Contrôler l'état de chargement.

Toujours effectuer les contrôles finaux suivants avant de sceller le coffret. Est-ce que l'appareil photo a été chargé de sorte que le levier de zoom fonctionne correctement ?

Est-ce que le gel de silice a été inséré complètement dans la position spécifiée ?

Est-ce que le joint a été installé correctement dans la gorge du coffret ? Est-ce que le joint et la surface de contact du joint sur le couvercle avant sont sans poussière ou autre matière étrangère ?

Sceller le coffret.

Lorsque le couvercle arrière est fermé (doucement, pour que le joint ne sorte pas de la gorge), les boucles sont engagées avec le bord du couvercle arrière, et les leviers de blocage de boucle sont poussés vers le bas dans le sens des flèches, le coffret sera scellé hermétiquement.

ATTENTION: • Sceller le coffret en tournant les deux leviers de blocage de boucle vers le bas dans le sens des flèches. Si une des boucle est laissée ouverte, le coffret ne sera pas scellé et une fuite d'eau se produira.
