Important Notices
»This housing requires a compatible Lens Port for waterproof
operation. The housing is not waterproof without a Lens Port
attached.
»To prevent salt build-up and sticking controls, submerge the
empty housing in clean, freshwater. Operate the controls
several times each while underwater to ush out any residue.
»Never leave a housing in a rinse tank, even if it is the only
system in the tank. Most catastrophic oods happen when the
user walks away from a housing while it is in the rinse tank.
»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 and
o-rings, and may result in leaking.

Setting Up Your Housing
Opening the Housing
1. Push the lid snap lock forward and start to lift the curved end away
from the housing.

2. Lid snaps are designed to provide enough force to compress the
o-ring for a proper seal. Keep rm pressure against the lid snap
while lifting it away.
Lid Snap Lock
3. Repeat with remaining lid snaps.
4. Remove the housing back.
Inserting the Camera
1. Remove any lanyard or neck strap which may be attached to the
camera.
2. Check to see whether the camera’s lens will t through the port
opening of the housing. If not, the lens will need to be removed
from the camera body and re-attached AFTER the camera body is
insalled in the housing.
3. Remove the camera mounting plate from the housing.
9
4. Line the mounting screw up with the camera’s tripod socket. Use a
coin or at head screwdriver to tighten the mounting plate to the
camera.

5. Pull out on the housing control knobs to move them out of the way.
6. Insert the mounting plate into the slot on the inside bottom of the
housing. Push the camera all of the way forward until the back of
the mounting plate is ush with the back of the housing mount.
Attaching the Hotshoe
1. Make sure the contacts are clean.
2. Slide the hotshoe onto the camera with the LOCK marking towards
the back of the camera.
3. Push the hotshoe forward until it is unable to go any farther. The
hotshoe must be pushed all of the way forward to make proper
contact with the camera and provide TTL operation.
4. Rotate the locking ring clockwise until snug.
Closing the Housing
1. Make sure the o-ring is clean and in its proper location on the back
of the housing. The main o-ring does not require lubricant to make
a seal.
10
2. Place the back onto the housing front.
3. Make sure no controls or wires are interfering with the o-ring or the
back of the housing.
4. Place each lid snap into the corresponding hook on the housing
back.
5. Push the lid snaps towards the housing until they are at against
the housing and the lock has engaged. Close opposing lid snaps at
the same time.
6. Check the o-ring seal. The o-ring should form a uniform, solid line
around the back of the housing. There will be a small, even gap
around the housing between the housing back and the housing
front.
Attaching the Lens Port
A compatible lens port is required for waterproof operation.
Never submerge the housing without a lens port attached.
1. Lightly lubricate the o-ring on the port base. When properly
lubricated, the o-ring should have an even, slightly shiny
appearance. Wipe off any excess lubricant. Lubricant prevents the
o-ring from rolling or extruding; it is not a sealing mechanism.
2. If using a gear sleeve, place it on the port base with the teeth side
outwards.
3. Slide the lens port onto the housing port base and press evenly
down towards the housing until it stops. There should be a very
thin, even gap between the bottom of the port and the housing
front.
4. If using a dome with a shade, rotate the lens port gently so that the
wider extensions are oriented on the top and bottom. If the shade is
misaligned, it may cause vignetting (dark shadows in the corner of
the image).
