CARE AND CLEANING
Protect your XP 5 from shock, excessive temperatures,
chemical attack, and tampering. Protect the lens against
scratches with a transparent Instrument Lens Protector.
Small scratches will naturally disappear underwater.
CAUTION: Never spray aerosols of any kind on,
or near, the instrument. The propellants may
chemically attack the plastic.
• Soak and rinse the XP 5 in fresh water at the end of
each day of diving, and check to ensure that the areas
around the low pressure (depth) sensor (Fig. 83), down-
load interface port, and buttons are free of debris or
obstructions.
• To dissolve salt crystals, use lukewarm water or a
slightly acidic white vinegar/water bath.
• After removal from the bath, place the unit under gently
running water and towel dry before storing.
• Transport your unit cool, dry, and protected.
WARNING: Never force any object through any
slots or holes of the Housing. Doing so may
damage the depth sensor, possibly resulting
in erroneous depth and/or dive time remaining
displays.
