Maintenance

Caring for the O-ring

The WP-CP3 uses an O-ring to form a watertight seal. Improper handling of the O-ring can produce leaks. Check the condition of the O-ring as described below before each use, and check for the presence of foreign matter on the O-ring each time the case is opened, however briefly.

Remove the O-ring

Pinch the O-ring lightly between two fingers to form a loop. Take hold of the loop and remove the O-ring from the case.

Do Not Use Force or Sharp Objects

The case may leak if the O-ring is forcibly stretched or damaged through the use of edged or pointed objects, including fingernails and metal tools.

Cracking Inspect the O-ring

Remove old O-ring grease and other foreign mat- ter with tissue paper or a soft, dry cloth, taking care not to leave tissue or threads on the O-ring. Gently bend the O-ring to check for cracking or other damage.

Inspect the O-ring guide

Use a blower or cotton swab to remove any for- eign objects from the watertight channel and all parts of the case that come into contact with the O-ring. Be sure to remove any threads left behind by the swab.

Maintenance

Replacing the O-ring

The O-ring requires periodic replacement. Replace the O-ring immediately if it is dam- aged, cracked, warped, or has lost its elasticity. O-rings should be replaced at least once a year. Use only COOLPIX O-ring grease designated for use in this product; replacement O-rings and O-ring grease can be purchased from a Nikon camera retailer or Nikon-au- thorized service agent. Do not use NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease).
