Maintenance
Lens Port
Treat the surface of the lens port as a camera lens. After use, rinse
and gently dry the outside lens port to avoid water spotting. To clean,
use a mild soap solution or lens cleaner. It is NOT necessary to
remove the Port for cleaning. Do not rinse the inside of the Port. Do
not use alcohol or window cleaner on the Lens Port.
Housing and O-ring Storage
When storing the housing, remove the main housing o-ring. Although
the main housing o-ring does not require lubricant to make a seal, a
light application will
keep the o-ring from drying out and also help to
show a dark sealing line.
Lightly lubricate the o-ring until it appears shiny and place in a small
resealable plastic bag. Use ONLY Ikelite lubricant. Place the bag
inside the housing and store until needed.
Store the housing away from direct sunlight and chemicals.
For extended periods of time, leave the lid snaps open to release
pressure on the lid snap springs.
Lubricant
Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing to lightly lubricate
controls and o-rings. We recommend you use ONLY Ikelite lubricant
on Ikelite products. Other brands may cause Ikelite o-rings to swell
and not seal properly. Lubricant is not a sealant; it is used to reduce
friction. Excessive lubricant can collect sand, hair or debris which may
interfere with proper sealing.
CAUTION: Never use spray lubricants as the propellant
ingredient can cause the plastic housing to crack or o-rings to
swell.
