Ikelite controls are designed to provide years of reliable service with
minimal maintenance.
- Push button controls normally require no maintenance other than rinsing
in freshwater after saltwater use. Depress each push button in fresh
water several times to eliminate trapped saltwater. If a push button
control becomes difficult to push or if it sticks when depressed, soak the
housing in luke warm fresh water. After a few minutes, operate the push
button. If this does not correct the problem, return the housing to Ikelite
for maintenance. If you are on a trip and unable to return the housing
immediately, a push button may be lubricated by pressing and holding
the push button all the way in. Then, use your finger or other small
non-metal object to place a small amount of lube at the base of the shaft
inside the housing. Press and release the push button several times until
the lube is worked up into the o-ring.
After completing this procedure, close
the housing and submerge it in water
without the camera i nside. Check the
control for watertightness.
