[. . . ] Check if there is any dirt by rubbing your finger over the O-ring. Be careful not to leave any fibers from the dry cloth on the O-ring when wiping it. Check that the O-ring is not ripped, twisted, squashed, frayed or scratched and that there is no sand sticking to it. Replace the O-ring in these cases. 3Ripped 3Twisted 3Squashed 3Frayed 3Scratched 3Sand 3 Inspect the O-ring groove. Grains of sand or hardened salt crystals may get into the O-ring groove. Remove them carefully with an air spray or a cotton swab. If you use a cotton swab, be careful not to leave any fibers from it in the O-ring groove. 11 VQT2A16 Preparation -Setting the O-ring- (continued) 4 5 Inspect the opposite side of the O-ring in the same way. Apply the grease (supplied). Apply a rice-grain size of grease (supplied) evenly to the O-ring with the tip of your finger. Dirt or dust will stick to the O-ring if you apply too much grease. If you use other types of grease, the surface of the O-ring may be damaged causing water leakage. Do not apply the grease with paper or a cloth. The fibers from the paper or cloth may stick to the O-ring. 6 Fit the O-ring evenly into the O-ring groove. Check the following: There is no dirt sticking to the O-ring. If you dive quickly while holding the Case or throw the Case from a ship into the sea, some water leakage may occur because of high pressure. The Case is designed to be used at a depth of up to 40 m/130 feet. If you dive deeper than 40 m/130 feet, part of the Case may be damaged beyond repair. When closing the Case, be careful that no foreign materials get caught between the O-ring and the O-ring groove. Even one strand of hair or one grain of sand can cause water leakage. 14 VQT2A16 Preparation -Attaching the Digital CameraRead the notes on page 17 before attaching the digital camera.

Silica gel 15 VQT2A16 Preparation -Attaching the Digital Camera- (continued) When inserting the silica gel, bend it as shown in the illustration below and then insert it as far as possible. If you close the Case with the silica gel not fully inserted, the silica gel will get caught in the O-ring causing water leakage. If the air temperature is high and the water temperature is low, condensation may appear inside the Case. To prevent condensation, make sure that the silica gel (supplied) does not come into contact with the digital camera lens. To prevent the Case from becoming fogged up, insert the silica gel about 1 to 2 hours before using the Case. 4 Close the buckle. ` Check that the buckle is closed firmly. Do not insert the strap etc. in the buckle 5 16 After you have attached the digital camera, check one more time that no water leaks into the Case.

[. . . ] 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. 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. [. . . ]
