Step 5 - Closing The Housing; Step 6 - Attach Optional Mirrorless Lens Ports - Ikelite 6973.03 Instruction Manual

STEP 5 - Closing the Housing

1. Place housing face down in your
lap. Check to see that there is an
o-ring on the housing back, and
that it is clean and in its proper
location.
2. Guide the back onto the housing
front. Make sure the hotshoe wire
is out of the way. Once the back
is properly installed, the o-ring
should touch the housing all the
way around. There should be an even gap on each side of the housing
between the housing and the back.
3. Lift the lid snaps so they are extended and place each lid snap into the
corresponding hook on the housing back.
4. To close the housing, push down on the opposing lid snaps
simultaneously until they snap into place. Be sure they are down far
enough to engage the lock - Page 9. The o-ring seal should now appear
as a solid black line from the back of the housing.

STEP 6 - Attach Optional Mirrorless Lens Ports

CAUTION: This housing does not come with a lens port. An optional
Mirrorless Lens Port must be properly attached to the housing before
submersion in water; see ikelite.com for compatible lens/port
combinations. After purchasing an optional port for your lens, reference
your port instruction manual for proper installation procedure.
Once the Port is properly installed, you can test the housing for
watertightness without a camera inside to ensure all housing seals are
working properly.
DO NOT leave the Optional Lens Port off the Port Base for extended
periods of time. This can result in debris being attracted to the Port Base
O-ring, Diagram C, page 11, resulting in a bad seal.
