Olympus PT-043 Gebrauchsanleitung

EN 31

Confirm that no foreign matter is adhered, apply a thin coat of the grease 
provided to the O-ring, and fit the O-ring into the groove. At this point, 
confirm that the O-ring does not stick out from the groove.

1

Apply the exclusive 
lubricant to each        
O-ring.

Make sure that your fingers and the 
O-ring are free of dirt, and squeeze about 
5 mm of lubricant onto a finger. (5 mm is 
the most appropriate amount.)

2

Spread the lubricant 
all over the O-ring.

Apply the lubricant with three fingers and 
spread it over the ring. Be careful not to 
use force as this may stretch the O-ring.

3

Check that the O-ring 
is free of scratches or 
unevenness.

After spreading the lubricant, check 
visually and by touch that the O-ring is 
not scratched and that its surface is flat. 
If it is damaged in any way, be sure to 
replace it with a brand-new O-ring.

4

Apply lubricant on the 
O-ring contact 
surface.

Use the lubricant remaining on the 
fingers to clean and lubricate the case’s 
contact surface.

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 cause 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. 

• Drying the Case with salt adhered may impair the function. Always wash 

off any salt after use.
