1. Place housing face down in your
lap or on a flat surface.
2. Check to see that there is an
o-ring on the housing back
and that it is clean and in its
proper location.
3. Guide the back onto the housing.
The o-ring should touch the
housing all the way around.
There should be an even gap all
the way around between the
housing and the housing back.
4. Lift the lid snaps so they are
extended and place the lid
snap into the hook on the
housing back.
5. To close the housing push
down on the lid snaps until
they snap into place . Lid
snaps on opposite sides of the
housing should be closed at the
same time. Be sure they are down
far enough to engage the lock.
D
Doouubbllee cchheecckk - Once the housing is closed, check the o-ring seal.
Check the gap between the housing back and the housing, it
should be even all the way around.
Look through the clear plastic back at the o-ring. You should see
a darkened area 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.
