6. Maintaining the Waterproof Function
Remove the O-ring.
Open the Case and remove the O-ring from the Case.
Removal of the O-ring
Insert the O-ring removal pick between the O-ring and the wall of
the O-ring groove.
Move the tip of the inserted pick under the O-ring. (Take care not
to damage the O-ring groove with the tip of the pick.)
Hold the O-ring with your fingertips after it has come out of the
groove and remove it from the Case.
Remove any sand, dirt, etc.
After visually checking that dirt has been removed from the O-ring,
checking for attached sand and other foreign matter, as well as for
damage and cracks can be done by squeezing the entire circumference
of the O-ring lightly with your fingertips.
Using a clean cloth free of fibers, dirt, etc., a piece of lint-free tissue
paper or a soft toothbrush, remove any foreign matter attached to the
grooves of the O-rings. Also remove sand and dirt particles attached to
the O-ring contact surfaces on the case.
Wash the Case with pure water.
After use, seal the Case again after taking out the camera and wash it
sufficiently in pure water as soon as possible. After use in sea water,
it is effective to immerse it for a fixed time in pure water to remove
any salt.
:
• Water leakage may be caused when a high water
pressure is applied locally. Before washing the Case
with water, remove the digital camera from it.
• Operate the shutter lever and various buttons of this
product in pure water to remove salt adhering to the
shaft. Do not disassemble for cleaning.
• Drying the Case with adhering salt may impair the
function. Always wash off any salt after use.
CAUTION
Dry the Case.
After washing with pure water, use a soft cloth without any salt on it
and not causing any fibers to wipe off any waterdrop and dry the
Case completely at a well ventilated location in the shade.
:
• Do not use hot air from a hair drier or the like for
drying and do not expose the Case to direct sunlight,
as this may accelerate deterioration and deformation
of the Case and deterioration of the O-ring, leading to
leakage of water.
When wiping the Case, take care not to cause
scratches.
CAUTION
