Closing the Housing

1.  

Make sure the o-ring is clean and in its proper location on the back 

of the housing. The main o-ring does not require lubricant to make 
a seal. 

2.  

Place the back onto the housing front. 

3.  

Make sure no controls or wires are interfering with the o-ring or the 

back of the housing.

4.  

Place each lid snap into the corresponding hook on the housing 

back.

5.  

Push the lid snaps towards the housing until they are flat against 

the housing and the lock has engaged. Close opposing lid snaps at 
the same time.

6.  

Check the o-ring seal. The o-ring should form a uniform, solid line 

around the back of the housing.

Final Check

1.  

Re-check the o-ring seal. The seal should form an even, solid line 

around the back of the housing. 

2.  

Turn on the camera and check all control functions.

3.  

Make sure that the camera can obtain focus and take a photo.

4.  

Check battery life and open storage space on your memory card.

5.  

When using strobes, check that the flash is raised.

6.  

Submerge the housing in a fresh water tank dedicated to 

underwater photography equipment. Visually confirm that there are 
no signs of water intrusion or a steady stream of bubbles coming 
from one of the housing seals.
