INSTALLATION
1. Snap the clip, that is, on the end of the
trim ring leash into the hole on the lip of
the back box.
2. If you have a clear dome, position the
dome liner so the slot aligns with the
camera lens.
3. Line up the snaps on the trim ring with
the mounting screws on the back box.
Snap the trim ring into the plastic snap
washers on the mounting screws.
MAINTENANCE
Clean the acrylic dome as necessary to maintain a clear picture. Be careful not to scratch the
surface of the dome.
Exterior Surface – Use a nonabrasive cleaning cloth and cleaning agent that is safe for
acrylic plastic.
Interior Surface (Except Chrome or Gold) – Clean the same as the exterior surface.
Interior Surface (Chrome or Gold) – The inside surface of a chrome or gold dome is eas-
ily scratched. Use the following precautions to maintain the dome’s surface.
1. Always handle the dome from the outside of its circular flange.
2. Never touch the coated inside surface.
3. If dust or other contaminants accumulate, remove the debris with compressed air. Compressed
air cans are available from photographic equipment or electronic supply dealers.
4. If heavy residue accumulates and cannot be removed with air pressure, rinse with water
and immediately dry with air pressure so water spots will not remain. Avoid wiping the
coated surface with direct hand pressure.
5. If internal wiping is necessary, avoid hand rubbing. Instead, make a wick as follows:
Use a very soft paper towel. Roll a section into a tightly wound tube. Tear the tube in half,
and wet the fuzzy end of the wick with a solution of isopropyl alcohol diluted with water.
Hold the dome with its opening facing downward and wipe the interior of the dome with the
wet end of the wick. Use a circular motion, starting from the outside and spiraling into the
center. Use a new wick for each two passes over the dome.
