The rubber seal that lines the camera housing orms a waterproo barrier that
protects your HERO3 in wet and underwater conditions. Keep the camera housings
rubber seal clean; a single hair or grain o sand can cause a leak.
Aer every use in salt water you will need to rinse the outside o the housing
with non-salt water and dry. Not doing this can eventually cause corrosion o the
hinge pin and salt buildup in the seal, which can cause ailure.To clean the seal, rinse in resh water and shake dry (drying with a cloth may
cause lint to compromise the seal). Re-install the seal into the grooves in the
backdoor o the housing.
