Maintenance

The seal is what keeps the FJ-CP1 watertight. Make sure that the seal is free

of foreign matter before each use, and check the case for leaks before us-

ing the camera under water. A leak may indicate that the seal is damaged,

stretched, or has lost elasticity and should be replaced as described below.

Cracking

Replacing the Seal

The seal requires periodic replacement. Replace the seal immediately if it is dam-

aged, cracked, warped, or has lost its elasticity. The seal should be replaced at least

once a year. Do not use O-ring lubricant (grease).

Remove the seal

Insert your ﬁ nger into the notch and remove the

seal as shown.

Do Not Use Force or Sharp Objects

The case may leak if the seal is forcibly stretched

or damaged through the use of edged or pointed

objects, including ﬁ ngernails and metal tools.

Inspect the seal

Remove any foreign matter with tissue paper or

a soft, dry cloth, taking care not to leave tissue

or threads on the seal. Gently bend the seal to

check for cracking or other damage.

Inspect the seal guide

Use a blower or cotton swab to remove any for-

eign objects from all parts of the case that come

into contact with the seal. Be sure to remove any

threads left behind by the swab.
