WATER RESISTANT AUDIO CAP (WITH HOLE) is used for standard firefighting conditions
and enables the camera to be water resistant but NOT waterproof underwater. The hole allows
audio to enter the unit for recording.

can submerge the camera. You will need to use 2 O-Rings and add some silicon grease from

hole) is firmly closed.
