PRECAUTIONS
1. A water-tight test without the camera inside the housing is highly
recommended when using the system for the rst time and after the
changing of port and O-ring(s).
2. O-rings should be kept clean and lubricated at all times. Discontinue
use immediately should you notice any leakage.Do not use lubricants
from other brands with the silicone rubber O-rings on this housing,
only use the lubricant provided by ISOTTA.
After checking the O-rings to make sure that there are no scratches,
dust, or debris, apply a light coating of silicone grease to the entire
O-rings with your nger.
Applying too much grease will make it easier for dust and debris to
adhere to the O-rings, and could cause ooding.
3. When tting the O-rings into the O-rings groove, insert it straight into
the groove;do not bend or twist it.
4. Store the housing in a robust, shock-proof container during
transportation; avoid transporting with any equipment, such as a
camera, inside the housing, to avoid breakages.
5. Do not open the housing in a sandy environment.
Protect the interior from moisture and debris in order to prevent
malfunction or leakage.
6. Do not store the housing in an environment of high humidity.
7. Do not leave the housing and the camera in direct sunlight for prolonged
periods.
8.
Do not store the housing in high temperature environment as in the car
cockpit under the sun.
9. Keep out of reach of children.
10. Always dry the front port, the lens, the ash window or the nder
using a soft cloth to prevent stain or salt residue from marring
the glass surface. Do not use solvent or alcohol to clean the port,
viewnder or LCD window.

10
11. When not in use the case for long time O-rings should be removed
and stored separately. Replace the O-rings once a year for a secure
watertight. Use only Isotta O-rings.
12. Rinse the product with sweet water, after underwater use.
Ensure that the product is waterproofed before rinsing.
Storage of the housing is possible only after cleaning and drying its
surface.
13. Unauthorized disassembling and/or modication could result in
malfunction or ooding and void product warranty.
Take the product to a ISOTTA authorized reseller for repair or inspection.
The housing is possible only after cleaning and drying its surface.
QUICK START GUIDE
1. REMOVE THE BACK FROM THE FRONT
Apply a slight upward pull to the locking knob and rotate anti-
clockwise until the pin is visible. Slightly lift the Back until it comes
out from the guide pin on the knob. Remove the Back slantwise,
paying attention to the two pins on the opposite side.
2. INSTALLING THE CAMERA
Slide the camera directly into the interior of the housing.
3. CLOSE THE BACK.
Make sure that there aren’t any obstructions that block a correct
housing closure. Check that the O-rings seals are in place, intact,
clean and properly lubricated.
Insert the two lower pins of the bottom in the specic slot.
Insert the pin in the guide of the closing knob.
While applying a gentle pressure on the back of the housing,turn the
knob until the closure is complete and snap the safety by pressing it
slightly down. It is also recommended to check the correct positioning
of the O-rings in their slots.

11
PARTS OF THE HOUSING
The housing front accomodates the camera. All camera controls are
external and are laser-engraved with the symbols for the camera functions.
To better understand the functioning of all controls we invite to read the
camera’s manual carefully.
On the window sides (or central) there are two threaded holes where
one or two external strobes can be connected by optical ber using the
adaptor included.
The bottom of the housing features 3 different threaded holes: two M6
holes located on the sides and one central one of ¼ W.
In this way it is possible to use different accessories such as brackets for
strobes or tripods.
Internally, the camera can be inserted through the two integrated guides
and it will remain steady thanks to the 4 internal plastic supports that
block the camera when the housing is closed.
The back door features all key/main camera controls by means of clearly
labelled laser-engraved longlasting buttons. It is fundamental to apply
the necessary care when handling it.
In the center there is a large window for a ne camera display view.
Above the window of the back door there is a leaking acoustic LED alarm.
This component acts as an alarm in case of moisture inside the housing.
An internal sensor will turn on the LED red:in the event that this happens
consult the section TROUBLESHOOTING (p.28).
Both LED and audible sensor are powered by an internal battery that is
replaceable by the user.
The back of the housing is entirely detached from the front body to
make easier the camera tting. To separate the Back from the housing is
necessary to rst disable the safety.

MOUNTING THE PORT
Included with the case is provided a at port in tempered glass that,
depending on the camera model you choose and his lens, can be xed
or removable.
Recognize which kind of port you need for your camera is simple. It is
sufcient to check if there is a lock in the camera lens.
In the event that the camera foresaw a housing with removable lens, the
following instructions will enable you to use this feature optimally.
The port is inserted and removed by means of a bayonet mount and the
housing is provided with a secure lock for a optimal sealing.
To perform the insertion and desinsertion of the port is necessary to
support the housing with the back placed on a hard surface and make
sure you have a good grip on it.
To remove it is sufcient unlock the safe lock by applying a gentle
traction to the outside and unscrew the port counter-clockwise until the
alignment of the markers placed on both sides and remove it.
Each time you do this it is necessary to pay particular attention to the
o-ring present on the extracted part that must be kept clean, undamaged
and properly lubricated.
To mount it just place the port at the front housing aligning the two
marks, apply a gentle pressure to match up the ends of the two devices
and screw it clockwise while maintaining the pressure until it reaches
a complete closure, recognizable thanks to the snap of the secure lock.
At this point the port is properly installed and you can proceed with the
placement of the camera and the closing of the housing.
The round ports, which are xed or removable, ends with an M67 thread,
this thread in the porthole allow to use additional lenses and other
accessories with this kind of thread.
The use of these accessories is also possible with the rectangular
portholes with the purchasing an optional adapter.
All portholes provided are designed to accommodate the opal diffuser for
better light propagation and for a proper use of the built-in strobe.

