How to set-up the Underwater Housing

Set up camera

1.Insert 2 fully charged Ni-MH batteries (size AA, capacity at least 1800 mAh). See page 68 for more battery information. Make sure you insert the batteries with the correct + and – polarity.

2.Clean camera lens with dry, clean cotton cloth.

3.Set camera focus lens to Seascape/Landscape distance, (left position). DO NOT SET TO MACRO or Portrait.

4.Remove camera strap since this may prevent the camera from correctly seating itself inside the housing.

5.Set camera to Sea mode. If you are using an External Flash, set camera to External Flash mode. See page 49 for detailed instructions on how to set camera to Land, Sea or External Flash modes.

Set up housing

Opening and loading of the housing should be done only in dry cool air, such as in an air-conditioned room to prevent fogging.

1. Open the housing by pulling up latch on side of housing. Do not extend housing lid beyond its stop point or damage may occur to the hinge area.

2. Carefully inspect O-ring for damage and make sure O-ring is firmly seated in its groove.

If O-ring is damaged and requires replacement, contact SeaLife Service Center (For service details, see page 58).

3. Clean the housing glass lens port using clean,

dry cotton cloth. It is recommended to apply anti-fog solution to the inside surface of the housing lens port.

4. Carefully insert camera into housing. Make sure camera is clean and dry.

5. Insert two Anti-Fog desiccant capsules into special slots inside housing. Note: New desiccant capsules will be blue in color. As the desiccant absorbs moist air, it turns from blue to light pink. Replace desiccant capsules when color changes to light pick.

6. Carefully clean O-ring and inside of housing area where O-ring makes contact. Use cleaning brush provided in Care Kit. O-ring must not be wet when sealing housing, allow these areas to dry.

O-Ring must be absolutely clean of all lint, sand or other small particles.

Do not grease O-ring.
