IX. Maintaining a waterproof seal (Before your dive)
1) The flash uses two O-rings to maintain a waterproof seal.
2) Every time you open the battery cap make sure the O-rings and
sealing surfaces are clean, undamaged and lubricated.
3) Dampen a clean cotton cloth and wipe it around the o-ring
and o-ring contact surfaces to remove any hair, sand or debris.
4) Carefully inspect the o-ring for cuts, tears or other damage.
Replace o-rings if damaged.
5) Lube O-rings regularly. Apply a small amount of silicone lube on
your finger tip and wipe it around the O-rings. Wipe off excess
lubricant. The o-ring surface should have shiny, wet appearance.
Important:
Replace O-rings every year if damaged or not. Visit your local SeaLife dealer
or www
.sealife-cameras.com for information on ordering spare o-rings.
