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 more easily. Once the camera is installed, close the lid snaps and return the controls to their operating position.

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.

Installing the Zoom Clamp & Gear Sleeve On the Type 1Lenses The Zoom Clamp has springs so it can be expanded to fit over the Zoom Ring of the lens as shown in (Fig. C). Install the Zoom Clamp with the extension tabs toward the rear element of the lens. After installing the Zoom Clamp and Gear Sleeve (Fig. D & E), install the Lens Port and rotate the Zoom Ring on the lens. If the Zoom Ring and Gear Sleeve do not mesh properly, install the rubber strips (supplied) to the inside diameter of the Zoom Clamp as shown (Fig. F). Two thicknesses of rubber strips are provided. Start by installing the thinnest rubber strips. If the Zoom Clamp still is not tight enough, use the thicker rubber strips. Reinstall the Zoom Clamp, Sleeve, and Port.
