Opening The Housing; Installing The Camera - Ikelite 6165.01 Instruction Manual

Opening the Housing

Lid Snaps have a Lock. To open housing, push Lid Snap Lock forward
and lift as shown. Keep pressure on the
Lid Snap so it does not fly open quickly.
Some lid snaps have a lot of spring tension once
they go over center, so keep a firm grip on the lid
snap. Lid Snaps may be opened one at a time.

Installing the Camera

1. Remove any lanyard attached to the camera.
2. Remove the back from the housing.
3. Pull up on the top housing control knobs until they stop. This will get the
controls out of the way for installation of the camera.
4. The mounting tray for the camera is secured to the housing back.
Position the camera on the tray.
5. Using a coin or screwdriver (preferred), secure the camera with the Tray
Mounting Bolt which threads into the camera's tripod socket, Diagram A,
below.

and not contacting camera.
