3. Check that there are no scratches or cracks
on the marine case every time you use it.
The marine case must withstand water
pressure with use. Repeated exposure to
pressure eventually leads to material fatigue,
which may result in damage of the marine
case. Every time you use the marine case,
check in advance that there are no scratches
or cracks. If you frequently use the marine
case, be sure to ask for maintenance at the
store of purchase. (There is a charge for
maintenance.)
To protect your camera and ensure optimum use,
keep the examples listed above in mind when
using the marine case.
JVC accepts no responsibility for water leakage or
damage to anything inside the marine case
(camera, SD card, etc.) due to careless usage of
this product. Be sure to follow correct procedures
when using the marine case.

In order to use this product safely
Preparation (A Pg. 16)
Check that there is no dirt, cracks, or damage to
the O-ring.
Always apply grease to the O-ring.
Attaching the Marine Case to the Camera
(A Pg. 17, 18)
Attach the power button cap depending on the
camera used.
Make sure that the O-ring is not twisted, and that
you do not forget to attach it.
When tightening the seal, make sure there are
no foreign objects caught in the seal.
Recording the Video/Still Image Files
(A Pg. 18, 19)
Avoid opening and closing the marine case in
the shooting location.
When holding the marine case, lower it gently
into the water.
Detaching the Marine Case/Maintenance
(A Pg. 19, 20, 21)
Always wash the marine case in fresh water
after use.
Perform maintenance on the O-ring.
If water leaks into the case due to careless use of
the marine case, JVC cannot accept responsibility
for any damage that may occur to the internal
equipment and materials (video camera, SD card,
etc.), or any expenses incurred in taking the
photographs/video. Therefore, please be careful
when using the marine case.
Before use, this unit must be pre-
tested to check if there is any water
leakage.
This marine case is a precision instrument
designed to permit safe video recording under
high water pressure. Please pay careful attention
when handling the unit before and after use, as
explained in this user’s manual.
Each part of the marine case has been subject to
strict controls during the manufacturing process,
and the individual functions have faced stringent
tests during the assembly process. Each marine
case has also had to pass waterproof inspections
using high-pressure water testers. However,
damage can sometimes occur during transport
and distribution, or during storage after purchase,
so before diving always carry out the following
pre-use test to verify safety.
Pre-use test
Be sure to perform the following pre-use test
before diving.
1. Before mounting the camera inside the
marine case, dive with only the empty
marine case and test for water leaks.
Allow 5 or 6 minutes to ensure there are no
leaks.
Be sure to perform this test to ensure the
safety of your camera.
2. The following are some common causes of
water leaks:
Safety Precaution
Please read before use
A. The marine case is used without attaching
the O-ring.
B. The O-ring is not mounted in the correct
position.
C. The O-ring is damaged or deformed.
D. There is sand, dirt, hair or other foreign
matter on the O-ring.
E. There is sand, dirt, hair or other foreign
matter on the contact surface of the O-ring
or on the inside of the lid.
F. The provided strap or drying agent bag is
pinched inside the marine case when the lid
is closed.

Procedures for Using the Supplied Maintenance Kit
Drying agent
Prevents fogging inside the marine case.
Insert it at the back of the base attached to the
camera.
¹ The moisture absorption ability of drying
agent that has previously been used may
deteriorate depending on the conditions of
use. As such, we recommend that the drying
agent be replaced each time.
Anti-fog liquid
Apply the anti-fog liquid on the
inner side of front glass before
using the marine case.
Add two to three drops of the
liquid on a lens tissue paper
(commercially available) or a
clean cloth, and apply on the inner
side of the front glass.
Pass the strap through the
strap attachment hole
before using the marine
case to maintain a firm grip
in water.

Procedures for Using the Supplied Maintenance Kit
Drying agent
Prevents fogging inside the marine case.
Insert it at the back of the base attached to the
camera.
¹ The moisture absorption ability of drying
agent that has previously been used may
deteriorate depending on the conditions of
use. As such, we recommend that the drying
agent be replaced each time.
Anti-fog liquid
Apply the anti-fog liquid on the
inner side of front glass before
using the marine case.
Add two to three drops of the
liquid on a lens tissue paper
(commercially available) or a
clean cloth, and apply on the inner
side of the front glass.
Pass the strap through the
strap attachment hole
before using the marine
case to maintain a firm grip
in water.

z 3rd time: 3 minutes ~ 5 minutes (try operating
the levers and buttons while the marine case is
submerged).
z Always have someone hold the marine case
for you when diving into, or getting out of
water, to prevent loss or damages.
z If for any reason water leakage occurs, remove
the camera battery. It may cause the camera to
explode.
A
Turn on the camera’s power.
z Press and hold the power button for more
than 2 seconds to turn on the power. (The

quickly.
z The conditions may vary depending on the
environment of use such as temperature,
humidity, water temperature, salinity and
others.
If you do not intend to use the marine case for
longer than one month, remove and store the
O-ring away.
¹ For details, refer to the “O-ring Maintenance
Manual”.
The O-ring is an expendable part. Replace the
O-ring with a brand new one every year.
z When re-using an O-ring after storage, always
check the condition of the O-ring. Never use an
O-ring if it is deformed (crushed, distorted),
cracked, or damaged in any way.

Always perform maintenance on the marine case
after you have finished recording.
Salt crystal or dirt will accumulate inside the
marine case if maintenance is not performed, and
this can cause water leakage.
z Do this within 30 minutes after diving.
z Pour in fresh water until the marine case is
completely submerged in the container, and
shake the marine case in the upward,
downward, left and right directions.
z Move the buttons and levers while the marine
case is submerged, and rinse the dirt out from
any gaps or grooves. Proceed to C
z If used in the sea
-> Proceed to
Aerforming salt removal
If the marine case was used in the sea, submerge
the marine case in fresh water for at least 1 hour
to remove salt.
A
Prepare a container that contains fresh
water that is five times more than the
volume of the marine case.
z The container must be big enough to allow
the marine case to submerge fully.
z If only small containers are available, pour
in fresh water that is equivalent to at least
five times the volume of the marine case
over a few times.
z Shaking the marine case in the upward,
downward, left and right directions will be
more effective.
z Move the buttons and levers while the
marine case is submerged, and rinse the
salt out from any gaps or grooves etc.
z Make sure the grip is also free of salt.
B
Put in fresh water for at least 1 hour.
C
Remove the marine case and wipe off
water droplets on the case surface using a
dry towel.
D
Remove the camera.
z Face the front glass of the marine case
upwards, and open the buckles to remove
the camera, while paying attention not to let
water droplets at O-ring or buckles enter
the case.
z The camera may fall out if the buckles are
opened with the front glass facing down.
z If you cannot avoid opening the marine case at
the diving location, pay attention not to let
water droplets from your hair or your body
enter the case.
E
Remove the O-ring, and wipe off salt, sand
and other foreign matter.
z Also wipe the groove in which the O-ring
was inserted, and the part of the marine
case that was in contact with the O-ring,
and allow them to dry.
¹ For details on handling and storing the
O-ring, refer to the “O-ring Maintenance
Manual”.
F
Wipe the inside and outside of the marine
case with a dry cloth.
¹ Use a lint-free cloth to wipe the inside of
the marine case.
G
Wipe the inner side of the front glass.
z Add a few drops of the cleaner liquid
(commercially available) onto the inner side
of the front glass, and wipe off using a lens
