• Drying: Wipe the case dry with a soft, clean cloth. Ensure all water is removed from seals and crevices.
• Storage: Store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It is recommended to store the case with the latches open to prevent compression of the seals.
• Seal Inspection: Regularly inspect the O-rings and seals for any signs of wear, cracks, or deformation. Replace them if necessary to maintain waterproof integrity.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the indicator light no longer flashes or when buttons become unresponsive.

9. Troubleshooting

• Case Leaks:
  • Ensure all three latch switches are securely fastened.
  • Check the waterproof seal and O-rings for any debris (e.g., hair, sand) or damage. Clean or replace if necessary.
  • Re-perform the vacuum pump procedure to ensure a tight seal.
• Phone Touchscreen Unresponsive:
  • For iOS devices, verify that "Assistive Touch" is enabled in your phone's accessibility settings.
  • Ensure the Bluetooth connection between the case and your phone is active and stable.
  • Check if the phone is correctly positioned within the case, allowing the case's buttons to align with the screen.
• Buttons Not Working:
  • Check the battery level of the case. Replace the two 7# (AAA) batteries if they are low or depleted.
  • Ensure batteries are installed with correct polarity.
  • Re-pair the Bluetooth connection with your phone.

10. User Tips

• Always perform a dry run with a paper towel inside the case before first use and before each dive to ensure waterproof integrity.
• For Android phones, ensure your camera app can be controlled by volume buttons or external triggers if touchscreen access is limited underwater.
• Verify compatibility with your specific phone model, especially for less common or newer models like Motorola G84, Samsung A55 5G, Samsung Z Fold 5, Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro, or OnePlus 9 Pro, as the case is primarily designed for a range of iPhone and Samsung models.
