Entering the Water
1. As soon as you enter the water, take a moment and check the
housing to see that it is properly sealed.
2. Next, check to see if there are any bubbles on the face of the lens port.
If there are, take your finger and remove them. If there are bubbles on
the lens port they can produce soft focus spots in your photos or video.
Treat the glass or acrylic in the lens port as a camera lens. After use,
rinse and gently dry the lens port to avoid water spotting. To clean, use
a mild soap solution or lens cleaner.
Do not use alcohol or window cleaner on the Lens Port.
Maintenance
Lubricant
-
Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend you use
only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products. Other brands may cause the main
housing o-ring to swell and not seal properly.
-
Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover the main housing o-ring or
lubricate a sticky control. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean
cloth. Lubricant is not a sealant, it is used to reduce friction. Excessive
lubricant can collect sand and dirt which may interfere with proper
sealing.
CAUTION:
Never use spray lubricants as the propellant ingredient can cause
the plastic housing to crack or o-rings to swell.
