Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of a Stingray II video housing.
Please inspect the packaging of your product to verify that there was no
damage during shipping.
If you are not familiar with your camcorder’s features, please take time to
become familiar with the camcorder before you proceed in this manual. This
manual assumes you have a working knowledge of your camcorder and will
only cover operational procedures relative to the underwater housing.
The term “Push” when referenced in this manual means to press and release
in one motion. If a function requires a button to be continually held, the
manual will read, “press and hold”.
Periodically refer to the website for instruction revisions.

Hot Tip Important Caution
Look for these symbols to help identify special information.
Caution - Caution - Caution
We hope you have a wonderful underwater experience with Light & Motion
equipment. To increase your enjoyment and the life span of your new gear
please take an extra minute to review common errors which will result in
equipment damage or destruction.
• Check the operation of all your equipment several weeks prior to your trip.
If maintenance or repair is necessary, then time is available for both shipping
and repair scheduling.
• Never transport or ship the housing with the camcorder inside.
This may damage your camcorder.
• Never leave your housing in the rinse bucket, it may be damaged by other
equipment.
• When removing the camcorder from the housing after a dive, do so in a dry
controlled environment away from other SCUBA related equipment. This
prevents water from other equipment or water from another diver
accidentally entering the housing.
• If a product is flooded, immediately rinse it with fresh water. Most nonelectrical parts will be salvageable if not corroded by salt water
