Important Notices

» This housing requires a compatible Lens Port for waterproof

operation. The housing is not waterproof without a Lens Port

attached.

» To prevent salt build-up and sticking controls, submerge the

empty housing in clean, freshwater. Operate the controls

several times each while underwater to ush out any residue.

» Never leave a housing in a rinse tank, even if it is the only

system in the tank. Most catastrophic oods happen when the

user walks away from a housing while it is in the rinse tank.

» Do not use alcohol, cleaning agents, spray lubricants, Rain-X,

or other solvents on the housing or lens port. Use of an

incompatible chemical compound can damage the plastic and

o-rings, and may result in leaking.

Accessory Port

» Do not remove the Accessory Port Hole Plug unless you are

installing a compatible accessory.

Your housing features two 1/2-20 threaded Accessory Port which may

be used for attachment of factory optional or aftermarket housing

accessories. Visit ikelite.com for an updated list of factory optional

accessories.
