Mounting the Camera

 

1.  Remove the monitor back by pushing the Latch Locks in and rotating the latches down  

 

 

and forward of the housing body (Fig. 6).

 

2.  Remove the Camera Tray. The Camera Tray is spring loaded and will slide out of the  

 

 

housing.

 

 

    a. Push forward on the Camera Tray.

 

 

    b. Press the Camera Tray Release Latch down (Fig. 7).

 

 

 

3.  Position the Camera Tray underneath the camera. The camera’s alignment hole  

 

 

(forward of the camera’s threaded hole) should fit over the pin in the camera tray.

 

4.  Use the Mounting Screw to secure the Camera Tray to the camera body. It is   

 

 

important that the screw be snug to prevent the camera from moving.  

 

5.  Open the connector cover to the right of the power switch and plug the end of the  

 

 

yellow cable into the “A/V R” jack.  (Fig. 8)

 

7.  Connect microphone (Fig. 9).

 

8.  On the housing, pull the CAM CTRL knob out and rotate it slightly until it catches in  

 

 

the out position. You need to do this each time the camera is installed or removed  

 

 

from  the housing.

 

9.  Align the front of the Camera Tray with the base of the housing.

 

10.  Slide the Camera Tray forward until the latch engages.

 

11.  Rotate the CAM CTRL dial slightly until it returns to its inner position.

Attaching Monitor Back

 

1.  Release the O-ring holding the battery pack and remove pack from the rear plate.

 

2.  Place four (4) fresh “AA” rechargeable batteries into the holder (note that batteries  

 

 

are not included).

 

3.  Insert the DC power connector into the vertical DC power jack on the monitor

 

 

back. (Fig. 10)

 

4.  Place battery pack into battery holder pocket on the inside of the monitor back and  

 

 

secure into place with the O-ring. (Fig. 11)

 

5.  Next to the DC power header are the “Power” and “Battery Select” switches. Make  

 

 

sure that the “Power” switch is set to the “Battery” and that the “Battery Select”  

 

 

switch is set to “4-cell”. (Fig. 12)

 

6.  Replace the monitor back by aligning the guide pins and connector into the base of the  

 

 

camera tray.

 

7.  Rotate both latches evenly. Ensure that the monitor back is pulled in  straight and that  

 

 

the latches engage and lock.

 

NOTE: Light & Motion recommends using new 2,400 mAh rechargeable NiMH batteries for

 

the Monitor Back. These batteries should be replaced or recharged every second dive.  

 

Alkaline batteries may be used in emergency situations, but may not yield the same life  

 

expectancy as the NiMH batteries.
