Important Notices
»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.
»Always assemble in a cool, dry location. Opening the housing
in a humid environment will lead to fogging.

Tray Mounts
This housing features two 12-24 threaded tray mounts on the bottom
of the housing. The spacing between the tray mounts is 3” (76.2 mm).
Optional tray with handles and mounting hardware are sold separately.
It is recommended to detach and thoroughly rinse the tray mounts,
tray, and mounting hardware, with fresh water routinely during
continuous use and prior to storage.
Lanyard Mount
The included lanyard is a break-away safety lanyard. The lanyard is
designed to break if stress is placed on it. This is important so that
the user can break free if the equipment is caught on something
underwater.
The lanyard is not designed to support the weight of the housing and
should not be used as a carrying strap. Carrying the housing by the
lanyard may result in damage to the lanyard and/or housing.
A different lanyard with a thin cord may be attached to the housing
using the lanyard mount on the side of the housing back.

Pre-Installation Checklist

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.
Closing the Housing
1. Remove any lanyard or neck strap which may be attached to the
camera.
2. 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.
3. Pull out on the housing control knobs to move them out of the way.
The motion picture control must be facing forward and upward to
allow clearance for proper camera installation.
4. 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.

5. Align the housing back with the front and carefully insert the camera
into the housing front until the rear o-ring is touching the front.
6. Make sure no controls or wires are interfering with the o-ring or the
back of the housing.
7. Place each lid snap into the corresponding hook on the housing
back.
8. 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.
9. 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.
Installing the Flash Diffuser or Deector
1. Only the diffuser or deector may be installed at any given time. If
a diffuser or deector is attached to the port, remove it by pulling it
away from the port.
2. Press the large opening over the housing’s lens port until it snaps
into the groove in the outer circumference of the port. The piece
may bend during installation.
