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, fresh water. 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.
»A bulkhead cap or sync cord must be attached to the housing
for waterproof operation. Never submerge the housing without
either a sync cord or waterproof bulkhead cap attached.
»This housing is only compatible with the Panasonic DC-
GX9K, DC-GX9M and DC-GX9 cameras as shipped by the
manufacturer. Unless otherwise noted, this housing does
not accommodate the use of add-on grips, battery grips,
eyepieces, LCD covers, or other accessories.

Accessory Port
Your housing features one 1/2-20 threaded Accessory Port which
may be used for attachment of factory optional or aftermarket housing
accessories. We recommend Vacuum Kit # 47012 which allows you to
pull a vacuum on the housing to simulate pressure at depth and check
for leaks prior to entering the water.
DO NOT remove the Accessory Hole Plug unless you are installing a
compatible accessory such as factory optional Vacuum Kit # 47012
Visit ikelite.com for an updated list of factory optional accessories or
Use the following steps to replace an Accessory Port Hole Plug with
an accessory tting to use an optional accessory:
1. Remove the Hole Plug using an 11/16 inch open end wrench.
2. Check the accessory tting o-ring sealing area. If an o-ring is not
present, use the Hole Plug o-ring. Lightly lubricate o-ring with
Ikelite Lubricant. Use ONLY Ikelite lubricant. Other manufacturer
lubricants can cause the o-ring to swell. Check o-ring and o-ring
sealing area. Both should be clean and free of hair, sand, or other
debris.
3. Carefully screw in and tighten accessory tting. The accessory port
features a 1/2-20 threaded hole. Make sure your tting is the same
thread pattern. DO NOT cross-thread. DO NOT overtighten.
NOTICE: Your Ikelite housing warranty DOES NOT extend to
cover the attachment of aftermarket housing accessories by 3rd
parties. Warranty DOES cover factory optional accessories attached
by certied Ikelite service technicians.
DO NOT remove the Accessory Port Hole Plug unless you are
installing a compatible accessory like Vacuum Kit # 47012.

- Manual Flash can be set on the camera if desired: S or M mode
must be used to ensure that redeye reduction mode can be selected.
Select redeye reduction mode. When the shutter release is pressed,
2 short bursts will be red by the ash with a noticeable delay (about
1/3 of a second) before the main ash is red. After that, you are now
in manual ash mode and the lightning bolt ash ready indicator will
disappear from the monitor, and there will be no more preashes.
To go back to TTL mode, power the strobe off and then on again,
then change the camera from red eye reduction back to “ll-in ash.”
NOTE: These are recommended “initial” camera settings to get
you started. Please adjust your camera as needed for each unique
shooting situation. Settings not mentioned should be set to the user’s
preference.
