A clearer answer.
A better outing.
Start with battery level, the video connection and the active mode.
Ask Rexing support →Can I put the display unit underwater?
No. The manual rates the host/display IP54; it is not designed for immersion. Only the underwater camera is rated for diving to 25 meters. The supplied cable is 20 meters long. Keep the display, ports and power connections above water.
Which memory card can I use?
