Q4 : What cautions must be observed when opening and closing the Case?

A4 : Pay special attention to the following items.

(1) Do not open and close the Case at locations with water spray or sand

spray.

(2) Wipe off all waterdrops from the gap between the front lid and the rear lid

and around projections and recesses such as the buckles. When this is

not done, entry of waterdrops into the Case is to be feared at the time of

opening and closing.

(3) When opening the Case, take care that no water will drip from your hair

or body into the Case or onto the camera.

(4) When the Case is open, confirm that the O-ring and the O-ring contact

surface on the front lid are free of sand, fibers or other foreign matter.

(5) Do not touch the camera or the image storage with your hands to which

sea water is sticking.

(6) If you should detect waterdrops or other signs of water leakage while

shooting, immediately end the dive, perform the water leakage test

again, and confirm that there is no leakage. If the camera is wet, wipe off

any moisture and check the operation.

Q5 : How should the Case be handled after use?

A5 : After use, take out the camera as soon as possible and wash the Case

with pure water. In case of use in the ocean, it is effective to immerse the

Case for a certain time in pure water to remove any salt. Operate the

buttons and levers under water to turn the shafts and wash off any salt.

After washing, use a dry cloth without any salt on it to wipe off any

moisture and dry the Case in the shade. Do not use hot air from a hair

drier or the like and do not dry the Case under direct sunlight. Exposure

to high temperatures or direct sunlight may cause deformation,

discoloration or breakage of the Case and deterioration of the O-ring.

Wipe the inside of the Case with a soft cloth not causing any fibers.
