1. Place housing face down in your
g
housing back
lap.
2. Check to see that there is an
o’ring on the housing back and
that it 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
housing back
into the hook on the housing
back.
5. To close the housing push
down on the lid snaps until

all 4 sides
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 lock.

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

(NOTE:) After you have used the
housing’s zoom control it must be
returned to the center position to
disengage. If the housing zoom
control is pushing the zoom lever
in either direction you cannot
take a picture or access any other
function as the camera is
receiving a signal from the
engaged zoom control.

Turn the camera on and operate each of the housing controls to
get a feel for using the camera in the housing. Take a few
pictures above water with the camera in the housing.
LLuubbrriiccaanntts
s
1. Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend
you use only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products as some other
brands may cause the o’ring to swell and not seal properly.
Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover control shafts and
2.
o’rings. 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 and dirt which may interfere with
proper sealing.
