Troubleshooting
Case seal is difficult to close or lock
Check for debris in the latch mechanism or ensure that the internal contents are not positioned against the lid, preventing it from closing fully.
Items inside are showing signs of moisture damage
Inspect the rubber gasket around the rim of the case for cracks or debris; clean the gasket or replace the case if the seal is no longer airtight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the kit, choose a location that is easily accessible and clearly marked, such as a designated shade area or common break zone. If wall-mounting, use appropriate hardware (not included) to secure the case to a flat, vertical surface. For maintenance, perform a monthly visual inspection to ensure the seal on the case is intact and that no items have exceeded their expiration dates. Keep the kit out of direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the plastic casing from becoming brittle over time. Always restock any items immediately after they have been used to ensure readiness for the next incident.
