Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing We
recommend that you use only Ikelite lubricant as some other
brands may cause the o'ring to swell and not seal properly
Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover control shafts and
o'rings Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean cloth
Lubricant is not a sealant it is used to reduce friction Excessive
lubricant can collect sand and dirt which may interfere with
proper sealing

It is recommended that you take the complete system into a
A A
swimming pool before use in open water This will give you a
chance to become familiar with the handling and operation of
your housing and strobe(s)

The buoyancy of the system will depend on the size and
number of strobes used as well as the weight of the camera
Ideally the system should be slightly negative in the
environment in which it will be used If you need to add weight
to the system an optional lead weight is available To add the
lead weight remove the ( ) screws from the bottom of the
aluminum tray Place the lead weight into the pocket of the
aluminum tray and reattach

While both the Port and Back o'rings should last quite some time
it is best to carry a spare in case one becomes damaged or lost

When the housing is going to be stored for a prolonged period
the exterior of the housing should be soaked in a mild soap
solution rinsed and dried thoroughly Then remove the back and
port from the housing Remove the back and port o'rings lightly
lubricate them and place them in a plastic zip lock bag Place the
plastic bag inside the housing for storage

FLAT PORT
For standard macro and telephoto lenses
Due 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
