Important Notices

»This housing requires a compatible DLM lens port for

waterproof operation. The housing is not waterproof without a

DLM lens port 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

incompatible chemical compound can damage the plastic and

o-rings, and may result in leaking.

»If you will be using the system in strong surf it is

recommended to draw a vacuum on the housing using the

optional vacuum kit (sold separately).
