Important Notices

»This housing requires a compatible DL lens port for waterproof

operation (sold separately). The housing is not waterproof

without a DL lens port attached.

»A bulkhead cap or sync cord must be attached to the housing

housing in water without either a sync cord or bulkhead cap

attached.

»Do not pull the shutter trigger without a camera installed. You

may accidentally detach or damage the control spring.

»Never leave a housing in a rinse tank, even if it is the only

system in the tank. Accidental damage may occur when the

user walks away from a housing while it is in the rinse tank.

»Do not use alcohol, cleaning agents, spray lubricants, Rain-X,

or other solvents on the housing or lens port. Use of an

recommended to draw a vacuum on the housing using the

optional vacuum pump (sold separately).
