Installing the Camera

1. Pull out on each housing control until it stops. This will get the controls out of the way for installing the camera.

2. 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 using a coin or screwdriver (preferred), secure it with the mounting bolt which threads into the camera’s tripod socket.

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.

3.RAISE the camera flash. This must be done before closing the housing.

Closing the Housing

1. Place housing face down in your lap or on 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

location.

3. Guide the back into the housing

front. 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 housing back.

4. Lift the lid snaps so they are extended and place each lid snap into the corresponding hook on the housing back.

5. 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 the housing.

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.
