The white O-ring featured on the backside of the front door should be visually inspected 

prior to each dive. If there is any debris present, gently wipe the area with a soft microfiber 

cloth in order to cleanse it.     

 
FG7X II

 

Housing’s White O-Ring  

The white compression O-ring is located on the perimeter of the black housing.    

Please note that the white O-ring is not symmetrical and should be inserted with its 

rounded edge

 

facing 

inward

 (into its seat) and its 

pointed

 

edge facing 

outward

 or it may affect housing 

functionality. See illustration.  

Attention

: Please 

note that this O-ring does not need to be 

removed or replaced unless it is visibly 

damaged. For regular O-ring maintenance, just 

wipe its surface with a moist cloth while it is 

installed in place.

 

 

 

  

 

 

 
 
 
INSTALLING THE CAMERA  

Since the 

FG7X II Housing 

is specifically designed for the 

Canon G7 X

 

Mark II 

digital camera, installing the 

camera in the housing is quite simple.  

1.

 

Make sure the camera is turned off.   

2.

 

Make sure the housing 

Flash Up Switch

 is rotated all the way counterclockwise (pushed toward

s

 

the front of the housing). Failing to do so with interfere with camera installation inside the 

housing.  

3.

 

Hold the camera parallel to the housing and then gently install it inside (

I

mage #9). Avoid inserting 

one side of the camera prior to the other, as this will make the installation difficult and might 

cause damage to the camera or housing.   

4.

 

Take special care not to touch or damage the Moisture Sensor or Alarm when installing the 

camera. The Sensor is located on the bottom of the housing below where the camera would be 

positioned and the Alarm is located inside the housing on the inner (right) side of the housing 

(Image #10).

It is recommended that you insert a silica gel pack inside the housing (the left side of the camera 

in the slot midway between the two rubber shock absorber mounts or between the bottom of the 

camera and the housing are a convenient locations) in order to prevent moisture accumulation in 

the housing.  It is important to make sure that the silica gel pack doesn’t touch or interfere with 

the watertight seals of the housing.
