Important Notices
»This housing requires a compatible Lens Port for waterproof
operation. The housing is not waterproof without a Lens Port
attached.
»A bulkhead cap or sync cord must be attached to the housing
for waterproof operation. Never submerge the housing without
either a sync cord or waterproof bulkhead cap attached.
»To prevent salt build-up and sticking controls, turn the camera
off and submerge the sealed housing in clean, freshwater.
Operate the controls several times each while underwater to
ush out any residue.
»Never leave a housing in a rinse tank, even if it is the only
system in the tank. Most catastrophic oods happen 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.

Accessory Port
Hole Plug
Installing an Accessory via the Accessory Port
1. Remove the Hole Plug using an 11/16” open end wrench.
2. Check the accessory tting o-ring sealing area. Check o-ring and
housing o-ring sealing area. All should be clean and free of hair,
sand, or other debris.
3. Lightly lubricate o-ring with Ikelite lubricant. Use ONLY Ikelite
lubricant. Other manufacturer lubricants can cause the o-ring to
swell.
4. 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.
5. After installing an accessory, pressure test the housing by diving
without a camera inside.
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.
»Do not remove the Accessory Port Hole Plug unless you are
installing a compatible accessory.
