Please read and follow the following precautions:

• Store and transport the housing in a sturdy, shock proof container and avoid travelling with the camera mounted inside the housing 

as impact forces especially on the external push buttons will be transferred to the camera. 

• When travelling by air, either remove the port or open the housing.

• Never change a port or open the housing in a location where sand or similar foreign material might come in contact with an O-ring.

fingers away from the path of the latches.
