Caution for Use (continued)

≥Use only the specified grease. If you use other types of grease, the surface of the O-ring may be damaged causing water leakage.

≥The O-ring comes into contact with the sides of the Case making the Case waterproof. Do not knock, insert foreign materials (dirt, sand, hair etc.) or scratch the O-ring or sides of the Case.

≥Use the tips of your fingers to remove the O-ring. Do not use a pointed object as it may scratch the O-ring.

≥After removing the O-ring from the rear case, wipe off any dirt, sand, hair or other foreign materials on it. Also wipe the O-ring groove and the inner sides of the front case which come into contact with the O-ring.

≥Never use an O-ring that has been scratched or damaged by dirt etc. This will cause water leakage. Replace it with a new O-ring.

≥After replacing an O-ring, not using the Case for a long period of time, opening the Case to attach a digital camera or to replace the battery etc., thoroughly check that the O-ring is not scratched or split. Then, close the Case and check that no water leaks into it by submerging it in a water tank, bath tub etc. for about 3 minutes. (P14)

≥O-rings are consumable products. Although the lifespan of O-rings will depend on how well they are maintained, how often they are used and their storage conditions, we recommend replacing them every year even if you cannot see any scratches.
