5. Installing the camera
When installing the camera into the housing, make sure you have a clean, flat
and large enough surface at your disposal. Avoid carrying out the installation in
a windy, sandy or moist environment.
Make sure the camera battery is fully charged and the memory card has been
emptied (if required). Remove the camera strap and any lens mounted to the
camera (if applicable). Make sure the bayonet catch of the camera body is
equipped with a dust cap. Open the housing with the supplied allen key.
Prior to mounting the camera in the housing, check the function and battery
status of the HugyCheck system and leakage alarm. The HugyCheck system is
located at the bottom of the camera support. Make sure a CR123 Lithium bat-
tery is installed correctly. Pushing and holding the switch on the HugyCheck
system to the right will activate the battery test mode. If the LED turns green,
the battery is OK. If the LED turns red, the battery does not have enough power
left and needs to be replaced. By pushing the switch to the left, the HugyCheck
system is activated.
Activate the HugyCheck system prior to closing the hou sing.
Make sure the hot shoe connector is remo
ved from the housing dust cap (velcro) and is
placed outside of the housing.
