CAMERA BACKDOORS 
Your HERO+ LCD camera comes with three types of backdoors.
The Standard Backdoor makes the housing 
waterproof to 131’ (40m). Use this door to protect 
the camera from water, dirt, sand and other 
environmental hazards. This backdoor reduces 
wind noise at speeds greater than 100mph.
The Touch Backdoor enables access to the touch 
display and provides waterproof protection to 
10’ (3m).
NOTICE: To prevent damage to the touch display, 
do not exceed this depth when using this backdoor. 
Touch functions do not work underwater.  
In extreme altitude and temperatures, keep the 
housing unlatched until you use the camera.
The Skeleton Backdoor is not waterproof. This 
backdoor enables access to the touch display, 
provides enhanced cooling, and allows more 
direct access to the microphone. Use this 
backdoor only when sand, excessive dirt/dust, 
and water damage are not a risk. This backdoor  
is also recommended for use inside vehicles.
