The
Fantasea FP-1
housing requires only a minimum amount of care for reliable
performance. The following are tips that will enable you to get the best results.
Always rinse your housing with a strong stream of fresh water and if possible soak
your housing in fresh water tub or rinse tank for about 20 minutes after every dive
in order 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do not drop the housing on hard surfaces. It is not a shock absorber, and could crack,
affecting its watertight integrity. It could also cause damage to the camera inside.

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.
Never dive with the
Fantasea FP-1
housing to a depth greater than 130 ft/40 meters.
It is recommended to have annual maintenance of all Fantasea housings. This includes
visual inspection and possible changing of all seals / gaskets / o-rings. It is recommended
to use an authorized Fantasea Service Center for this purpose. Please contact Fantasea
Line by email: service@fantasea.com or visit the Fantasea Customer Service section
at the end of this manual or on the Fantasea web site www.fantasea.com.
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 .
