Important Notices

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

system in the tank. The vast majority of catastrophic oods

happen when the user walks away from a housing while it is in

the rinse tank.

»To prevent salt build-up and sticking controls, submerge the

empty housing in clean, freshwater. Operate the controls

several times each while underwater to ush out any residue.

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

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

incompatible chemical compound can damage the plastic and

o-rings, and may result in leaking.

Accessory Port

Your housing features one 1/2-20 threaded Accessory Port which

may be used for attachment of factory optional or aftermarket housing

accessories. Visit ikelite.com for an updated list of factory optional

accessories.

Use the following steps to replace an Accessory Port Hole Plug with

an accessory tting:

1. Remove the Hole Plug using an 11/16 inch open end wrench.

2. Check the accessory tting o-ring sealing area. If an o-ring is

not present, use the Hole Plug o-ring. Lightly lubricate o-ring with

Ikelite Lubricant. Use ONLY Ikelite lubricant. Other manufacturer

lubricants can cause the o-ring to swell. Check o-ring and o-ring

sealing area. Both should be clean and free of hair, sand, or other

debris.

3. Carefully screw in and tighten accessory tting. The accessory port

features a 1/2-20 threaded hole. Make sure your tting is the same

thread pattern. DO NOT cross-thread. DO NOT overtighten.

NOTICE: Your Ikelite housing warranty DOES NOT extend to

cover the attachment of aftermarket housing accessories by 3rd

parties. Warranty DOES cover factory optional accessories attached

by certied Ikelite service technicians.

Setting Up Your Housing

Opening the Housing

1. Push the lid snap lock forward and start to lift the curved end away

from the housing.

2. Lid snaps are designed to provide enough force to compress the

o-ring for a proper seal. Keep rm pressure against the lid snap

while lifting it away.

3. Repeat with remaining lid snaps.

4. Remove the housing back.

Inserting the Camera

RX100 III IMPORTANT NOTE: If using the Sony RX100 III model

camera, add the small 1/16” thick rubber washer (included in box) to

the rear housing dial. Remove the adhesive backing on the washer

before application.

1. Remove any lanyard or neck strap which may be attached to the

camera.

2. Remove the camera mounting plate from the housing.

3. Line the mounting screw up with the camera’s tripod socket. Use

a coin or at head screwdriver to tighten the mounting plate to the

4. Pull out on the housing control knobs to move them out of the way.

5. Insert the mounting plate into the slot on the inside bottom of the

housing. Push the camera all of the way forward until the back of

the mounting plate is ush with the back of the housing mount.

6. RAISE the ash, if using! Once the camera is closed in the

housing, the ash CANNOT be raised. DO NOT raise the ash

BEFORE placing the camera in the housing.

Closing the Housing

1. Make sure the o-ring is clean and in its proper location on the back

of the housing. The main o-ring does not require lubricant to make

a seal.

2. Place the back onto the housing front.

3. Make sure no controls or wires are interfering with the o-ring or the

back of the housing.
