Before installing the camera, pull out on the controls in the front
section of the housing. This will allow the camera to slide in
easier. Once the camera is installed and the lid snaps have been
closed, return the controls to their operating position.

1. Place housing face down in your lap.
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 onto the housing.
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.

. Lift the lid snaps so they are
extended and place the lid snap
into the 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.

- 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.
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.

When mounting the aluminum tray and handles to the housing,
first insert the black bushings in the tray slots. The bushings fit
tightly in the tray slots so they will not fall out when the tray bolts
are removed. Tighten tray bolts so that slots are farthest forward
toward housing front (see illustration).