NOTEWORTHY
OPENING AND LOCKING THE HOUSING
1. The housing can be opened and closed by operating with only one
hand. When opening, pull the opening knob, then turn the knob
counter-clockwise until the outside housing opens.
2. Remove the back of the housing by pulling it oblique slightly to
release the two pins. In this way, it will be possible to separate
completely the back housing from the front housing.
3. To close, insert the two pins in their slots, insert the pins in the
space on the opening knob. While applying a gentle pressure on
the back of the housing screw the knob until the end, and push
it downwards to secure it safely. If you have not closed the back
properly you may feel resistance when turning the knob.
Open it again and check that camera is properly inserted, pins are in
their slots,verify the shoulder strap clips have been removed and try again.
4. When closing, make sure there is nothing caught between the
closing surfaces of the two halves of the housing and check that
O-rings are clean.
N.B. If you do not close the back housing correctly or there is
something preventing the correct closure of the housing, the camera
controls cannot work properly.
• As for the push buttons and her functions please refer to the in-
struction manual of the camera in use.
• To use the built-in strobe, mount the supplied diffuser, tting it
into the groove of the port by placing the largest part in correspon-
dence with the built-in strobe.
• To use an external strobe that works in synchrony with the integra-
ted one in the camera is necessary to bring the ber optic contact in
front of the built-in strobe using the appropriate optional accessory.

TROUBLESHOOTING
• BUTTONS DO NOT WORK
Check the correct positioning of the camera;
• BUTTONS GET STUCK
Apply lubricant to the button. Press the button several times to
distribute the lubricant.
N.B.* Don’t use vaseline grease on the O-rings seals.
We recommend the use of original ISOTTA products.
• TRACES OF SALT ON JOINTS WHILE ASSEMBLY HOUSING
Salty water on the joints: rinse well and wipe the points with
Vaseline oil, except for the optics, which should be cleaned only
with special detergents.
• RED LED IS ON
A red LED signal indicates excessive moisture inside the housing.
If this happens underwater, you should get out of water as soon as
possible in respect of security measures and ensure that there were
no leaks.
In the event that there have been an inltration, remove the sensor’s
battery, dry immediately with a soft cloth or a hair dryer. At this point,
the case will continue to operate.
In the event that,once dry the housing and insert a new battery,the red
LED continues to ash, this result in no problems for the mechanical
operation of the product.
As for the camera,please refer to the instruction manual of the camera.
In this cases it is advisable to send the case to the manufacturer for
verication.

15
WARNINGS
•CHECK the housing before installing the camera after dispatch or
transport it by plane.
•DON’T TRANSPORT the housing hermetically sealed on a plane.
Remove the rear cap or the rear cap’s o-rings.
If you remove the O-rings, then remember to put them back on.
•MAKE SURE above all of the integrity of the seal between the back
door and O-rings.
•LUBRICATE with a minimal amount of silicone grease the two
O-rings located on the rear cap.
•DON’T CARRY the housing with the camera placed inside to avoid
stress to the camera itself.
•NEVER EXPOSE the case in direct sunlight, as the color might fade
and in order to prevent damage to the internal circuitry.
•CHECK that the port is always clean (never degrease it with solvents,
acetone, paint thinner, etc. to avoid serious damage to the optical
treatment). Only clean it with liquid, cloths or optical cloths.
•AVOID sharp blows on the command buttons,front lens and ports.
At the end of each dive rinse the housing in sweet water.
CAUTION: rinse and dry the lens, in order to avoid chalky deposit
formations that over time would ruin irremediably the optics and the
housing.
N.B.*:KEEP THE HOUSING TIGHTLY CLOSED when you rinse it.
Before removing the camera from the housing make sure the housing
is dry to avoid that any drop of water causes damage to the camera.

16
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- It’s a good practice to rinse the housing with sweet water, ensuring it
is properly closed, after each salt water use. Then dry it accurately.
Run water in the greatest stagnation points of salt water as
perimeter rings, caps, lens, eyepiece,command buttons and levers.
WARNING: it is advisable to operate the control buttons during the
rinse, so as to remove any residual salt within that, in the long run, it
could lead to blockage.
- It’s a good practice to clean and grease the O-rings with silicone
grease without exagerating. It is recommended to use special
silicone grease for O-rings.
If using unsuitable grease or spray, you may experience O-rings
swelling or their expansion, affecting the seal.
- You need to grease the O-rings away from towels, bathrobes,
tablecloths etc. or places of stagnant dust, because the grease
protects the O-rings, but attracts various lightweight materials
such as fur, hair, bres, grains of salt, sand, etc.
- These particles are difcult to see because of the presence
of grease. You must therefore pay particular attention to the
cleanliness of the O-rings, otherwise you could create ooding, that
would certainly have been avoided with a correct maintenance.
Replace the main O-rings annually.
- When you do not in use the housing for a long time you must to
remove the O-rings and sprinkle all the external metal parts with a
light coat of vaseline oil.
N.B.
*
Never use Vaseline oil to lubricate the O-rings, use only silicone
grease. We recommend the use of ISOTTA products.
- Do not use solvents,thinners,or alcohol to clean the port or the monitor.
- Treat the surface of the lens port like a camera lens. After use, rinse
and gently dry the outside lens port to avoid water spotting.
To clean, use a mild soap solution or lens cleaner.

16/10/2020 - ISOTECNIC Srl reserves its right to modify the actual product due
to product or service enhancement or technical updates without prior notice.
It is recommended that you ship the housing to our distributor or
to Isotecnic factory for a complete overhaul every 2 years or after
