Installing Camera in Housing

Before installing the camera, pull out on the controls in the front section of the housing. This will allow the camera to slide in easier. Once the camera is installed and the lid snaps have been closed, return the controls to their operating position.

Mounting the Tray/Handles

When mounting the aluminum tray and handles to the housing, first insert the black bushings in the tray slots. The bushings fit tightly in the tray slots so they will not fall out when the tray bolts are removed. Tighten tray bolts so that slots are farthest forward toward housing front (see illustration).

Closing the Housing
1.	Place housing face down in your lap.
2.	Check to see that there is an o’ring
	on the housing back and that it is
3.	clean and in its proper location.
	Guide the back onto the housing.
	The o’ring should touch the housing
	all the way around. There should be
	an even gap all the way around
	between the housing and the
4.	housing back.
	Lift the lid snaps so they are
	extended and place the lid snap
5.	into the hook on the housing back.
	To close the housing push
	down on the lid snaps until
	they snap into place . Lid
	snaps on opposite sides of the
	housing should be closed at the
	same time. Be sure they are down
	far enough to engage the lock.
Double check - Once the housing is closed, check the o’ring seal.
	Check the gap between the housing back and the housing, it
	should be even all the way around.
Look through the clear plastic back at the o’ring. You should see
	a darkened area where the o’ring is compressed against the
	housing back. If you do not see an even black compression seal
	all the way around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat the
	housing back and close the lid snaps. Visually check the seal again.
