Setup Guide

1. Air-Tightness Test (Crucial First Step)

Before placing your phone inside, perform this test to ensure the case is waterproof:

1. Open the case and place a dry tissue inside.
2. Seal the case securely.
3. Attach the vacuum pump to the designated port and pump out the air until a vacuum seal is achieved.
4. Submerge the sealed case in water for at least 30 minutes.
5. Remove the case from water, dry its exterior, and then open it to check the tissue.
6. If the tissue is completely dry, the case is waterproof. If it is wet, do not use the case with your phone and contact customer service.

2. Phone Installation

Ensure your phone is clean and dry before placing it into the housing. Align your phone correctly within the case to ensure proper button alignment and screen visibility through the lens.

• For Android users, connection is typically direct.
• If not connected within 2 minutes, the device will automatically power off.

Vacuum Pump Usage (Anti-Fogging)

The included vacuum pump helps prevent fogging inside the case:

1. After sealing your phone inside the case, attach the vacuum pump to the vacuum port.
2. Pump until the air is removed, creating a vacuum seal. This removes up to 99.6% of the air, effectively preventing fogging.
3. To release the vacuum, gently press the rubber under the screw-on cap.

Underwater Photography Tips

• Screen Brightness: Set your phone screen to stay on (Always On Display) before entering the water to avoid the screen timing out.
• ReefColor APP: Utilize the free TELESIN ReefColor APP for professional underwater color correction. This tool automatically restores red light loss and recognizes specific water conditions for optimized color palettes.
• Stability: The monolithic grip design, inspired by DSLR cameras, provides secure handling underwater.
• Wrist Strap: Always wear the included wrist strap to secure the case during use.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, especially in saltwater, rinse the entire case thoroughly with fresh, clean water. Do not use detergents or abrasive cleaners.
• Drying: Allow the case to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight.
• Gaskets and Seals: Regularly inspect the O-rings and sealing gaskets for any signs of damage, cracks, or debris (sand, hair, lint). Clean them gently with the provided cleaning cloth. A small amount of silicone grease (not included) can be applied to the O-rings to maintain their flexibility and sealing properties, but ensure it does not attract dust.
• 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 latch open to prevent compression of the O-rings over long periods.
• Lens Care: Use the provided cleaning cloth to gently wipe the glass lens surface. Avoid touching the lens with bare fingers to prevent smudges.
