CAUTION : • Always perform maintenance of the waterproof function even when the Case has been opened to exchange the battery or the image storage during shooting. Neglecting this maintenance may become the cause of water leakage.
•When the Case is not to be used for a long time, remove the O-ring from the groove to prevent deformation of the O-ring, apply a thin coat of silicone grease, and store it in a clean plastic bag or the like.
•When drying is done with salt attached, it is likely that a function impairment will be caused. After use, always wash off any salt.
Replace consumable products.
The O-ring is a consumable product. Independent of the number of times the Case is used, it is recommended that the O-ring should be replaced by a new one at least once a year.
Deterioration of the O-ring is accelerated by the use conditions and the storage conditions. Replace the O-ring even before a year has passed if it shows signs of damage, cracking or loss of elasticity.
Note: • Please use original Olympus products for the silicone O-ring grease, the silica gel, and the O-ring. These consumable products also can be purchased at an Olympus service station.
