Note:
Make sure the water resistant USB cover is closed properly before using the camcorder underwater. If
a gap appears, reopen and close the USB cover as explained above.
3. Care and Maintenance

Before using the camcorder underwater make sure you know how the camcorder works.

Read through the camera User Manual to help you get to know your camcorder.

Insert the SD card and charge the battery away from water and with dry hands before going
underwater.

Make sure the water resistant USB cover is closed properly before going underwater with your
camcorder.

Do not open the USB cover while underwater.

Use the camcorder as you normally would to capture photos and videos.
4. Drying Out your Camcorder after Using Underwater

After capturing images underwater it is normal that some water will enter the body (but not USB
cover if closed properly) of the camcorder. This will not damage the camcorder or the images
captured.

Once out of the water, dry the camera with a dry towel. Any water in the camcorder will eventually
dry out by itself.

Turn and rest the camcorder on a dry and flat surface as shown in the diagram below. This will
allow the water to drain. This may take up to 3-4 hours to dry by itself.
