5. Preparation & Installation
5.1 Pre-use Waterproof Test
Before first use or after any maintenance, perform a waterproof test without your phone inside. This ensures the case is properly sealed and prevents potential damage to your device.
- Place a piece of tissue paper inside the case.
- Close and seal the case according to the instructions in section 5.2.
- Submerge the sealed case in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the case, dry its exterior thoroughly, then open it and check the tissue paper for any signs of moisture. If the tissue paper is wet, do not use the case and contact customer support.
5.2 Inserting Your Phone and Sealing the Case
Follow these steps carefully to ensure a secure and waterproof seal:
- Put your phone in the case: Open the case cover and carefully place your iPhone inside, ensuring it is properly aligned with the internal buttons and screen area.
- Close the case cover: Gently close the top cover of the case until it clicks into place.
- Rotate and lock the case: Rotate the security lock mechanism to fully secure the case. Ensure it is firmly locked to prevent accidental opening.
- Open the valve port: Unscrew the blue cap covering the one-way valve.
- Use a pump to draw a vacuum: Insert the manual pump into the valve port and pump until resistance is felt, indicating a vacuum has been created inside the case. This enhances the waterproof seal.
- Put the cover on: Replace and tighten the blue cap on the valve port.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your PULUZ Waterproof Diving Case, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leakage into the case | Improper sealing, damaged O-ring, debris on O-ring, case not fully locked, vacuum not created. | Perform a pre-use waterproof test. Ensure the case is closed and locked correctly. Inspect the O-ring for damage or debris and clean/grease it. Ensure vacuum is properly drawn. |
| Buttons are unresponsive or finicky underwater | Phone not properly aligned, internal button mechanisms misaligned, screen protector interference. | Re-align the phone inside the case. Ensure the phone's screen is clean. Some phone settings may require adjustment to allow physical button control for camera functions. |
| Difficulty creating a vacuum seal | Valve cap not fully removed, pump not properly inserted, O-ring issue. | Ensure the blue valve cap is completely unscrewed. Insert the pump firmly into the valve port. Check the O-ring for any issues. |
| Fogging inside the case | Temperature difference between inside and outside the case, high humidity. | Place anti-fog inserts (not included) inside the case. Assemble the case in a dry, cool environment. |
