How to set-up the Waterproof Housing

Set up camera

1.Insert fully charged lithium battery into camera.

2.Clean camera lens with dry, clean cotton swab.

3.Remove camera strap since this will prevent the camera from correctly seating itself inside the housing.

4.Set camera to Sea mode (when not using External Flash accessory) or External Flash mode (If using External Flash accessory). See page 21 for detailed instructions on how to set camera to Sea or External Flash modes.

Set up housing

Opening and loading of the housing should be done in a dry environment such as in an air-conditioned room to prevent trapping moist air in the housing which can cause the housing to fog while underwater.

1.Open the housing by pushing in small locking tab and lift latch up. Do not extend housing lid beyond its stop point or damage may occur to the hinge area.

2.Carefully inspect O-ring for damage and make sure O-ring is firmly seated in its groove. If O-ring is damaged and requires replacement, contact your local authorized SeaLife dealer.

3.Clean the housing glass lens port using clean, dry cotton cloth. It is recommended to apply anti-fog solution to the inside surface of the housing lens port.

4.Carefully insert camera into housing. Make sure camera is clean and dry.

5.Insert one Moisture Muncher anti-fog (item #SL911) desicant capsules into special slot inside housing. As the desiccant absorbs moist air, it turns from blue to light pink. Replace desiccant capsule when color changes to light pink.

6.Carefully clean O-ring and O-ring contact surfaces with cleaning brush provided. O-ring must not be wet when sealing housing, allow these areas to dry.
