Insert the exposed end of the fiber optic cable into the small hole of the adaptor unit, starting from
the end that features a screw and pushing it towards the end that features an O-ring (image #17),
until the fiber optic cable reaches the end of the adaptor, which can be verified by looking from the
other side of the Fiber Optic Cable Plate. The fiber optic cable should protrude no more than 1mm
(image #18).
6.
Use the screwdriver included in order to tighten the screw on the adaptor (image #19). Tighten it
enough to stabilize the fiber optic cable inside the adaptor, but don't tighten it too tightly.
Tightening the screw too much might damage the
fiber optic cable.

Once the fiber optic cable has been installed on the
Fiber Optic Cable Plate, install the Fiber Optic Cable
Plate by inserting it inside the dedicated slot on the
housing and pushing it all the way down.

Plate blocks the internal camera flash, so only the
external slave flash illuminates the subject. This

lens port, especially when lens accessories are mounted on the housing.
4. Follow the instructions in your strobe manual on how to synchronize your camera with the external
strobe and to select the proper pre-flash program for your camera. It is recommended to test the
synchronization when photographing opposite a mirror. In this case, the output of both the built-in
camera flash and the strobe should be visible in the test shot taken.
5. When attaching Sea&Sea fiber optic cables to the housing, housing adaptors should first be
removed off the fiber optic cable plate. This can be done by gently pulling them out from the front
side of the plate, using the aid of a small needle nose set of pliers. Make sure not to damage the
