STEP 7 - Attach Optional M.I.L (MIL) Port
CAUTION:
This housing
does not
come with a lens port. An optional
MIL Port must be properly attached to the housing

water; see
www.ikelite.com
for compatible lens/port combinations.
After purchasing an optional port for your lens, reference your port
instruction manual for proper installation procedure.
Once the Port is properly installed you can test the housing for
watertightness without a camera inside to ensure all housing seals are
working properly.
DO NOT leave the Optional MIL Port off the Port Base for extended
periods of time. This can result in debris being attracted to the Port Base

STEP 8 - Final Check
The clear housing permits instant visual inspection of the camera and
sealing surfaces as well as complete monitoring of controls and camera
LCD screens. This housing has been factory water pressure tested to
200 ft (60 m).
Once the housing is closed, recheck the o-ring seal. Double check the
gap between the housing back and the housing. It should be even all the
way around the housing.
Look through the clear plastic back at the o-ring. You should see a
darkened area or solid black line where the o-ring is compressed against
the housing back. If you do not see an even black compression seal all
the way around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat the housing back and
close the lid snaps. Visually check the seal again.
Usage
Turn the camera on and operate each of the housing controls to get a
feel for using the camera in the housing.
