4.7 Mounting the flashlight in the housing 

 

Remove the lens cap and wrist strap. The pressure release plug should be pulled out before inserting the camera. Attach 

the  plastic  slide  tray  to  the  camera

¡

s  tripod  mounting  fixture  with  a  coin,  screwdriver  or  the  end  of  the  universal  tool 

supplied (Fig. 5). Take care not to excessively tighten the screw. Slide the camera into the body along the guide rail (Fig. 

6). Make sure the camera body reach the limit and test the function of the on/of button on the body of the housing. Slide 

the  hot  shoe  plug  into  the  hot  shoe  (Fig.  7)  Note:  If  you  find  that  the  buttons  do  not  align  properly  with  the  controls,

Replace the lid (Fig. 8). Remember to ensure the pressure release plug is pulled all the way out while closing, otherwise 

the air cannot escape.  Squeeze the lid  closed all the way with the  hissing  of expelled air. Screw  home (CLOCKWISE) 

the pressure release plug (Fig. 9). There is no need to excessively tighten this plug. The seal is made by internal O-rings. 

The O-ring on the underside of the plug is just to keep out dirt.   

 

After replacing the lid, make a final visual inspection of the main O-ring for contamination (Fig. 10). 

 

Note: If the O-ring is in good contact, a thin black line, 
about  0.5-1mm  in  width  should  be  visible,  where  the 
O-ring is in contact with the lid. Follow this line all the 
way round the edge of the seal, as a final check that the 
seal is good. The housing is now ready for the dive.

   

Important    !!!

 

Before diving, make sure the pressure 

release  plug  is  pushed  back  inside  and  then  screwed 
home, do not over tighten this plug (finger tight only).
