To prepare the port for installation remove the port o'ring and
lightly lubricate it The port seal is a side to side seal and
requires the o'ring to be lightly lubricated for easy installation
Put a small amount of lubricant on your fingers and draw the
o'ring through your fingers to lightly lubricate it Do not stretch
the o'ring Check that the lip of the port where the o'ring fits
and the sealing surface on the housing are clean Place the port
with o'ring into the housing's port opening Press the port
firmly and evenly into the port opening until you feel the port
slip into place Continue to push down on the port and push
each port lock forward until it clicks into place It may help to
slightly rotate the port as you push in on the port lock When
the port lock clicks into place the Release Button will drop
down against the port lock
Check around the perimeter of the port seal to see that the
o'ring is properly sealed and not extruded

It is recommended that you take the complete system into a
swimming pool before use in open water This will give you a
chance to become familar with the handeling 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
