1. Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend
you use only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products as some other
brands may cause the o'ring to swell and not seal properly.
2. Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover control shafts and
o'rings. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean cloth.
Lubricant is not a sealant, it is used to reduce friction. Excessive
lubricant can collect sand and dirt which may interfere with
proper sealing.

Once the housing has been closed, make sure the housing
controls line up with the camera's controls. If the housing
controls are misaligned slightly make sure the camera hold
down bolt has been tightened down firmly so the camera
is flat against the tray.

Turn the camera on and operate each of the housing controls
to get a feel for using the camera in the housing. Take a few

Treat the glass in the lens port as a camera lens. After use, rinse
and gently dry the lens port to avoid water spotting. To clean
use a mild soap solution or lens cleaner.
Do not use alcohol or window cleaner on the Lens Port.
The Lens Port will accept (2) Wide-Angle Adapters. The Wide-
Angle Adapter #9306.80 which is required to mount the Inon
UWL-150AD Bayonet style wide-angle lens. The Wide-Angle
Adapter #9306.81 is required to mount the #6420 Ikelite W-20
Wide-Angle Lens and other manufacturers (67mm) screw
thread style wide-angle lenses.
These lenses can be secured onto the Wide-Angle Adapter
above or below water as they are designed to have water
between the front of the port and the accessory lens. Make sure
no air bubbles are trapped between the port and the accessory
lens. Any vignetting that occurs can be eliminated by zooming
the camera lens slightly. The camera's built-in flash cannot be
used with wide angle
lenses. The front of the
lenses are so large they
block the camera's flash.
To properly light subjects
when using a wide angle
lens an external strobe
should be used. Due to
the wide-angle of
coverage of these lenses,
the DS125 Substrobe is
recommended or two
DS51 Substrobes.
