Advance Check of the Case Advance test before use This Case has been the subject of thorough quality control for the parts during the manufacturing process and thorough function inspections during the assembly. In addition, a water pressure test is performed with a water pressure tester for all products to confirm that the performance conforms to the specifications. However, depending on the carrying and storage conditions, the maintenance status, etc. , the waterproof function may be damaged. Before diving, always perform the following advance test and the final test after installation of the camera. En Advance Test 1 Before installing the digital camera in the Case, immerse the empty Case to the intended water depth to confirm that there is no water leakage. 2 Main causes of water leakage are as follows. · The O-ring has not been installed. · A part of the O-ring or the entire O-ring is outside the specified groove. · O-ring damage, cracks, deterioration or deformation · Sand, fibers, hair or other foreign matter sticking to the O-ring, the O-ring groove or the O-ring contact surface on the front lid · Damage to the O-ring groove or the O-ring contact surface on the front lid · Catching of the strap, silica gel, etc. when closing the Case · Throwing the Case from a boat into the water, jumping with the Case into the water, or other sudden application of strong forces onto the Case. When entering the water, hand the Case over gently or avoid impacts in other ways. Perform the test after the above causes have been eliminated. CAUTION: · The most suitable method for checking water leakage is to immerse the Case to the intended water depth. When this is difficult, water leakage also can be checked at a shallow depth with no water pressure. Do not feel that this is troublesome, but perform this test. · If a leak is detected in normal handling during testing, do not use the Case and contact Olympus. EN 15 3. [. . . ] · 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. EN 31 Replace consumable parts · The O-ring is a consumable part. Regardless of the number of times the Case is used, it is recommended that the O-ring be replaced with a new one at least once a year. [. . . ]
