ImportantNotices
»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
or component o-rings, which may result in leaking.
»We recommend detaching the port from the housing and
extension during long periods of storage. Attach the included
neoprene covers to protect the dome from dust and impact.
»DO NOT overtighten the Dome Shade Set Screws or you may
damage the shade. Slowly tighten each set screw so it is snug
against the port. Slight movement of the shade is normal after
tightening.

Attaching the Port to a Housing
1. Using your ngers or a hex key, loosen each thumbscrew until at
least 5 threads are visible.
2. Make sure the dome port O-ring Sealing Surface is clean and free
of debris.
3. Clean and lightly lubricate the O-ring. The o-ring needs to be
lubricated evenly until it is slightly shiny. Use Ikelite lubricant ONLY.
Other lubricants can cause the o-ring to swell and not seal properly.
Avoid dry spots or uneven build-up of lubricant.
4. One of the three thumbscrews is positioned in the middle of a
larger projection on the dome shade. Align this thumbscrew with the
top center of the housing’s port mount.

5. The Dome Shade should be aligned and attached as shown. DO
NOT overtighten the Dome Shade Set Screws or you may damage
the shade. Slowly tighten each set screw so it is snug against the
port. Slight movement of the shade is normal after tightening.

Attaching the Port to an Extension
1. Using your ngers or a hex key, loosen each thumbscrew until at
least 5 threads are visible.
2. Make sure the dome port O-ring Sealing Surface is clean and free
of debris.
3. Clean and lightly lubricate the O-ring. The o-ring needs to be
lubricated evenly until it is slightly shiny. Use Ikelite lubricant ONLY.
Other lubricants can cause the o-ring to swell and not seal properly.

5. Tighten each thumbscrew until it stops. DO NOT over-tighten.
6. Attach the complete dome port with extension to your housing.
Final Check
1. Submerge the housing with port attached in a fresh water tank
dedicated to underwater photography equipment.
2. Visually conrm that there are no signs of water intrusion. One sign
of water intrusion is a steady stream of bubbles coming from one of
the housing’s seals.
Maintenance
Post-Dive
1. Rinse the housing with dome port installed in fresh water.
2. NEVER leave your housing in the fresh water rinse tank. Collisions
with other peoples’ gear can cause scratches or damage to your
equipment.
3. Dry the dome with a clean micro ber lens cleaning cloth.
4. Attach the protective neoprene cover.
5. Stow the housing in a shaded place where it is protected from
impact or overheating. If no shade is available, we recommend
covering the housing with a towel or cloth.
Travel and Storage
1. Clean and dry the exterior of the dome port. DO NOT use any type
of glass or surface cleaner on the dome port.
2. Attach the protective front and rear neoprene covers. The neoprene
rear cover prevents dust from getting inside of the dome and is
perfect for storing your hex key, spare o-rings and thumbscrews,
instructions, and other small parts.

3. Store in a cool, dry place.
Scratches
Often scratches will ll in with water and become invisible in the
resulting image. Scratches are most likely to show up in your image
when shooting towards the sun or a light source.
Light scratches may be buffed out using NOVUS plastic polish,
available in single-use packets or bottles.
If the scratches are too deep to polish out, the dome port will need to
be returned to Ikelite for replacement of the acrylic dome.
