ue to refraction flat ports reduce the angleof coverage of a lens
and at the same time enlarge the image This makes the flat port
ideal when using standard macro or zoom lenses to shoot small
subjects Note that if a port is long enough to accommodate the
full length of a : macro lens the lens may vignette when used at
infinity If access to the lens' full range is desired then select a
dome port instead

 This light coating of lubricant will help to keep the
o’ring from drying out and will help to show a dark sealing line
when the housing back is properly sealed
 Keep the area where the o’ring fits and the sealing surface clean
 Rinse the housing exterior thoroughly in fresh water after each
salt water use Depress push buttons several times during rinse
Dry with a soft cloth Dry port to eliminate water spotting
After several uses in salt water soak the housing in a mild soap
solution rinse and dry

Ikelite controls are designed to provide years of reliable service
with minimal maintenance
 Push button controls require no maintenance other than rinsing
in fresh water after saltwater use If a push button control
becomes difficult to push or if it sticks when depressed soak the
housing in luke warm fresh water After a few minutes operate
the push button If this does not correct the problem return the
housing to Ikelite for maintenance
 Some of the controls have long shafts These controls can be
pulled out exposing the shaft (see drawing)
To lubricate the control gently pull on the knob until the
stainless steel shaft is exposed Lightly lubricate the shaft then
move the shaft in and out several times This will lubricate the
x’ring in the Ikelite control gland This should be done before
using the housing after a prolonged storage period or once a
week when the housing is in use
