4. Screw home the pressure release plug; you need not excessively tighten this plug. The seal is
made by the internal O-rings. The O-ring on the underside of the plug is just to keep out dirt and
other debris. The plug is shown in the figure above.
5. Inspect the gasket seal for proper closure. A complete seal can be visually confirmed by looking
for the black line made by the gasket around the complete circumference of the housing.
Note!

ATTACHING THE SYNC CORD

The sync cord is a 6 pin Nikonos type sync cord. The sync cord connects the flash to the camera housing.
Both ends of the cord are identical so either side can be inserted into the flash and camera housings.
When you insert the cord into the port you must exercise caution—the pins inside the cord are delicate and
must not be damaged.
1. Unscrew the port cover cap and store in a safe place. Gently and accurately attach the sync
cord to the port of the flash housing.
2. While securing the position of the sync connector, screw it into the housing using the locking
screw of the sync cord.
If the gasket is in good contact, a thin black line, about 0.5-1mm in width
should be visible where the gasket is in contact with the lid. Follow this line
all the way round the edge of the seal as a final check that the seal is good.
The housing is now ready for the dive.
