4. Store the housing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
and chemicals.
5. Before using the housing, check the tightness of the set screw in
each control knob. Check each control gland to make sure they are
snug. There is a slight chance that either could vibrate loose during
travel.
Do not leave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for
»
prolonged periods. Heat may damage the camera.
Do not transport with the camera inside of the housing.
»
Do not store the housing in a humid environment. Prolonged
»
exposure to high humidity may damage electronic
components.
Servicing Recommendations
It is recommended that the housing be sent to Ikelite or an authorized
service center annually for routine service and maintenance. Service
may be required more or less frequently depending on care and use.
Lubricating Controls
The housing's controls may need to be lubricated if they become
particularly difficult to use or if the o-rings have dried out during longer
periods of storage.
There will be some breaking force required to move the controls
initially after the housing has been in storage for long periods of time.
Remove controls for lubrication only if they continue to stick after
applying a small amount of lubricant to the exposed portion of the
shafts and working them many times.
Use only Ikelite lubricant. Other types of lubricant may cause
»
swelling of o-rings or cracking of plastic components.
