							IMportant safety and  
HandlInG  InforMatIon
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions 
could result in fire, electric shock, or other injury or 
damage to the LCD BacPac or other property.
hAnDLing  
The LCD BacPac contains sensitive components. Do not 
drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, 
shred, microwave, incinerate, paint, or insert foreign 
objects into the LCD BacPac. Do not use the LCD BacPac 
if it has been damaged—for example, if LCD BacPac is 
cracked, punctured, or damaged by water.
The LCD screen is made of glass. This glass could break 
if the BacPac is dropped on a hard surface without the 
waterhousing or receives a substantial impact or is 
crushed, bent, or deformed. If the glass chips or cracks, 
do not touch or attempt to remove the broken glass. 
Glass cracked due to misuse or abuse is not covered 
under the warranty.
kEEPing thE  LCD CLEAn
Clean LCD screen immediately if it comes into contact 
with any contaminants that may cause stains, such as 
ink, dyes, makeup, dirt, food, oils, and lotions. To clean 
the LCD, use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid 
getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners, 
household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, 
ammonia, or abrasives to clean LCD BacPac.

whEn not in houSing
When not protected in the waterhousing, do not use the LCD 
BacPac in rain, or near washbasins or other wet locations. 
Take care not to spill any food or liquid on the LCD BacPac. 
In case the LCD BacPac gets wet, turn off and unplug from 
camera before cleaning, and allow it to dry thoroughly 
before using again. Do not attempt to dry the LCD BacPac 
with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven or 
hair dryer. Damage to the LCD BacPac caused by contact 
with liquid is not covered under the warranty.
uSing ConnECtoRS  AnD PoRtS
Never force a connector into a port. Check for obstruc-
tions on the port. If the connector and port don’t join with 
reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure 
that the connector matches the port and that you have 
positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.
kEEPing thE  LCD BACPAC within   
ACCEPt ABLE tEmPERA tuRES
The LCD BacPac is designed to be operated in tempera-
tures between 0° C and 40° C and stored in temperatures 
between 0° C and 50° C. Low-or high-temperature condi-
tions might temporarily shorten battery life or cause the 
LCD BacPac to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid 
dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using 
the LCD BacPac as condensation may form on or within 
the LCD BacPac. When you’re using the LCD BacPac  
or charging the battery, it is normal for the LCD BacPac  
to get warm. The exterior of the LCD BacPac functions  
as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the  
unit to the cooler air outside.
