Fantasea FP-4 Operator's manual - Care & Maintenance:
16
The Fantasea FP-4 housing require 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.
1.
Care & Maintenance:
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.
2.
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.
4.
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.
5.
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.
6.
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.
7.
Never dive with the Fantasea FP-4 housing to a depth greater
than 130 ft/40 meters.
8.
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.
