Safety Precautions

WATER INSIDE THE CASE COULD NOT ONLY EXPOSE THE CAMERA TO IRREPARABLE DAMAGE BUT ALSO RESULT IN FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR EXPOSURE TO POISONOUS GASES. THE ENTRY OF WATER INTO THE CASE CAN BE PREVENTED BY OBSERVING THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS.
• Before sealing the case, examine the O-ring, watertight channel, and any parts of the case that are in contact with the O-ring carefully to ensure that they are free of dirt, hair, lint, dust, sand, and other foreign objects. Make sure that the O-ring is not twisted or out of position.
• The O-ring requires periodic replacement. Replace the O-ring immediately if it is damaged, cracked, warped, or has lost elasticity. O-rings should be replaced at least once a year; do not use a worn O-ring or a type of O-ring or O-ring grease not designated.
Be careful not to damage the O-ring when removing it from the case. Do not use metal objects or objects with sharp points when removing the O-ring.
Do not use force when removing or positioning the O-ring. Excessive force may permanently stretch the ring, causing the case to leak.
Do not open the waterproof case in areas exposed to spray, high winds, dust, or sand.
Do not drop the case, place under heavy objects, or subject to excessive force. Failure to observe this precaution could cause the case to warp, resulting in leakage.
In the event of leakage, stop use immediately, dry the camera and the interior of the case.

Shock and Vibration

The waterproof case is not designed to protect the camera from blows or vibration. Do not drop the case, strike it against hard objects, throw it into the water, jump into the water holding the case, or leave the case in an area subject to extreme vibration. Failure to observe these precautions could result in damage to the camera.

Maximum Depth

The VUSE-XR-UWC is waterproof to 30m (100´). At greater depths, the case could leak, break, or change shape, resulting in damage to the camera.

Temperature

Do not leave the case in areas exposed to high temperatures, such as inside a car, near a heater, on a beach, or in direct sunlight. Failure to observe this precaution could weaken or warp the case, resulting in damage to the camera. Sudden changes in temperature could result in condensation inside the case, which could also damage the camera. To prevent condensation:
Before exposing the case to sudden changes in temperature, place it in a sealed plastic bag. Do not open the bag until the case has reached the same temperature as its surroundings.
Place the supplied desiccant in the case with the camera as directed on page 4 of this manual.
Do not expose the case to high temperatures by leaving it on the beach or in direct sunlight before entering the water.

Travelling by Air

If possible, include the case in your carry-on baggage when travelling by air. Leave the case open and don’t lock the buckles. If the case is sealed, changes in air pressure may damage the case or prevent the case from opening.

High Altitudes

When travelling from high to low altitudes, open the case periodically to equalize the pressure. If the case is kept sealed, changes in air pressure may damage the case or prevent the case from opening.
