- Page 2 To make sure that the battery has been properly installed inside the cradle, turn the cradle on using the power switch. If a charged battery has been properly installed, the indicator light will turn on (Fig.3). If possible, it is recommended to mount the cradle on the camera hot‐shoe in order to secure it within a fixed position and to ensure all camera and housing functions are Fig.3 accessible. To do so, hold the cradle opposite the camera hot‐shoe with the cradle hot‐shoe connector pointed down and the cable pointed leftwards and towards the Micro USB port of the camera (Fig.4). Then gently slide the cradle hot‐shoe connector forwards all the way through the camera hot‐shoe mount until reaching a point of minimal resistance (Fig.5). Fig.4 Fig.5 If the cradle cannot be mounted on the camera hot‐shoe since the hot‐shoe is already being used with a different accessory or since there is no sufficient space inside the housing to accommodate the cradle in this position, the cradle can be secured elsewhere inside the housing. Either way, when positioning and securing the cradle, make sure it doesn’t interfere with housing and camera operation and that it doesn’t interrupt the watertight seal of the housing. Open the camera connections slot cover (Fig.6). Connect the cradle cable to the camera Micro USB port (Fig.7). Make sure you’re inserting the cable into the port in the correct direction and do not use any force. If exists, the camera charge lamp (or any other indication of charging on the camera) should turn on a few seconds after the cable has been connected and the cradle has been turned on (see example on Fig.8). ...

Note that occasionally, such icons disappear after a few seconds and should appear again if depressing the shutter release halfway. Install the camera inside the camera housing following the instructions provided with the housing (Fig.10). Make sure the Cradle and cable do not interrupt with proper installation of the camera. If the cradle isn’t mounted on the camera hot‐shoe, secure it within a position that does not interrupt with proper operation of camera and housing controls, as well as the watertight seal of the housing. Fig.9 Fig.10 Prior to closing the housing, roll and fold the cable to make sure it doesn’t get caught in the way of the housing seal (Fig.11). Make sure the cradle is turned on and close the camera housing following the instructions provided with the housing. Upon installing the battery Cradle Cnd prior to the dive, it is important to test the watertight seal of the housing in a shallow body of water to make sure that the housing is properly sealed. IMPORTANT NOTICE When the battery cradle is connected to the camera and turned on, the camera battery power indicator (usually displayed on the Fig.11 LCD screen) refers to power provided by both batteries . That is to ...
