Sealing Your Camera to prevent water damage The Waterproof Housing (standard PODZ on iON Air Pro 2 camera and Wi-Fi PODZ in Air Pro 2 Wi-Fi) allows you to operate the camera up to 10 meters or 30 feet under water. You must seal the camera with the PODZ in order to protect the camera when using it in wet or moist conditions. Notes: 1. The rubber seal on the PODZ forms the waterproof barrier to protect the camera in wet and underwater conditions. You must keep this seal clean as a single strain of hair or grain of sand can cause leakage into the product. 2. After every use in salt water, you will need to rinse the outside of the product and the seal with non-salt water and dry. Not doing this can cause corrosion in the product or failure in the seal, in turn, damaging the product. Warning: Please ensure you install and lock the PODZ correctly before using the camera to avoid water damage. Failure to properly seal your camera can result in leaks that damage or destroy your camera. Your warranty does not cover water damage resulting from user damage. 10. Troubleshooting 11.
