MOUNTING A PORT AND/OR EXTENSING RING ON THE HOUSING
Safely mounting a Port or extension on the housing requires that the O-ring be clean, lubricated,
be properly seated in its groove and that the opposing sealing surface be clean and free of any
physical damage.
This AQUATICA A70D Digital Housing features a locking bayonet mount (Key #17), to mount a
port or extension ring on the housing:
1. Place the housing on its back on a soft and steady surface.
2. Place the port or extension ring inside the bayonet of the housing. Align one of the four alignment
notches with the opening of the housing.
3. Place your hands on opposite sides of the port or extension ring.
4. Push with even force on both sides of the port or extension ring until you feel it snap into place. Make sure the bayonet is completely
inside the housing.
5. Rotate the port clockwise until it stops. Do not force it. If there is too much resistance take the port off, check the O-ring and see that
the port or extension are properly seated before attempting to rotate again.
6. Try to rotate counter clockwise to conrm that the port or extension is safely locked on the housing.
7. When using large dome port such as the 6”, 8” and 9.25” with an extension, uses of the optional extension ring to port locking collar
(# 18469) is recommended, this will add another layer of safety by preventing the larger dome port from rotating during manipulation or
transportation to the dive site.
To remove a port or extension from the bayonet, press the port release lever (key #18) and rotate the port or extension counter clockwise,
carefully pull the port or extension off the bayonet.
Note: It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with this procedure by trying it without the camera in or the back cover attached to
the housing; this to better visualize the internal functioning of the bayonet and port.
