MAINTENANCE

Lens Port
After use, rinse and gently dry the outside lens port with a non-
abrasive cloth to avoid water spotting. Do not rinse inside the Port. To
clean, use a mild soap solution or lens cleaner. It is NOT necessary to
remove the Port for cleaning.
CAUTION: DO NOT use Rain-X, alcohol, window cleaner, or
any other cleaning solution on the Lens Port.
Lubricant
Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend
you use only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products. Other brands may
cause o-rings to swell and not seal properly.
Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover the Port Base O-ring, or
lubricate a sticky control. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean
cloth. Lubricant is not a sealant; it is used to reduce friction. Excessive
lubricant can collect sand, hair and dirt which may interfere with proper
sealing.
CAUTION: Never use spray lubricants as the propellant
ingredient can cause the plastic housing to crack or o-rings to
swell. Use Ikelite lubricant only.
Housing Maintenance
Your Ikelite Digital Housing should be given the same care and
attention as your other photographic and video equipment. In addition
to normal maintenance, we recommend that the housing be returned
to Ikelite periodically to be checked and pressure tested.
