around the card/battery slot or 
the terminal connector. Be sure to wipe any water off with a soft, dry cloth.
• The water droplets may seep into the camera when the side door is closed while it is still 
wet, causing condensation or failure.
• When particles such as salt residues from seawater are 
adhering to the camera, the arm of the side door and various 
other components may whiten. Use damp cotton swabs or 
similar to wipe until the whitened part is removed.
