Do not use the O-ring grease other than the supplied O-ring grease. Surface 
of the O-ring will deteriorate, causing a water leak.
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 or damage 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 the O-ring, when not in use for a long period of time, after attaching 
the digital camera or when replacing the battery, if the marine case is opened 
please thoroughly check the O-ring for damage or any cracks.
After checking, shut the marine case, immerse in water (a water tank or a bath tub) 
for approximately 3 minutes or more, then check that there are no water leaks. 
(P12)
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.
∫ About maintenance
Do not use the chemicals shown below for cleaning, rustproofing, defogging 
or repair. Using them directly or indirectly (with a chemical spray etc.) on the 
Case may cause it to crack.
If grease sticks to the digital camera, wipe it off with a soft, dry cloth.
When wiping the inside of the Case, only use a soft, dry cloth. Wipe the inside of 
the front glass with a soft, dry cloth before and after use to keep the glass clear.
