4. Setup and Installation
- Opening the Case: Locate the two locking clips at the top of the case. Rotate them outwards to unlock the seal. Gently pull the top section away from the main body of the case to open it.
- Inserting Your Phone: Carefully place your smartphone inside the case. Ensure it is centered and fits snugly without excessive force.
- Sealing the Case: Align the top section with the main body, ensuring the sealing edges meet perfectly. Press down firmly along the seal. Rotate the two locking clips inwards until they click securely into place. It is crucial to ensure both clips are fully locked to maintain the waterproof integrity.
- Attaching to Bicycle (Optional): The BK31 case can be attached to your bicycle using a compatible mount (sold separately) or carried using the included lanyard. If using a mount, ensure it is robust and securely fastened to your bike's handlebars or frame.
- Lanyard Use: Thread the lanyard through the designated loop at the top of the case. This allows for easy carrying or additional security when mounted.
5. Operating Instructions
- Touchscreen Functionality: The clear front panel allows for full touchscreen operation of your smartphone while it is inside the case. For best results, ensure your screen is clean and dry before inserting.
- Camera Use: The transparent back panel allows for camera use. Ensure the phone's camera lens aligns with the clear window for unobstructed photos and videos.
- Call Functionality: While the case provides protection, audio quality for calls may be slightly reduced. Consider using Bluetooth headphones for clearer communication.
- Waterproof Test: Before first use with your phone, it is recommended to perform a waterproof test. Place a piece of tissue paper inside the empty case, seal it, and submerge it in water for 30 minutes. If the tissue paper remains dry, the seal is effective.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the case with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material or the waterproof seal.
- Drying: After exposure to water, wipe the case dry, especially around the sealing area, before opening to prevent water from entering.
- Storage: Store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid folding or creasing the sealing edges.
- Seal Inspection: Periodically inspect the rubber seal for any cracks, tears, or debris. A damaged seal will compromise the waterproof integrity.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water inside the case | Case not properly sealed; damaged seal; excessive submersion. | Ensure clips are fully locked. Inspect seal for damage; replace if necessary. Do not exceed recommended water exposure. |
| Touchscreen unresponsive | Air trapped inside; screen protector interference; phone not centered. | Press out excess air before sealing. Adjust phone position. Some thick screen protectors may reduce sensitivity. |
| Case difficult to open/close | Debris in seal; cold temperatures; new product stiffness. | Clean seal area. Allow case to warm up. With repeated use, the mechanism will become smoother. |
