FFLLAATT PPOORRTT

For standard, macro, and telephoto lenses.

Due to refraction flat ports reduce the angle-of -coverage of a lens

and at the same time enlarge the image. This makes the flat port

ideal when using standard, macro or zoom lenses to shoot small

subjects. Note that if a port is long enough to accommodate the

full length of a 1:1 macro lens, the lens may vignette when used at

infinity. If access to the lens' full range is desired, then select a

dome port instead.

The Ikelite Housing should be given the same care and attention

as your other photographic equipment. In addition to normal

maintenance we recommend that the housing be returned to

Ikelite periodically to be checked and pressure tested.

1. DDoo NNoottleave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for

prolonged periods. Heat may damage the camera.

2. DDoo NNoottship the camera in the housing.

. Before using the housing, always check the tightness of the

sseett ssccrreewwin each control knob.

Check each ccoonnttrrooll ggllaannddpenetrating the housing to make sure

they are tight. There is a slight chance that either could vibrate

loose during travel.

4. Keep the back and port o’ring clean and lightly lubricated. To

lubricate remove the o’ring from the back. Put a small amount

of lkelite lubricant on your fingers. Draw the o’ring through

your fingers to apply a light coating of lubricant. Only apply

enough lubricant to make the o’ring feel slick. DDoo NNoott ssttrreettcchh

tthhee oo’’rriinngg. This light coating of lubricant will help to keep the

o’ring from drying out and will help to show a dark sealing line

when the housing back is properly sealed.

5. Keep the area where the o’ring fits and the sealing surface clean.

6. Rinse the housing exterior thoroughly in fresh water after each

salt water use. Depress push buttons several times during rinse.

Dry with a soft cloth. Dry port to eliminate water spotting.

After several uses in salt water soak the housing in a mild soap

solution, rinse and dry.

Ikelite controls are designed to provide years of reliable service

with minimal maintenance.

1. Push button controls require no maintenance other than rinsing

in fresh water after saltwater use. If a push button control

becomes difficult to push or if it sticks when depressed, soak the

housing in luke warm fresh water. After a few minutes operate

the push button. If this does not correct the problem, return the

housing to Ikelite for maintenance.

2. Some of the controls have long shafts. These controls can be

pulled out, exposing the shaft (see drawing).

To lubricate the control, gently pull on the knob until the

stainless steel shaft is exposed. Lightly lubricate the shaft, then

move the shaft in and out several times. This will lubricate the

x’ring in the Ikelite control gland. This should be done before

using the housing after a prolonged storage period, or once a

week when the housing is in use.
