Closing the Housing
Carefully inspect
o-ring on back half and the sealing surface on front half. Make
sure they are clean and in good condition.
Place back half onto the front housing half.
You will clearly see when the
housing halves align and seat together properly.
Locate and close
the two latches at the same time.
CAUTION
:
The safety latches must be closed and locked prior to use to avoid
opening underwater. It is your responsibility to make sure the latches are secure,
locked, and in good condition. DO NOT enter the water with a faulty latch. Gates
will replace a damaged or faulty latch free of charge.
Carefully inspect the parting line
between front and rear housing. If this line is
not even all the way around, remove the back and determine the reason. (O-ring
out of place, hand strap interference, etc.) Failure To Do This May Result In A Wet
Camera!
Press controls in until they touch camera buttons.
Note positioning of each
control as it touches the camera button/switch it is designed to actuate.
(See
Section 4)
Power up the camera.
Check all controls for the proper operation before entering
water. (See section 4)
Check the Port.
It should be seated flush on the front bulkhead with no uneven
gaps. If the port is not seated properly, remove the port and re-install per directions
in a subsequent section of this document. Also check that the dot or indent on the
port is aligned with the dot on the housing.
Mate the shells and close the two
latches. The shells should mate
without obstruction.
Note: HF-S21 housing shown.
Once closed, check the
parting line for gaps.
