Caution:
Do not remove the External Strobe Connector’s waterproof cap unless an external sync cord is going to be plugged in.
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 easier. Once the camera is installed and the lid snaps have been closed, return the controls to their operating position.

Mounting the Tray/Handles
When mounting the aluminum tray and handles to the housing, first insert the black bushings in the tray slots. The bushings fit tightly in the tray slots so they will not fall out when the tray bolts are removed. Tighten tray bolts so that slots are farthest forward toward housing front (see illustration).

Closing the Housing |
|
|
|
| |
1. | Place housing face down in your lap. |
|
| ||
2. | Check to see that there is an o’ring |
|
| ||
| on the housing back and that it is |
|
| ||
3. | clean and in its proper location. |
|
|
| |
Guide the back onto the housing. |
|
| |||
| The o’ring should touch the housing |
|
| ||
| all the way around. There should be |
|
| ||
| an even gap all the way around |
|
|
| |
| between the housing and the |
|
|
| |
4. | housing back. |
|
|
|
|
Lift the lid snaps so they are |
|
|
| ||
| extended and place the lid snap |
|
|
| |
5. | into the hook on the housing back. |
|
| ||
To close the housing push |
|
|
| ||
| down on the lid snaps until |
|
|
| |
| they snap into place . Lid |
|
|
| |
| snaps on opposite sides of the |
|
|
| |
| housing should be closed at the |
|
|
| |
| same time. Be sure they are down |
|
| ||
| 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. | ||||
