Place housing face down in your
lap or on a flat surface
Check to see that there is an
o'ring on the housing back and
that it is clean and in its proper
location
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
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
D D o o u u b b l l e e c c h h e e c c k k 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

Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing We recommend
you use only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products 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

(NOTE:) After you have used the
housing's zoom control it must be
returned to the center position to
disengage If the housing zoom
control is pushing the zoom lever
in either direction you cannot
take a picture or access any other
function as the camera is
receiving a signal from the
engaged zoom control

Treat the glass in the lens port as a camera lens After use rinse
and gently dry the lens port to avoid water spotting To clean
use a mild soap solution or lens cleaner
Do not use alcohol or window cleaner on the Lens Port
The Lens Port will accept ( ) Wide Angle Adapters The Wide
Angle Adapter
which is required to mount the Inon
UWL
AD Bayonet style wide angle lens The Wide Angle
Adapter
is required to mount the following Wide Angle
Lenses Inon UWL
Sea&Sea
screw thread (
mm) style wide angle lenses
These lenses can be secured onto the Wide Angle Adapter
above or below water as they are designed to have water
between the front of the port and the accessory lens Make sure
no air bubbles are trapped between the port and the accessory
lens Any vignetting that occurs can be eliminated by zooming
the camera lens slightly The camera's built in flash cannot be
used with wide angle
lenses The front of the
lenses are so large they
block the camera's flash
To properly light subjects
when using a wide angle
lens an external strobe
should be used Due to
the wide angle of
coverage of these lenses
the DS
Substrobe is
recommended or two
