Store and transport items with appropriate internal padding to avoid internal impact damage. After exposure to water or dust, rinse external surfaces with fresh water and dry thoroughly before opening to maintain the sealing surfaces. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight at extreme temperatures to preserve the polypropylene material.
