Port mounting
The AGH5 housing is equipped with a bayonet locking system that firmly attaches compatible
ports and extensions.
STEP 1:
Before mounting the port, remove the O-ring seal from its groove and carefully
verify that the O-ring and its groove are free from scratches or foreign matter.
Lubricate the O-ring with a light coat of silicone grease. Also check that the O-
ring mating surface on the housing is clean and free of any physical damage.
WARNING:
For proper handling of O-rings, follow the detailed instructions outlined in the
O-
rings
section (page 28).
STEP 2:
Place the housing on its back on a soft and steady surface.
STEP 3:
Place the port or extension ring inside the housing bayonet. Align the bayonet using
the four alignment notches in the housing.
STEP 4:
Push with even force on both sides of the port or extension ring until you feel it
snap into place. Make sure the bayonet is completely inside the housing.
STEP 5:
Rotate the port clockwise until it stops.
Do not force it
. If there is too much
resistance, take the port off, check the O-ring and see that the port or extension
ring is properly seated before attempting to rotate it again.
STEP 6:
Confirm that the port or extension ring is safely locked in the housing by gently
trying to rotate it counter-clockwise. The bayonet lock should prevent any
counter-clockwise rotation.
WARNING:
Never attempt to manually focus the camera if it is set to autofocus mode with a
mounted focus gear engaged. This will strain the focus mechanism motor and
might damage your lens.
