Opening the Housing
Lid Snaps have a
Lock
.
To open housing, push Lid Snap
Lock forward and lift as shown.
Keep pressure on the Lid Snap so it
does not fly open quickly.
Some Lid Snaps have a lot of
spring tension once they go over
center, so keep a firm grip on the Lid Snap.
Lid Snaps may be opened one at a time.

Installing the Camera
1. Pull out on each housing control until it stops. This will get the controls
out of the way for installation of the camera.
2. Remove the back from the housing.
3. Remove camera lanyard from camera if attached.
4. The mounting tray for the camera is secured to the housing back.
Position the camera on the tray.
5. When using hardwired external strobes such as the DS51 and DS161,
slide the housing Hotshoe Connector into the Camera Hotshoe Mount,
page 10, diagram A. Slide the connector forward until it stops. This should
be done
before
the camera is secured with the mounting bolt, page 10,
diagram B, otherwise, leave the hotshoe
disconnected
from the camera.
If you are using the built-in flash or a slave strobe and NOT hardwiring
your strobes directly to the housing, leave the housing hotshoe
disconnected
from the camera, otherwise the built-in flash will NOT fire.
You will also need to install the Flash Diffiser (supplied) for the built-in
flash, or the Flash Deflector (supplied) to block and deflect the camera
flash to a slave unit, page 13. Refer to page 11 when using ONLY the
Built-in Camera Flash.
6. Using a coin or screwdriver (preferred), secure the camera with the Tray
Mounting Bolt which threads into the camera’s tripod socket, page 10,
diagram B.
