Ｑ４：What cautions must be observed when opening and closing the Case?

Ａ４：Pay special attention to the following items.

（1）Do not open and close the Case at locations with water spray or sand spray.

（2）Wipe off all waterdrops from the gap between the front lid and the rear lid and around projections and recesses such as the buckles. When this is not done, entry of waterdrops into the Case is to be feared at the time of opening and closing.

（3）When opening the Case, take care that no water will drip from your hair or body into the Case or onto the camera.

（4）When the Case is open, check that there is no attachment of sand, fibers or other foreign matter to the O-ring and the O-ring contact surface on the front lid.

（5）Do not touch the camera or the image storage with your hands to which sea water is sticking.

（6）If you should detect waterdrops or other signs of water leakage while shooting, immediately end the dive, perform the water leakage test again, and confirm that there is no leakage. If the camera is wet, wipe off any moisture and check the operation.

Ｑ５：How should the Case be handled after use?

Ａ５：After use, take out the camera as soon as possible and wash the Case with pure water. In case of use in the ocean, it is effective to immerse the Case for a certain time in pure water to remove any salt. Operate the buttons and levers under water to turn the shafts and wash off any salt. After washing, use a dry cloth without any salt on it to wipe off any moisture and dry the Case in the shade. Do not use hot air from a hair drier or the like and do not dry the Case under direct sunlight. Exposure to high temperatures or direct sunlight may cause deformation, discoloration or breakage of the Case and deterioration of the O-ring.
