Or pull out the lens release lever (key # 12) out of the way, open the back cover remove hot shoe from camera and pull out the complete camera & lens, replace the lens and reinstall.

MOUNTING THE PORT

Before mounting the Port on the Housing always ensure that the port O-ring is clean, lubricated and properly seated in its groove and that he sealing surface on the Housing is clean and free of physical damage.

The AQUATICA 7D Digital Housing features a locking bayonet mount (#17). To mount the port or extension ring simply:

1.Place the housing on its back on a soft steady surface.

2.Place the port or extension ring inside the main port of the housing. Align one of the four alignment notches with the opening of the housing.

3.Place your hands on opposite sides of the port or extension ring.

4.Push with even force on both sides of the port or extension ring until you feel it snap into place. Make sure the bayonet is completely inside the housing.

5.Finally press the port lock button down, turn the Port clockwise

until it stops and then release the port lock button. Do not force it. If there is too much resistance take the port off, check the O-ring and retry.

6.Check to ensure for the proper seating and sealing of the port or extension and that it is safely locked on the housing.

Note : It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with this mount by trying it without the camera, this will allowyou to see the inside view of the bayonet mount and of the ports or extension rings in the housing.
