Closing the Housing

Place housing face down in your

housing back

lap or on a flat surface.

Check to see that there is an

o-ring on the housing back

and that it is clean and in its

proper location.

Guide the back onto the housing.

The o-ring should touch the

o-ring

housing all the way around.

There should be an even gap all

the way around between the

housing and the housing back.

Lift the lid snaps so they are

extended and place the lid

housing back

snap into the hook on the

housing back.

To close the housing push

even gap

down on the lid snaps until

all 4 sides

they snap into place . Lid

snaps on opposite sides of the

o-ring

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.
