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
bulkhead for waterproof operation. Never submerge the
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

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
