Advance check 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 using, always perform the following advance checks.
Advance check
1 Before loading the digital camera in the Case, immerse the empty Case to confirm that there is no
water leakage. When it is difficult, water leakage can be checked by referring "Water Leakage Test"
(P.14).
2 Main causes of water leakage are as follows.
• Forgetting to install the O-ring
• Part of an O-ring or an 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.
• Damage to an O-ring groove or O-ring contact surface.
• Attached strap or silica gel getting caught when closing the Case.
Perform the test after the above causes have been eliminated.
CAUTION:
If the advance test should show water leakage with normal handling, stop using the Case and contact your
dealer or an Olympus service station.
