Place housing face down in your
lap or on flat surface
Check to see that there is an
o’ring on the housing back and
that it is clean and in its proper
location
Guide the back onto the housing
The o’ring should touch the
housing all the way around There
should be an even gap all the way
around between the housing and
the housing back
Lift the lid snaps so they are
extended and place the lid snap
into the hook on the housing
back
To close the housing push
down on the lid snaps until
they snap into place Lid
snaps on opposite sides of the
housing should be closed at the
same time Be sure they are down
far enough to engage the lock

Check the gap between the housing back and the housing it
should be even all the way around
Look through the clear plastic back at the o’ring You should see a
darkened area where the o’ring is compressed against the
housing back If you do not see an even black compression seal
all the way around the back open the lid snaps reseat the
housing back and close the lid snaps Visually check the seal again
