with the buckle fastened to remove salt and sand, then wipe with a soft dry cloth. It is
recommended that you submerge the waterproof case in fresh water for about 30
minutes. If it is left with salt on it, metal portions may be damaged or rust may form and
cause water leakage.
If sun oil is on the waterproof case, be sure to wash it off thoroughly using lukewarm
water.
Wipe the inside of the waterproof case with a soft dry cloth. Do not wash it with water.
Be sure to perform the above maintenance each time you use the waterproof case. Do not
use any type of solvent such as alcohol, benzine or thinner for cleaning, as this might
damage the surface finish of the waterproof case.

well-ventilated location. Do not fasten the buckle.
Prevent dust from collecting on the waterproof packing.
