CLOSING THE HOUSING
1. Turn the latch dial so that the small red tab located on the latch is pointed towards the front side
of the housing (image #32).
2. Carefully close the back door of the housing, pushing it against the front door, while making sure
there is nothing sticking out of the housing or impairing the smooth closure of the back door.
Then firmly press the back door against the forward section of the housing.
3. Turn the secure dial clockwise till the lock dial clicks. The small red tab should then be pointed
towards the bottom of the housing (image #33).
4. Gently try pulling the back door away from the front door. If the housing is properly closed, it should
be impossible to open the back door.

5. Visually inspect the black O‐ring through the transparent back door for proper closure. Make
sure it isn't twisted or out of the groove and that no foreign matter has been caught in the seal,
such as secure lines, sand, grit, hairs or any other foreign substance.
6. Test housing control buttons to make sure that the camera was properly installed inside the
housing and that nothing interferes with normal operation of the camera. It is recommended to
take a few images once the camera has been installed inside the housing and prior to the dive in
order to ensure proper operation.
7. Prior to diving with the housing, submerge it in a shallow tub of water or rinse tank. Carefully look at
the housing to make sure no bubbles are escaping from it, no water is entering and the moisture
alarm (if installed inside the housing) doesn't beep.
8. If a Vacuum Safety System is installed inside the housing, perform a pre‐dive check to confirm the
watertight seal of the housing. See "Hybrid Vacuum Safety System" section for further instructions.
