Main O-ring and keeping a waterproof seal
The SeaLife housing uses one O-ring to form a waterproof seal. Every housing
is tested for quality and a waterproof seal. It is your responsibility to maintain the
housing and ensure it remains waterproof. Our research and testing shows that
99% of leaks are the result of not cleaning or caring for the O-ring.
Warranty does not cover a water-damaged camera unless it is clearly
determined that a manufacturing defect caused the leak.
• The O-ring must always be kept clean and checked for damage before
every use.
• Carefully clean the housing surface that makes contact with the O-ring and
inspect for scrapes and cuts. If the housing sealing area is damaged, contact
the SeaLife Service Center.
• Never use the housing without the O-ring in place.
• If O-ring need replacement contact the SeaLife Service C enter.
• Do not remove or lubricate the O-ring.
• The O-ring located in the housing lid groove is not glued in place. O-ring
should not be removed unless sand, hair or other objects become trapped
under
O-ring. If O-ring must be removed use the other end of the cleaning
brush to lift up O-ring and remove. C arefully inspect O-ring for cuts and
damage. If this O-ring is removed, make sure it is carefully replaced. Do
not twist or stretch O-ring. O-ring must be pushed into it’s groove. B e
careful not to pinch O-ring when closing housing.
• Each but ton assembly has an O-ring to keep a waterproof seal. It is normal
to feel some resistance when pressing these buttons. If the button does not
return to it’s original position or if the button does not have a smooth action,
contact the SeaLife Service Center. Do not attempt to disassemble or service
the buttons.
Quick waterproof test
Wrap a small dive weight in a blue paper towel, place inside housing and close
the lid to seal the housing. The blue paper towel makes it easier to see a leak.
Make sure not to pinch the paper towel in the O-ring. Place the sealed housing
in a tub of cold water for about one hour. No leaks should be present . If the
housing shows sign of leaking, do not use the housing and contact the SeaLife
Service Center f or repairs.
