Important Notices
»Housings produced after October 1, 2023 (serial
numbers UC68463 and higher) are modied to t the
TG-7 camera. A modication is recommended to use
this newer camera in older housings produced before
its release.
»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.
»Assemble in a cool, dry location. To avoid fogging,
do not open in a humid environment. Dry the housing
completely before opening.
Lanyard Mount
The included lanyard is a break-away safety lanyard which is
designed to break if stress is placed on it. This is important
so that the user can break free if the equipment is caught on
something underwater.
The lanyard is not designed to support the weight of the
housing and should not be used as a carrying strap. Carrying
the housing by the lanyard may result in damage to the
lanyard and/or housing.
A different lanyard with a thin cord may be attached to
the housing using the lanyard mount on the corner of the
housing.

2. The back of the housing will be compressed by pressure
underwater or after air travel. Rotate the latch fully to
break the seal of the housing. Do not use metal objects or
tools to pry the back open.
3. Lift the latch up and away from the housing.
4. Carefully open the housing back.
Installing the Camera
1. Remove any lanyard, neck strap, or accessory attached
to the camera.
2. Place the camera into the front of the housing with the
lens centered in the lens port.
3. Make sure the camera is sitting at in the housing and
ush to the front support ribs.
Closing the Housing
1. Apply a very thin, even layer of lubricant to the exposed
portion of the o-ring and housing sealing surface. Avoid
dry spots or uneven build-up of lubricant.
2. Close and latch the housing back. Press the latch
towards the housing until the lock buttons click into place.
3. Check the latch. The buttons will not be depressed when
the latch is properly locked. Pulling on the latch without
pressing the buttons should not allow the latch to open.
Maintenance
Post-Dive
1. Rinse the housing in fresh water. Rotate the housing
controls and press each button while submerged in fresh
water to ush out any salt or debris to ensure smooth
operation on future dives.
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. Store 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. Remove the camera from the housing for travel or
storage.

fresh water. While submerged, rotate each control and
depress each button to ush out any salt or debris.
4. Remove the housing from water and rinse with running
water.
5. Do not rinse the inside of the housing or submerge the
open housing in water. If the inside of the housing needs
to be cleaned, wipe with a clean, slightly damp cloth.

7. Store in a cool, dry place.
8. Like regulators and other pressure-sensitive equipment,
we recommend careful cleaning along with annual
replacement of the factory seals.
