Maintenance
The Ikelite Digital Housing should be given the same care and attention as your other photographic equipment. In addition to normal maintenance we recommend that the housing be returned to Ikelite periodically to be checked and pressure tested.
1. Do Not leave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Heat may damage the camera.
2. Do Not ship the camera in the housing.set 3. Before using the housing, always check the tightness of the
screw in each control knob.
Check each control gland to make sure they are tight. There is a slight chance that either could vibrate loose during trav el.
4. Keep the back o'ring clean and lightly lubricated. To lubricate remove the o'ring from the back. Put a small amount of lkelite lubricant on your fingers. Draw the o'ring through your fingers to apply a light coating of lubricant. Only apply enough lubricant to make the o'ring feel slick. Do Not stretch the o'ring. This light coating of lubricant will help to keep the o'ring from drying out and will help to show a dark sealing line when the housing back is properly sealed.
5. Keep the area where the o'ring fits and the sealing surface of the housing clean.
6. Rinse the housing exterior in fresh water after each salt water use. Dry with a soft cloth. Dry lens port to eliminate spotting. After several uses in salt water soak the housing in a mild soap solution, rinse and dry before storage. When storing the housing, remove the back o'ring, lightly lubricate and place in a plastic bag. Place the plastic bag with o'ring inside the housing for safe keeping.
CAUTION
Never use spray lubricants as the propellant ingredient can cause the plastic housing to crack.
