Important Notices

»

Do not use alcohol, cleaning agents, spray lubricants, Rain-X, or other solvents on the housing or lens port. Use of an incompatible chemical compound can damage the plastic or component o-rings, which may result in leaking.

Installation and Use Installing the Flat Port

1.

Attach the lens to the camera.

2.

Remove the vinyl cover from the flat port.

3.

Check that the port sealing surface is clean and free of debris.

4.

Apply a very thin, even layer of lubricant to the exposed portion of the housing’s front o-ring and to the lens port sealing surface. Avoid dry spots or uneven build-up of lubricant.

7.

Tighten all three thumbscrews while holding the port firmly towards the housing. The thumbscrews should thread in completely until the head touches the port. If the screws are difficult to turn and/or they bottom out before their heads are flush, it is an indication that the port is not pushed far enough down on the housing. »

The port must be fully seated onto the housing for waterproof operation. There should only be a very thin, even gap of approximately 0.15” (4mm) between the bottom of the port and the front of the housing.

Testing the Housing

1.

Assemble the housing without a camera installed.

2.

Submerge the housing in fresh water for several minutes.

3.

Remove the housing from water and dry the outside of the housing with a clean, lint-free cloth.

4.

Look through the back of the housing for signs that water has entered the housing. Signs include fogging or water droplets.

5.

We recommend making at least one dive without a camera installed to ensure waterproof operation.
