Attaching a Sync Cord to the Housing

The Housing Bulkhead is designed to accept only an Ikelite 5-pin TTL Sync Cord.

1.Lightly lubricate the Sync Cord O-ring. Use ONLY Ikelite lubricant (supplied with housing).

2.Remove Bulkhead Cap from Housing Bulkhead.

3.Line up the Sync Cord Pins with the corresponding Bulkhead receptacles. Gently insert Sync Cord into Bulkhead. DO NOT force this installation. If the Sync Cord does not seat properly inside the Bulkhead, the pins and receptacles are improperly aligned (repeat Step 3).

4.Tighten the Knurled Nut snugly using your Index finer and thumb. DO NOT use pliers or other tools to tighten the Knurled Nut.

Always remove the Sync Cord from your Housing when not in use, and replace the Bulkhead Cap.

Caution:

Do not remove the waterproof Bulkhead Cap unless an external sync cord is going to be plugged in. Do not remove Bulkhead Cap or Sync Cord underwater.
