Wrap a small soft weight in a blue paper towel, place inside housing and close the lid to seal the housing.
The blue paper towel makes it easier to see a leak. Make sure not to pinch the paper towel in the O-ring .
Place the sealed housing in a tub of cold water for about one hour. No leaks should be present. If the
housing shows signs of leaking, do not use the housing and contact your local authorized SeaLife
Dealer of the SeaLife Service Center for repairs.

4. Replace O-ring every year to ensure proper seal. Only use approved SeaLife O-ring designed for the
DC500. Replacement O-rings are available at your local authorized SeaLife dealer.
5. After each use underwater:
a. Soak sealed housing in fresh water for about 15 minutes. Most dive boats offer special fresh water
buckets specifically for underwater photo equipment. DO NOT put camera housing in fresh water
designed fro other dive equipment, like dive mask, because that water may contain detergents which
are harmful to the housing.
b. Push all the control buttons several times while waterproof housing is soaking to clean out any salt
water, sand or dirt that has accumulated during usage.
c. Use clean, soft cloth to dry housing. Store camera and housing only after careful cleaning and when
totally dry.
