CAMERA PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION
1. Set the Focus Mode Selector to the manual position on both the camera and the housing.
2. Important Note: “D” Clips that attach the strap should be removed or tucked away prior to in-
stalling the camera in the housing.
3. Make sure the ON / OFF /ILLUMINATOR knob (key # 5 ) is in the ON position on both the cam-
era and the housing.
4.On the housing, lift both the Mode / exposure compensation knob and the ISO / WB / QUAL and
rest them in between selection on the pins. Rotate the Release Mode Lock Knob (Key # 16) so the
the wire form inside the housing is in the up position.
5. Remove the saddle from the housing and carefully place the camera on it and ensure the cam-
era is properly installed and aligned as follows:
a) The camera is properly aligned and secured against rotation or movement.
b) Align the Tripod Socket of the camera with the mounting screw. Tighten the mounting screw
securely while ensuring that the camera position is not altered.
d) Conrm that the Lens Lock relese (Key # 36) is lowered in the proper position. Slide the quick
release tray back into place and rotate locking knob clockwise to secure tray into position as per
drawing at right.
6. Once the camera is secure on the saddle inside the front half of the housing, simply slide the
housing’s hot shoe connector onto the hot shoe base of the camera as seen in drawing at right, also
conrm that the lens release lock (Key # 36) is in the right position so that lenses can be interchanged
easily later on.
CLOSING OF THE HOUSING
Before closing the housing always ensure that:
1. The main O-ring on the front half of the housing is clean,lubricated and properly seated for a positive seal.
2. The sealing surface on the rear half of the housing is clean and free from any scratches or physical damage.
3. All cords or wires are tucked in so that they do not interfere with the closing of the housing.
To close the housing simply:
I. Conrm that all controls are positionned properly, the join the front and rear halves of the housing using the two dowel
pins at the bottom of the housing as a guide.
ii. Hold the housing with both hands and look around the sealing surface to ensure that the O-ring remained
properly seated and that no cords, wires or “D-rings” are caught between the edges.
iii. Close the two sides latches simultaneously, reverse the process to open housing
CAUTION: if you feel any resistance as you attempt to close the latches, do not force the closure. Check for an
obstruction and try again.
iv. Verify that the safety locking mechanisms of the latches are properly engaged to avoid any accidental opening.
