Fantasea CP-6 Instruction manual - Care & Maintenance:
Care & Maintenance:
The CP-6 housing requires only a minimum amount of care for reliable performance. The
following are tips that will enable you to get the best results.
1.Always soak your housing in fresh water for about 20 minutes after every dive to dissolve
the salt water crystals from around the controls and openings of the housing. Manipulate
each of the movable controls to assist the removal of salt particles from these tight areas.
2.Allow the housing to dry thoroughly before packing away for the day or for the trip
home. You may use a soft towel or cloth to dry the housing. Be sure there is no grease
or other debris on the towel.
3.Visually check the condition of the gasket before every dive. If it is dirty, clean it with
fresh water and dry it with a soft cloth as described above. If it is damaged in any way,
such as cut or perforated, replace it immediately.
4.Do not use grease or any other type of lubricant on the gasket when closing the housing..
It does not increase the ability of the gasket to make a proper seal.
5.Be careful not to get greasy fingerprints or dirt on the lens port. This will affect the image
quality. Wipe any dirt or grease off with fresh water and a soft cloth.
6.Do not drop the housing on hard surfaces. It is not a shock absorber, and could crack,
affecting its water-tight integrity. It could also cause damage to the camera inside.
7.Travel with the housing protected in a padded case. It is best to remove the camera from
inside the housing when traveling and provide it with its own protective case, or
compartment.
8.Never dive with the CP-6 housing to a depth greater than 130 ft/40 meters
.
9.Give your CP-6 an annual tune-up, as you would any tool that gets rugged use. The
Fantasea repair and maintenance facility will replace all O-rings on all controls and the
main gasket. Then the housing will be pressure tested to insure it is in good working
order.
10.It is recommended that you select the shortest time option on the menu, for placing
the camera into standby during periods of inactivity. This will conserve battery power
and reduce the heat given off by the LCD screen, which can contribute to condensation
inside the housing and fogging .
Flood Insurance:
Every CP-6 housing includes a one-year flood insurance policy. Supplied by the Divers
Equipment Protection Program (DEPP), this insurance policy acts as additional protection
to the warranty and is good for one year. If your CP-6 housing experiences water leakage
in this period of time, your camera will be replaced. Only a small shipping charge will
apply. After the first year, you will have the option of renewing the insurance policy directly
with DEPP.
