Setup
1. Phone Compatibility
The P4-WTP-06 is compatible with approximately 99.99% of phone models, specifically mobile phones with dimensions between 13.7 cm and 17.5 cm (5.4 to 6.9 inches). It supports straight screen mobile phones within a clamping range of 50-80 mm (19.6-31.4 inches).
2. Phone Installation

- Place your phone inside the TELESIN P4-WTP-06 case and securely close all latches.
- On your phone, navigate to Bluetooth settings and search for available devices.
- Select 'TELESIN_SDC' from the list to pair your device.
- Once paired, the device is ready for use.

2. Underwater Photography
The dive grip adapts to triple or quadruple-camera setups. Its 4.4-inch glass, used in precision optics like microscopes, ensures 97% visible light transmittance for true-to-life colors underwater. It provides ample room for post-editing while enabling wide-angle shots with zero obstruction.

3. Professional Color Grading (via App)
TELESIN offers a free, easy-to-use color grading tool, developed with leading algorithm partners. This tool provides one-tap compensation for red light attenuation, a common issue in underwater photography. It auto-identifies iconic waters like Maldives Blue Lagoon or Red Sea rust layer to apply appropriate color corrections. The app is expected to go live at the end of July; please stay tuned for official updates.

Maintenance
1. Anti-Fogging System
The TELESIN P4-WTP-06 features a vacuum anti-fogging system to eliminate glass fogging. The grip includes a one-way air valve and a pump, which removes 99.6% of air for fog-free reliability. This system has been validated over 1,000 tests and operates similarly to sealing a vacuum bag.

2. Cleaning and Care
- After each use, especially in saltwater, rinse the entire unit thoroughly with fresh water.
- Wipe the device dry with a soft, clean cloth.
- Ensure all seals and O-rings are clean and free from sand, dirt, or debris.
- Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
- Bluetooth Connection Issues: Ensure your phone's Bluetooth is on and paired with 'TELESIN_SDC'. If connection fails, try restarting both your phone and the P4-WTP-06 device.
- Fogging Inside the Case: If fogging occurs, ensure the vacuum seal is properly engaged using the included pump. Re-pump to remove any residual air.
- Water Ingress: Immediately remove your phone if you suspect water has entered the case. Double-check all seals and latches for proper closure and ensure the phone was installed bare-metal as recommended. Inspect O-rings for damage or debris.

User Tips
- Always perform a dry test with a paper towel inside the case before the first underwater use, and after any significant impact or maintenance, to ensure the waterproof seal is intact.
- Before closing the case, ensure the O-ring is clean and properly seated in its groove. A small amount of silicone grease can help maintain the O-ring's integrity.
- Avoid exposing the case to extreme temperatures, as this can affect the integrity of the seals.
- When using the vacuum pump, ensure a tight seal is formed to effectively remove air and prevent fogging.
