4. Safety Information

Before using the waterproof case with your iPhone, it is crucial to perform a water test. Failure to do so may result in water damage to your device. Ensure all seals are properly closed and inspect the case regularly for any damage that might compromise its protective features. Do not expose the case to extreme temperatures outside its specified operating range.

5. Setup and Installation

1. 5.1 Water Test (Mandatory Before First Use)

   Before installing your iPhone, place a piece of tissue paper inside the empty case. Close the case completely, ensuring all latches and port covers are securely sealed. Submerge the case in water for at least 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the case, dry it thoroughly, and open it to check if the tissue paper is dry. If the tissue paper is wet, the case is not waterproof. Do not use it with your iPhone and contact customer support.

   

2. 5.2 iPhone Installation

   Recommendation: Remove any existing screen protectors from your iPhone before installation to ensure optimal touch sensitivity and a proper seal.

   

   1. Clean your iPhone screen and the inside of the case thoroughly with the provided cleaning cloth.
   2. Separate the front and back covers of the waterproof case using the included case key if necessary.
   3. Carefully place your iPhone into the front cover, ensuring it sits snugly and all edges are aligned.
   4. Align the back cover with the front cover and press firmly around all edges until you hear a click, indicating that the case is securely sealed.
   5. Double-check all port covers and buttons to ensure they are properly sealed and functional.

3. 5.3 Attaching the Hand Strap

   Thread the hand strap through the designated hand strap hole on the side of the case for convenient and secure carrying.

• Buttons: All buttons (power, volume, mute switch) are accessible and functional through the case. Use the convenient mute switch for quick sound adjustments.
• Charging:
  • Wired Charging: Open the Lightning port cover at the bottom of the case to access the charging port. Ensure the cover is securely closed after charging to maintain waterproof integrity.

• Camera: The case provides clear access to your iPhone's cameras, with a raised bezel for protection.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the case regularly with water and a soft cloth. Ensure no debris is trapped in the seals or ports.
• Regular Water Tests: Perform a water test periodically, especially after any drops or impacts, to ensure the waterproof integrity remains intact.
• Seal Inspection: Inspect the rubber seals around the case and port covers for any signs of wear, tear, or damage. Replace the case if seals are compromised.
• Storage: Store the case in a cool, dry place when not in use.

8. Troubleshooting

• Water Leakage: If water enters the case during a water test, ensure all seals are clean and properly closed. Re-install the case, making sure the front and back covers are snapped together firmly. If the issue persists, the case may be damaged.
• Reduced Touch Sensitivity: Ensure no other screen protector is installed on your iPhone. The built-in screen protector of the case is designed for direct contact with the phone's screen.
• Muffled Sound: Check that the charging port cover is fully open when making calls or listening to audio to allow sound to pass through clearly. Ensure the case is properly sealed when waterproof protection is needed.
• Buttons Not Responding: Verify that your iPhone is correctly seated within the case and that the case's buttons align perfectly with your phone's buttons.
