Before you use the Waterproof Case, thoroughly
read these precautions to ensure correct use.
The precautions described below are for ensuring
safe use of the Waterproof Case and for
preventing danger and damage to yourself and
others. Thoroughly understand the details of these
precautions before reading the rest of this manual.
• After you use the Waterproof Case, be sure to
remove the camera from it. If you leave the
Waterproof Case containing the camera in
direct sunlight or in a high-temperature place,
this may cause a fire or the case to burst.
• Do not use the Waterproof Case in place of a
personal flotation device (life jacket).
• Do not use the neck strap underwater.
Remove the neck strap and attach the wrist
strap before use underwater. There is danger
that the neck strap will become entangled and
cause strangulation or another mishap.

the waterproof seal under pressure. This may
cause leaks.

Case. This may cause leaks.
• Do not damage the waterproof seal, scratch its
contact surfaces, or allow dirt, sand, hair or
other debris to accumulate between the
waterproof seal and the case. This may cause
leaks.

temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F). Heat may
warp the casing and cause leaks.

sunlight, inside a car in hot weather, or near a

have to leave it in the sun.
