Desiccants are held in the compartment under the mesh located on the side of the unit. The desiccants will remove any residual moisture in the unit when closed and will change color when they reach capacity. Color change instructions are printed on the desiccant packs and should be replaced as needed. If the firearm is not to be used for extended periods ensure fresh desiccants are placed in the compartment.

The O-ring seal is located on the hinged cover and must be free of dirt and debris to form a complete watertight seal. Visually inspect the seal integrity and replace if necessary.
