 Mounting the camera in the housing:

Remove the lens cap and wrist strap. The pressure release plug should be pulled out before inserting 

the camera. Attach the plastic slide tray to the camera

¡

s tripod mounting fixture with a coin, screwdriver or the 

end of the universal tool supplied (Fig. 5). Take care not to excessively tighten the screw. Slide the camera into 

the body along the guide rail (Fig. 6). Make sure the camera body reach the limit and test the function of the 

on/of button on the body of the housing. Slide the hot shoe plug into the hot shoe (Fig. 7) Note: If you find that 
the buttons do not align properly with the controls, please check again that the camera is properly seated to 
the limit of the guide rail.

Replace the lid (Fig. 8). Remember 

to ensure the pressure release plug 
is pulled all the way out while 
closing, otherwise the air cannot 

escape. Squeeze the lid closed all 
the way with the hissing of expelled 

air. Screw home 

(CLOCKWISE)

the pressure release plug (Fig. 9). 
There is no need to excessively 

tighten this plug. The seal is made 

by internal O-rings. The O-ring on the underside of the plug is just to keep out dirt.

After replacing the lid, make a final visual inspection of the main 

O-ring for contamination (Fig. 10).

Note: If the O-ring is in good contact, a thin black line, 
about 0.5 to 1mm in width should be visible, where the 

O-ring is in contact with the lid. Follow this line all the 

way round the edge of the seal, as a final check that the 
seal is good. The housing is now ready for the dive.

Important !!! 

Before diving, make sure the pressure 

release plug is pushed back inside and then screwed 

home, do not over tighten this plug (finger tight only).
