CCOOLLOORR FFIILLTTEERR

The installation and usage of the external UR/Pro

color filter is described in the general instruction manual.

LLEENNSS SSHHAADDEE

The internal lens shade helps block light reflection/
refraction caused by the interaction of the external color
filter and the port.

Carefully thread the lens shade on the front of the
camera lens. The lens threads are very fine;
very easily. If it is difficult to turn, you are cross threading.

Completely thread the lens shade into the camera to avoid any potential
clearance or sealing problems when the camera is installed and the housing is sealed.

The camera's LCD monitor can be viewed from the rear of the housing, using the
external mirror featured on the side of the housing.

the side of the camera. The external mirror is hinged so that it can be opened to reflect
the image from the camera's LCD monitor for viewing from the rear of the housing.

During transportation, please remember to close the mirror by pressing it against
the rubber on the lid snap.

The image reversing circuit is mounted inside the housing. The circuit reverses
(flips) the image and words on the LCD screen so that when the image is reflected
in the external mirror, it appears correct left-to-right.

Secure the camera to the tray and partially slide the camera and tray inside the
housing so you can then connect the cable from the reversing circuit to the Remote
port on the camera. The reversing circuit will automatically turn ON when connected
to the camera and the camera is ON; the image and words in the LCD screen will
appear in reverse.

OOnn//OOffff SSwwiittcchh

An on/off switch is featured on the reversing circuit. Use the reversing circuit
control on the housing to access the on/off switch on the circuit. The circuit will
automatically turn ON when connected to the camera and the camera is ON.

When turning the camera OFF, there is a 5-minute standby power down delay
on the camera that occurs when the reversing circuit is ON during power down.
Therefore to avoid the 5-minute power down delay, turn the camera OFF and also
turn the circuit OFF to power down the camera immediately.

FFuunnccttiioonnss LLoocckkeedd OOuutt

When the reversing circuit is ON, some camera functions may be locked out. To
correct for such a problem, temporarily turn the circuit OFF, change the function on
the camera, and then turn the circuit back ON.
The camera’s Microphone is also disabled when the reversing circuit is on.

The camera mounts to the tray, which extends from the back plate

of the housing.

Position the camera against the two
stabilizing pins on the tray and secure with
the camera mounting bolt. The camera
should fit easily on the tray and should
be parallel with the sides of the tray.

Make certain that the lens shade has been
threaded completely into the camera to avoid
any potential clearance or sealing problems when
the camera is installed and the housing is sealed.

Check that the o’ring is clean and properly positioned on the lip of the clear
housing back plate. Check that the lens shade is completely threaded into the camera.

Once the camera is mounted to the tray as shown above, pull the housing
controls out to provide clearance for installing the camera. Partially slide the camera
into the housing so you can connect the reversing circuit cable to the Remote port
on the camera. Make sure the lens shade on the front of the camera fits into the
port recess in the front of the housing.
