What is the O-ring?

≥ The O-ring is a waterproofing packing used for underwater cameras, watches and

diving equipment.

≥ The O-ring keeps the Case waterproof by sealing the gap between the rear case

and the front case.

∫ How the O-ring keeps the Case waterproof

The gum comes into contact with the sides of the Case making the

Case waterproof and stopping water from entering from the gap.

When the O-ring is crushed by water pressure, the surface of

the O-ring expands and the Case is sealed more tightly.

The O-ring prevents water leakage by coming into uniform

contact with the sides of the Case. Therefore, good care of the

O-ring is very important. Incorrect care of the O-ring may

cause water leakage.

Check the O-ring.

≥ Check that there is no dirt, sand, hair, dust, salt crystals, lint or old grease on

the O-ring. If you find any of these, remove them with a soft, dry cloth.

≥ There may be dirt on the O-ring that you cannot see. Check if there is any dirt by

rubbing your finger over the O-ring.

≥ Be careful not to leave any fibers from the dry cloth on the O-ring when wiping it.

≥ Check that the O-ring is not ripped, twisted, squashed, frayed or scratched and

that there is no sand sticking to it. Replace the O-ring in these cases.

3

Inspect the O-ring groove.

≥ Grains of sand or hardened salt crystals may get into the O-ring groove.

Remove them carefully with an air spray or a cotton swab. If you use a cotton

swab, be careful not to leave any fibers from it in the O-ring groove.

≥ Apply a rice-grain size of grease (supplied) evenly to the O-ring with the tip of

your finger.

≥ Dirt or dust will stick to the O-ring if you apply too much grease.

≥

Use only the specified grease. If you use other types of grease, the

surface of the O-ring may be damaged causing water leakage.

≥ Do not apply the grease with paper or a cloth. The fibers from the paper or cloth

may stick to the O-ring.

6

Inspect the O-ring one last time.

Check the following one more time:

≥ There is no dirt sticking to the O-ring.

≥ The O-ring has not come out.

≥ The O-ring is not twisted.

≥ There are no scratches or squashed parts on the O-ring.

Thoroughly wipe any grease off your hands with a dry cloth and then

wash your hands with water.

Close the buckle.

≥ Check that no foreign materials are sticking to the outer surface of the O-ring and

the buckle on the front case and then close the Case.

∫

Notes

≥ To keep the Case completely airtight, do not scratch the surface of the O-ring that

comes into contact with the sides of the Case.

≥ Never use an O-ring that has been scratched or damaged by dirt etc. This will cause

water leakage.

≥ Each time you use the Case, remove the O-ring and check that there is no dirt,

sand, hair or other foreign materials in the O-ring groove and then apply a thin coat

of grease (supplied). If you apply too much grease, dirt and the dust may stick to the

O-ring causing water leakage.

≥ Be sure to bring a spare O-ring in case the O-ring that you are using becomes

damaged or scratched.

Preparation -Checking the Case is Waterproof-

After setting the O-ring, check that no water leaks into the Case by

submerging it in a water tank, bath tub etc. for more than about

3 minutes before attaching a digital camera.

≥ Do not use the Case in water over 40 °C. The heat may damage the Case or cause

water leakage.

‘

Carry out the same test after attaching the digital camera to the Case. (P15)

∫

Notes

≥ If bubbles rise from the Case when it is submerged in water or there is water inside

the Case when you take it out the water, there is water leakage. In these cases,

consult your dealer.

≥ If water leaks into the Case while you are using it and the digital camera is

submerged in water, remove the battery immediately. Hydrogen gas can cause

burning or explosion if there is a fire nearby.

≥ If you dive quickly while holding the Case or throw the Case from a ship into the sea,

some water leakage may occur because of high pressure. This is not a malfunction

of the Case. Always dive slowly into the water.

≥ The Case is designed to be used at a depth of up to 40 m. If you dive deeper than

40 m, part of the Case may be damaged beyond repair.

≥ When closing the Case, be careful that no foreign materials get caught between the

O-ring and the O-ring groove. Even one strand of hair or one grain of sand can

cause water leakage.

Insert the silica gel (supplied).

≥ Always use new silica gel.

≥

When inserting the silica gel, bend it as shown in the illustration below

and then insert it as far as possible. If you close the Case with the silica

gel not fully inserted, the silica gel will get caught in the O-ring causing

water leakage.

≥ If the air temperature is high and the water temperature is low, condensation

may appear inside the Case. To prevent condensation, make sure that the silica

gel (supplied) does not come into contact with the digital camera lens. To

prevent the Case from becoming fogged up, insert the silica gel about 1 to

2 hours before using the Case.
