Final Check

1. Re-check the rear o-ring seal. The seal should form an even, solid
line visible through the back of the housing.
2. Turn on the camera and check all control functions.
3. Make sure that the camera can obtain focus and take a photo. If
using a +4 diopter, your camera will only be able to obtain focus on
subjects at a distance of approximately 12" (0.3m) on the surface.
4. Check camera battery level and available storage space on your
memory card.
5. We strongly recommend drawing a vacuum on the housing to
check for leaks using the optional vacuum pump (sold separately).
