Installing the Camera

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

2. ROTATE the Mode Dial Wheel (Control “H” - page 4, Diagram A - page 6) so the flat non-serated flat section is facing away from the camera as shown. This must be done before installing or removing the housing back.

3. Remove the back from the housing.

4. The mounting tray for the camera is secured to the housing back. Position the camera on the tray.

5. Using a coin or screwdriver (preferred), secure the camera with the mounting bolt which threads into the camera’s tripod socket (Diagram A).

Closing the Housing

1. Place housing face down in your 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 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

Checking Controls

Once the housing has been closed, make sure the housing controls line up with the corresponding camera controls. If the housing controls are misaligned slightly, make sure the camera hold down bolt has been tightened down firmly so the camera is flat against the tray.

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.

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 sealagain.

Zoom Control

(NOTE:) After you have used the housing's zoom control, it must be returned to the center position to disengage. If the housing zoom control is pushing the zoom lever in either direction, you may not be able to take a picture or access any other function because the camera is receiving a signal from the engaged zoom control.
