Temperature

Do not leave the case in areas exposed to high temperatures, such as inside a car, near a heater, on a beach, or in direct sunlight. Failure to observe this precaution could weaken or warp the case, resulting in damage to the camera. Sudden changes in temperature could result in condensation inside the case, which could also damage the camera. To prevent condensation:

•Before exposing the case to sudden changes in temperature, place it in a sealed plastic bag. Do not open the bag until the case has reached the same temperature as its surroundings.

•Place the supplied desiccant (silica gel) in the case with the camera as directed on page 10 of this manual.

•Do not expose the case to high temperatures by leaving it on the beach or in direct sunlight before entering the water.

Chemicals

•Do not expose the case to volatile chemicals or their vapors. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the case.

•Do not use chemical detergents, rust inhibitors, thinner, alcohol, or other volatile chemicals when cleaning the case. Wash in fresh water only.

•Use only desiccants designated for use with this product (see page 19).

•Use only COOLPIX O-ring grease designated for use with this product (see page 19). Do not use NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease).

•Do not use sealants or anti-fog chemicals.

•Do not handle the case after applying sunscreen. Sunscreen can damage the clear plastic parts of the case.

•Do not apply stickers to the case, as the adhesive could cause the case to deterio- rate.

Travelling by Air

If possible, include the case in your carry-on baggage when travelling by air. When packing the case with checked luggage, leave the case open or remove the O-ring. If the case is sealed, changes in air pressure may damage the case or prevent the case from opening.

High Altitudes

When travelling from high to low altitudes, open the case periodically to equalize the pressure. If the case is kept sealed, changes in air pressure may damage the case or prevent the case from opening.
