Notes on Using the Waterproof Case Correctly

•Do not use or store the waterproof case at temperatures above +40 °C/+104 °F.

•Do not use in water above +40 °C/+104 °F, since it may leak.

•Do not use thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other volatile chemicals for cleaning. Applying any such chemicals to the waterproof case may cause damage to its surface, and it will crack under high pressure.

•Do not overstrain the tripod mount.

•Do not strike or subject the waterproof case to impacts.

•Do not throw the waterproof case into the water.

•When you use waterproof case in seawater, wash it, while still tightly closed, in a bucketful of fresh water to rinse off the salt. Then dry the outside of the case, using a dry, soft piece of cloth.

•This product is designed to be used under water as a waterproof case. Do not leave it or store it with the camera still inside: the battery may leak or even cause a fire.

•When the camera is carried onboard an airplane with the waterproof case closed, the case may not open. Be sure to open the waterproof case before bringing the camera onto the airplane. If the waterproof case does not open, immerse the camera into lukewarm water to warm the inside air and reduce the difference in air pressure, and then open the waterproof case.

■To avoid water leaks

If this case leaks while using it and soaks the digital camera inside, the camera cannot be repaired. Take the following precautions before use.

•The standard life of the O-ring is about one year, though it depends on operating conditions. Replace the O-ring with a new one once a year.

•Any foreign particles caught in the O-ring may cause a water leak. Wipe them off, making sure that no lint remains stuck to the O-ring. If a foreign particle cannot easily be removed, try washing it off with water.

•If the O-ring is scratched, cracked, discolored or deformed, replace it with a new one.

•When replacing the O-ring, first clean the groove for the O-ring and check that it is free of grains of sand, dust, hair, and other foreign particles.

•For the O-ring, use the specified brand of silicone grease recommended by

FUJIFILM.

•If the O-ring is not seated correctly, a water leak may occur. When mounting the O- ring, take care that it stays in the groove and does not become twisted (pg. 24).

•Do not leave the waterproof case in direct sunlight in summer, in a closed vehicle, or near heating equipment. Do not apply any long-term external force to the waterproof case. Deformation caused by heat or force may cause a loss of water- proofing, making it unusable for use under water.

•Be careful not to damage the O-ring or the face that contacts it by banging them together or letting foreign particles (sand, dust or hair) get between them.
