3. Remove the silica gel bag and place a new bag back to its original position.
4. Fasten the camera’s lid within 2 minutes of replacing the silica gel bag.
IMPORTANT:
1. The silica gel loses its effectiveness when the dry camera is opened. To prevent the lens
from fogging up, replace the silica gel bag every time when you open the camera and
conceal the gel bag in the camera within two minutes of exposing to the open air.
2. For each newly replaced silica gel bag, allow it to absorb moisture for at least 5 hours
before operating the camera.
