Applying grease to the O-ring

1 Apply only Olympus

exclusive grease to O-ring.

2 Spread the grease onto the

entire circumference of the

O-ring.

3 Check that the O-ring is free

of scratches or unevenness.

CAUTION:

• Always perform maintenance of the waterproof function even when the Case has been opened every

shooting. Neglecting this maintenance may become the cause of water leakage.

• 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.

• The O-ring is a consumable product. Independent of the number of times the Case is used, it is

recommended that the O-ring should be replaced by a new piece at least once a year.

• Deterioration of the O-ring is accelerated by the usage conditions and the storage conditions. Replace

the O-ring even before a year has passed if it shows signs of damage, cracking or loss of elasticity.

CAUTION:

• Use genuine Olympus silicone grease, silica gel and O-ring.

• Do not try to replace the O-ring by yourself.

• We recommend to perform the check periodically.

Examples of foreign matter sticking to the O-ring

Hair

Make sure that your fingers and the O-ring are

free of dirt, and squeeze about 5 mm of grease

onto a finger. (5 mm is the most appropriate

amount.)

Spread the grease onto the entire

circumference of the O-ring using 3 fingers.

Be careful not to use excessive force as this

may stretch the O-ring.

After spreading the grease, check visually and

by touch that the O-ring is not scratched and

that its surface is flat. If it is damaged in any

way, replace it with a brand-new O-ring.
