After Recording
After recording in a location subject to sea breezes, wash the sports pack
with fresh water with the buckles fastened thoroughly, then wipe with a
soft dry cloth. It is recommended that you submerge the sports pack in
fresh water for about 30 minutes. If it is left with salt on it, metal portions
may be damaged or rust may form and cause water leakage.
•If you get suntan lotion or other greasy substances on your sports pack,
wash it off with tepid water.
•Clean the inside of the pack with a soft dry cloth. Do not wash the inside
of the pack.
•Do not use any type of solvent such as alcohol, benzine or thinner for
cleaning, as this might damage the finish.
Anti-fogging lens solution

This is effective in preventing from fogging.
How to use the anti-fogging lens solution
Apply 2 or 3 drops of the liquid to the front glass and the glass of the eye
cup and wipe evenly to spread the liquid out by using the swabs, a soft
cloth or tissue paper.
