• You can use the monitor for approximately 6 hours with four new AA alkaline dry batteries.
O-ring maintenance is very important. If O-ring maintenance is not
followed according to instructions, a water leak may occur and
cause the marine pack to sink. Waterproofing is achieved by

  • Page 21: Underwater Recording

    Underwater recording Before diving Check for water leakage. Check that the equipment operates correctly and that there is no water leakage at a depth of about one meter (3 feet) before you dive deeper. Take care not to expose the equipment to salty air. Do not drop water on the equipment. Do not open the marine pack underwater or on the beach.

This phenomenon affects the lens on the camcorder as well as the human eye and the area recorded is narrower. Using the supplied wide-conversion lens is recommended. Operate the camera with slow and stable motions When recording, keep your body stable.
