DOME REPLACEMENT

1. Rotate the liner inside the dome, so that when the dome is

secured to the base, the camera lens is in the center of the

viewing slot of the liner.
NOTE: It may be helpful to install the dome without the liner
the first time. This way you can visually determine
which direction the lens is pointing and adjust the liner
opening accordingly.

2. Align and insert the three tabs of the dome with the three tab

slots on the dome base. Rotate the dome clockwise until the

dome locks into place.
