1 . Place housing face down in your lap.

2. Check to see that there is an o'ring

on the housing back that 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.

4. Lift the lid snaps so they are

extended and place the lid snap into

the corresponding 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 lid-snap 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 then close the lid snaps. Visually check the seal

again.
