How to set-up the Waterproof Housing
Set up camera
1. Insert fully charged lithium battery into camera.
2. Clean camera lens with dry, clean cotton swab.
3. Remove camera strap since this will prevent the camera from correctly
seating itself inside the housing.
4. Set camera to Sea mode (when not using External Flash accessory) or
External Flash mode (If using External Flash accessory). See page 21
for detailed instructions on how to set camera to Sea or External Flash
modes.
Set up housing
Opening and loading of the housing should be done in a dry environment such as in an
air-conditioned room to prevent trapping moist air in the housing which can cause the
housing to fog while underwater.
1. Open the housing by pushing in small locking tab and lift latch up. Do not
extend housing lid beyond its stop point or damage may occur to the hinge
area.
2. Carefully inspect O-ring for damage and make sure O-ring is firmly seated
in its groove. If O-ring is damaged and requires replacement, contact your
local authorized SeaLife dealer.
3. Clean the housing glass lens port using clean, dry cotton cloth. It is
recommended to apply anti-fog solution to the inside surface of the housing
lens port.
4. Carefully insert camera into housing. Make sure camera is clean and
dry.
5. Insert one Moisture Muncher anti-fog (item #SL911) desicant capsules into
special slot inside housing. As the desiccant absorbs moist air, it turns
from blue to light pink. Replace desiccant capsule when color changes to
light pink.
6. Carefully clean O-ring and O-ring contact surfaces with cleaning brush
provided. O-ring must not be wet when sealing housing, allow these areas
to dry.
