3. Set up Instructions 3.1 Pressure release plug: The body and lid are designed with a “no clip” closure arrangement. Testing has shown that this arrangement allow the water to exert an even pressure on the O -ring, increasing the reliability of the watertight seal. To open the housing, the pressure release plug must be first unscrewed and then pulled out all the way. This provides a passage for the air to pass though and eliminate the pressure different between the inside of the housin

3.3 Special note on responsibility for watertight integrity: Each housing is individually inspected and hydrostatically tested in the factory. The design of the piston O-ring seal is among the most reliable in the industry and the watertight integrity is excellent. This special O-ring design provides a perfect seal even if there is any movement between the body and lid due to change of ambient pressure. However please note that responsibility for ensuring the integrity of the watertight sea

Squeeze the lid closed all the way, you will hear the hiss of air being expelled. Screw home the pressure release plug. There is no need to excessively tighten this plug. The seal is made by internal O-rings. The O-ring on the underside of the plug is just to keep out dirt. After replacing the lid, make a final visual inspection of the main O-ring f
