Congratulations on your purchase of an Ikelite Digital Camera Housing. Ikelite has over 30 years of experience in the underwater photographic and lighting market. Our products are designed and built in the USA by Ikelite for both the professional and amateur photographer.

The clear housing permits instant visual inspection of the camera and all sealing surfaces as well as complete monitoring of controls and camera LCD screens.

Ikelite Digital Housings are slightly negative in salt water for stability. This housing has been water pressure tested at the factory. Housing is pressure tested to 200' (60m).

Opening the Housing 1. Lid Snaps have a Lock.

To open, push Lid Snap Lock forward and lift as shown.

Keep pressure on the Lid

Snap so it does not fly open

quickly.

Some lid snaps have a lot of

spring tension once they go over center, have a firm grip on the lid snap. Lid Snaps may be opened one at a time.

Installing the Camera

1. Remove the back from the housing. The mounting tray for the camera is secured to the housing back. Position the camera on the tray and

secure it with the mounting bolt which threads into the camera's tripod socket. Use a coin or flat bladed screwdriver to tighten the

mounting bolt so the camera is flat

against the tray.

CAUTION:

Some camera tripod socket threads are plastic. The mounting tray bolt is metal. Do not cross thread or over tighten as you may damage the camera tripod socket threads.

Closing the Housing
1.	Place housing face down in your			housing back
	lap or on a flat surface.
2.	Check to see that there is an
	o'ring on the housing back and
	that it is clean and in its proper
3.	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		housing
	around between the housing and
4.	the housing back.
	Lift the lid snaps so they are
	extended and place the lid snap			housing back
	into the hook on the housing
	back.
5.	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
	housing should be closed at the
	same time. Be sure they are down		housing
	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.
