Closing the Housing
1.	Place housing face down in your			housing back
	lap.
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.

Checking Controls

Once the housing has been closed, push the controls back into place. Make sure they line up with the camera’s controls.

Turn Camera On

Turn the camera on and operate each of the housing controls to get a feel for using the camera in the housing. Take a few pictures above water with the camera in the housing.

The housing’s Jog Dial		Jog Dial Control
Control has a small bump	ock
on the inside face of the					Jog Dial
control for depressing the
Jog Dial on the camera.
The small bump is in the
same location as the
white dot on the control
knob. To use, rotate the				Control
control knob until the				Button
white dot is in the 9			Back of Housing
o’clock position. In this

position the small bump will depress the Jog Dial.

To select an item turn the jog dial to the item you want to set. Then pull out on the control slightly and position the white dot over the jog dial and depress. This will set the item you selected.

Quick-Release Base, Handles and Tray

Quick-Release Base

The Quick-Release Base is plastic. A toggle lever located underneath the base allows the base to be easily removed from the Tray. Turn the housing upside down, pull out on the toggle lever. Rotate the lever 90° to remove the base.

Handles and Tray

The housing handles are rubber and the tray is aluminum. Their weight helps to offset the buoyancy of the housing. The complete assembly is slightly negative underwater for better control. The handles have a push button release for easily attaching and removing strobe arms. The tray and handles can be removed from the housing. To remove the tray, the base must be removed to gain access to the nuts holding the tray on the housing. Remove the 2 nuts, washers and rubber spacers. DO NOT remove the bolts protruding through the housing.
