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).

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
3.	proper 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		housing
	the way around between the
4.	housing and the housing back.
	Lift the lid snaps so they are
	extended and place the lid			housing back
	snap 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.
