9.
Tighten all three thumbscrews while holding the port
firmly towards the housing. The thumbscrews should
thread in completely until the head touches the port. If the
screws are difficult to turn and/or they bottom out before
their heads are flush, it is an indication that the port is not
pushed far enough down on the housing.
The port must be fully seated onto the housing for
»
waterproof operation. There should only be a very thin,
even gap of approximately 0.15" (4mm) between the
bottom of the port and the front of the housing.
Testing the Housing
1.
Assemble the housing without a camera installed.
Submerge the housing in fresh water for several minutes.
2.
3.
Remove the housing from water and dry the outside of the
housing with a clean, lint-free cloth.
4.
Look through the back of the housing for signs that water
has entered the housing. Signs include fogging or water
droplets.
5.
We recommend making at least one dive without a
camera installed to ensure waterproof operation.
Maintenance and Storage
Post-Dive
1.
Rinse the housing with dome port installed in clean, fresh
water.
2.
Never leave your housing in the fresh water rinse tank.
Collisions with other gear can cause scratches or damage
to your equipment.
3.
Dry the dome with a clean micro fiber lens cleaning cloth.
4.
Attach the protective neoprene cover.
5.
Stow the housing in a shaded place where it is protected
from impact or overheating. If no shade is available, we
recommend covering the housing with a towel or cloth.
Travel and Storage
1.
Clean and dry the exterior of the dome port. Do not use
any type of alcohol or glass or surface cleaner on the
dome port.
2.
Attach the protective neoprene cover.
3.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Scratches
Often scratches will fill in with water and become invisible in
the resulting image. Scratches are most likely to show up in
your image when shooting towards the sun or a light source.
Light scratches may be buffed out using NOVUS plastic
polish, available in single-use packets or bottles.
If the scratches are too deep to polish out, the dome port will
need to be returned to Ikelite for replacement of the acrylic
front.
