ENGLISH

Names of the parts

Please read before use.

This marine case is a precision instrument designed to permit safe
video recording under high water pressure. Please pay careful
attention when handling the unit before and after use, as explained
in this user’s manual.
Each part of the marine case has been subject to strict controls
during the manufacturing process, and the individual functions
have faced stringent tests during the assembly process. Each marine
case has also had to pass water-proof inspections using high-
pressure water testers. However, damage can sometimes occur
during transport and distribution, or during storage after purchase,
so before diving always carry out the following pre-use test to
verify safety.

Pre-use test
Be sure to perform the following pre-use test before diving.
1. Before mounting the camcorder inside the marine case, dive

with only the empty marine case and test for water leaks.
• You can easily check for water leaks at a depth of 1 m, where

there is no water pressure. Be sure to perform this test to
ensure the safety of your camcorder.

2. The following are some common causes of water leaks:

A. The marine case is used without attaching the O-ring.
B. The O-ring is not mounted in the correct position.
C. The O-ring is damaged or deformed.
D. There is sand, dirt, hair or other foreign matter on the O-ring.
E. There is sand, dirt, hair or other foreign matter on the contact

surface of the O-ring or on the inside of the lid.

F. The provided strap or silica gel bag is pinched inside the

marine case when the lid is closed.

To protect your camcorder and ensure optimum use, keep the
examples listed above in mind when using the marine case.

JVC accepts no responsibility for water leakage or damage to
anything inside the marine case (camcorder, cassette, etc.) due to
careless usage of this product.  Be sure to follow correct procedures
when using the marine case.

Mounting method and operating method
for each part
1. 
Tighten the camcorder’s grip strap.
2. Remove the four buckles on the marine case and open the

front lid.

3. Align the mark on the Power Dial

with the “OFF” mark on the marine

case.

4. Set the camcorder’s Power Switch to

“OFF”, then open the LCD monitor

and insert the camera into the marine

case.

Place the included anti-fogging silica gel in the gap between

the camcorder and the marine case to prevent fogging in the

marine case.
• Set the camcorder’s MODE Dial to the desired setting.

• If the camcorder’s Operation Switch is set to “

settings as required then insert the camcorder into the marine

case.

5. Fit the Zoom Lever projection on

the marine case over the outer

groove of the Power Zoom Lever

on the camcorder, making sure that

it is securely fit.

 If the camcorder’s Power

Switch is not set properly when the

camcorder is placed in the marine

case, it could break and/or it could

damage the Power Dial aligning

boss on the marine case.

6. Before sealing the marine case, check that there is no sand,

dirt, or other foreign matter on the O-ring mounted on the front

lid or on the O-ring contact surface on the main unit.

Also make sure that the inserted silica gel bag is not pinched. If

you dive with foreign matter trapped

in these areas, water will leak.

7. Check that the O-ring on the front lid

is correctly mounted in the groove,

then press in the front lid.  Flip down

the four buckles in the directions

indicated by the arrows in the figure

on the right to seal the marine case.

mode, a shadow (eclipse) may

appear around recorded images.

10. The zoom can be adjusted with the

Zoom Lever.

11. When you are finished shooting, set

the marine case’s Power Dial to

“OFF” (in the direction of the arrow)

while pressing it down to set the

camcorder’s Power Switch to “OFF”.
