Tips
1
Place the case
slowly into the
water.
As the case is transparent, water
drops entering into it can be seen
easily.
2
At first, immerse the
case for 3 seconds
only.
If there is something wrong with the
waterproof packing, 3 seconds is long
enough for water to get inside. Are there
air bubbles coming out between the lids?
Please check carefully.
3
Check that no water
has got inside the
case.
Remove the case from the water and
check that there is no water in the
bottom of the case.
Is there any water trickling down?
4
Next, immerse the
case for 30
seconds.
Check carefully for air bubbles!
Do not perform any operation yet,
but just observe.
5
Check that no water
has got inside.
Remove the case from the water and
check that there is no water in the
bottom of the case.
Be sure to check very carefully.
6
Next, check by
immersing for 3
minutes.
Check carefully for air bubbles! Try
operating the buttons used most frequently
and check carefully for air bubbles!
If there is still no water inside, everything
is OK!
7
This is the final check.
Remove the case from the water
and check once more that there is
no water in the bottom of the case.
