Installation and Use
Installing the Flat Port
1. Attach the lens to the camera.
2. Remove the vinyl cover from the dome port.
3. Check that the port sealing surface is clean and free of
debris.
4. Apply a very thin, even layer of lubricant to the exposed
portion of the housing's front o-ring and to the lens port
sealing surface. Avoid dry spots or uneven build-up of
lubricant.
5. Loosen the three securing thumbscrews on the port until
they are clear from the inside of the port.
6. Align the port so that one thumbscrew is centered at the
top of the housing.
7. Press the port firmly towards the housing until the
base of the port is almost flush with the housing front. If
there is resistance, remove the port and check that the
thumbscrews are loosened and that the o-ring is properly
lubricated.

thumbscrews. Do not snug or over-tighten.
