Before closing the housing always ensures that:
1. The main O-ring on the front half of the housing is clean, lubricated and properly seated for a positive seal.
2. The sealing surface on the rear half of the housing is clean and free from any scratches or physical damage.
3. All cords or wires are tucked in so that they do not interfere with the closing of the housing.
4. The Function dials Knob on the rear half of housing is pulled out to allow clearance when closing the
housing.
To close the housing simply:
I. Join the front and rear halves of the housing using the two dowel pins at the bottom of the housing as a
guide.
ii. Hold the housing with both hands and look around the sealing surface to ensure that the O-ring remained
properly seated and that no cords, wires or "D-rings" are caught between the edges.
iii. Close the two latches simultaneously. CAUTION: if you feel any resistance as you attempt to close the
latches, do not force the closure. Check for an obstruction and try again.
iv. Verify that the safety locking mechanisms of the latches are properly engaged to avoid any accidental
opening.
LENS INSTALLATION
With the camera inside the housing, install the lens prepared with the gears through the port opening in the front of
the housing. Ensure that the lens mounted gears are properly installed and aligned. Rotate the focus control knobs to
ensure that the gears are properly meshed, do not grind and that their rotation is smooth.
Note: to avoid breaking the auto-focus mechanism of the camera you should set the Focus Control to “M” Manual
before testing the proper meshing of the gears.
CHANGING A LENS (REMOVING A LENS)
The lens mounted gears may restrict the view and ease of access to the lens release button of camera. A stick or a
pencil can be used to push the lens release button on the camera body
