Remove the back from the housing. The mounting tray for the
camera is secured to the housing back. Position the camera and
lens on the tray, and
then secure it with the
mounting bolt which
threads into the
camera's tripod socket.
Use a flathead screw-
driver (recommended)
or coin to tighten the
mounting bolt so the
camera bottom is flush
against the tray.

1 . Place housing face down in your lap.
2. Check to see that there is an o'ring
on the housing back that is clean
and in its proper location.
3. Guide the back onto the housing.
The o'ring should touch the housing
all the way around. There should
be an even gap all the way around
between the housing and the
housing back.
4. Lift the lid snaps so they are
extended and place the lid snap into
the corresponding hook on the
housing back.
5. To close the housing, push
down on the lid snaps until
they snap into place . Lid
snaps on opposite sides of
the housing should be closed
at the same time. Be sure they
are down far enough to engage
the lid-snap lock.
D D o o u u b b l l e e c c h h e e c c k k - Once the housing is closed, check the o'ring seal.
Check the gap between the housing back and the housing, it
should be even all the way around.
Look through the clear plastic back at the o'ring. You should see a
darkened area where the o'ring is compressed against the
housing back. If you do not see an even black compression seal
all the way around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat the
housing back, and then close the lid snaps. Visually check the seal
again.
