The Ikelite Digital Housing should be given the same care and
attention as your other photographic equipment In addition to
normal maintenance we recommend that the housing be returned
to Ikelite periodically to be checked and pressure tested
D Doo N Noott leave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for
prolonged periods Heat may damage the camera
D Doo N Noott ship the camera in the housing
Before using the housing always check the tightness of the sseett
ssccrreew w in each control knob
Check each ccoonnttrrooll ggllaanndd penetrating the housing to make sure
they are tight There is a slight chance that either could vibrate
loose during travel
Keep the back o’ring clean and lightly lubricated To lubricate
remove the o’ring from the back Put a small amount of lkelite
lubricant on your fingers Draw the o’ring through your fingers
to apply a light coating of lubricant Only apply enough
lubricant to make the o’ring feel slick D Doo N Noott ssttrreettcchh tthhee oo’’rriinngg
This light coating of lubricant will help to keep the o’ring from
drying out and will help to show a dark sealing line when the
housing back is properly sealed
Keep the area where the o’ring fits and the sealing surface of
the housing clean
Rinse the housing exterior thoroughly in fresh water after each
salt water use Dry with a soft cloth Dry lens port to eliminate
water spotting
After several uses in salt water soak the housing exterior in a
mild soap solution rinse and dry before storage When storing
the housing remove the back o’ring lightly lubricate and place
in a plastic bag Place the plastic bag with o’ring inside the
housing for safe keeping

Ikelite controls are designed to provide years of reliable service
with minimal maintenance
Push button controls require no maintenance other than rinsing
in fresh water after saltwater use 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
Some of the controls have long shafts These controls can be
pulled out exposing the shaft (see drawing)
To lubricate the control gently pull on the knob until the
stainless steel shaft is exposed Lightly lubricate the shaft then
move the shaft in and out several times This will lubricate the
x’ring in the Ikelite control gland This should be done before
using the housing after a prolonged storage period or once a
week when the housing is in use
