2. Advance check of the Case

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.

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.

Open the Case and remove the O-ring.

Procedure

1 Insert the O-ring remover into the gap between the O-ring and O-ring groove wall.

2 Bring the tip of the inserted O-ring remover below the O-ring. (Be careful not to damage the groove

with the tip of the O-ring remover.)

3 Lift the O-ring, pinch it with your fingertips and pull it out of the Case.

After visually checking that dirt has been removed from the O-ring, check for attached sand and other

foreign matter, as well as for damage and cracks by squeezing the entire circumference of the O-ring

lightly with your fingertips.

Remove attached foreign matter from the O-ring groove with a clean cloth or a cotton swab. Also remove

any sand or dirt attached to any part of the Case that comes into contact with the O-ring.

CAUTION:

• When a sharp object is used to remove the O-ring or to clean the inside of the O-ring groove, the Case and

the O-ring may be damaged and water leakage may be caused.

• When the O-ring is checked with the fingertips, take care not to stretch the O-ring.

• Never use alcohol, thinner, benzene or similar solvents or chemicals detergents to clean the O-ring. When

such chemicals are used, it is likely that the O-ring will be damaged or that its deterioration will be

accelerated.
