CAMERA PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION
Important Note: Prior to installing the camera in the housing, remove the rubber eye cup (illustration #1),
the camera strap and clips, and/or any object that might obstruct installation, third party camera strap
hookup should be removed. It is advisable before inserting the camera in the housing, and in order to
save valuable time underwater, to preset your camera shootting preferences in advance,
1- Remove the quick release tray (# 15) from the housing by pressing down on the metal tab (A) and
pulling the tray out (B) as shown in Illustration #2. Carefully place the camera on it, making sure that
the camera is properly aligned and secured against rotation or movement on the alignment pin (C) as
seen in illustration #3. Align the Tripod Socket of the camera with the mounting screw (# 16). Tighten
the mounting screw securely while ensuring that the camera position is not altered.
2- Pull out the lens release lever
(#12) as per illustration # 4
3 - If using the optional Hydrophone
connect the plug to the camera
audio jack, and tuck the rubber
ap of the microphone plug safely
out of the way.
4 - Slide the quick release tray (# 15) back into place; it will lock itself into place.
CLOSING PROCEDURE OF THE HOUSING
Before closing the housing always conrms that:
1. The camera quick release tray is securely locked to the front half of the housing.
2. If using electrical sync cord, that the hot shoe connector is properly inserted
on the camera shoe as seen in illustration at right. That all cords or wires are
tucked in so that they will not interfere with the closing of the housing.
3. The main O-ring of the housing is well lubricated, clean and properly seated
for a positive seal and its opposing sealing surface is clean and free from
any scratches or physical damage.
4. The controls of the ON / OFF control (key # 19) and the Live View control
(key # 20) of the housing are in the same position on both the housing and
camera, as per illustration # 6 & # 7.
Then simply join the front and rear halves of the housing using the two dowel pins on
the housing as guides.
Hold the housing with both hands and looks around the sealing surface to conrm
that the O-ring is properly seated and that no cords, wires are caught between the
edges. Close the two latches simultaneously.
CAUTION: If you feel any unusual resistance as you attempt to close the
latches, do not force the closure. Check for any obstruction and
try again.
Conrm that the spring loaded safety tabs of the latches (key A) are properly engaged
in order to prevent the closing latches from opening accidentally. Simply try to lift the
latch if the tab (A) is engaged, it should not be possible to do so without rst disengaging the safety tab.
Be mindful when opening the housing, the pressure build up inside the housing may exaggerate the release force
of the latch spring. Keep ngers safely away from the path of the latches.
