Procedure for O-Ring Maintenance:
1.
Place the lid on a firm non-slip level surface.
2.
The O-ring can be extracted using an O-ring extractor tool (make sure
the tool has no sharp edges). Alternatively use the flat surface of your
thumbs to gently stretch the O-ring on two faces thus making a small
loop protruding a few mm. The loop can then be grasped between finger
and thumb, to pull the O-ring over the lip.
3.
Clean the O-ring recess (the square groove where the O-ring sits) with a
cotton bud.
4.
Inspect the O-ring all the way round its surface for damage such as cuts
tears or contamination. This should be done visually and also by feeling
the surface texture between finger and thumb.
5.
IF THE O-RING IS DAMAGED OR SUSPECTED OF BEING
DAMAGED, DISCARD IT IMMEDIATELY. A spare O-ring is supplied
with your housing, or a replacement O-ring can be obtained from
Fantasea. If the O-ring is contaminated or suspected of being
contaminated, clean it with a cotton cloth that is free of all chemicals or
contamination. After cleaning inspect the O-ring again.
6.
Once the O-ring has been inspected and verified fit for use, apply a
SMALL amount of silicone grease to the O-ring. The silicone grease
must be evenly distributed around the O-ring
7.
Replace the O-ring into the groove; run a finger round the O-ring to
make sure it is snugly seated in the groove.
Mounting The Camera In The Housing
Remove the lens cap and wrist strap:
Make sure the camera lens to body orientation is set so the LCD screen is at top view with lens at
the extended position. The pressure release plug is pulled out before inserting the camera.
Attach the plastic slide plate:
Attach the plastic slide plate to the camera’s tripod mounting fixture with a coin, screw driver or the
end of the universal tool supplied. Take care not to excessively tighten the screw. Slide the camera
into the body along the guide rail inside the bezel. Make sure the camera body is inserted to the
limit and test the function of the
ON
/
OFF
button on the body of the housing.
Note!
If you find that the control levers do not articulate
properly with the camera buttons, please check
again that the camera is properly seated to the
limit of the guide rail.
