You cannot leave the red 20-meter waterproof cap installed on the DEUS II remote between underwater hunts because the pressure-balancing mechanism will cause keypad swelling and speaker malfunction when the remote is exposed to surface air for extended periods. The cap must be removed immediately after exiting the water and replaced with the standard land cap before storing your equipment. The red cap is a dive-specific component, not an all-environment replacement for the standard cap. Using it during regular surface operations shortens the remote's operational lifespan by subjecting the flexible keypad and speaker to unnecessary atmospheric pressure cycles.
