Preventing Leakage

WATER INSIDE THE CASE COULD NOT ONLY EXPOSE THE CAMERA TO IRREPARABLE DAMAGE BUT ALSO RESULT IN FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR EXPOSURE TO POISONOUS GASES. THE ENTRY OF WATER INTO THE CASE CAN BE PREVENTED BY OBSERVING THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS:

Before using the WP-CP3 in or near water, test for leaks as described on pages 6–7 and 12 of this manual.

• Before sealing the case, examine the O-ring, watertight channel, and any parts of the case that are in contact with the O-ring carefully to ensure that they are free of dirt, hair, lint, dust, sand, and other foreign objects. Make sure that the O-ring is not twisted or out of position.
• The O-ring requires periodic replacement. Replace the O-ring immediately if it is damaged, cracked, warped, or has lost elasticity. O-rings should be replaced at least once a year; do not use a worn O-ring or a type of O-ring or O-ring grease not designated for use in this product. Do not use NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease).
• Be careful not to damage the O-ring when removing it from the case. Do not use metal objects or objects with sharp points when removing the O-ring.
• Do not use force when removing or positioning the O-ring. Excessive force may permanently stretch the ring, causing the case to leak.
• To prevent wear, use only COOLPIX O-ring grease designated for use with this product. Do not use NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease) or other types of O-ring grease.
• Do not open the waterproof case in areas exposed to spray, high winds, dust, or sand.
• Do not drop the case, place under heavy objects, or subject to excessive force. Failure to observe this precaution could cause the case to warp, resulting in leakage.
• In the event of leakage, stop use immediately, dry the camera and the interior of the case, and take the camera and case to a Nikon-authorized service representative.

Shock and Vibration

The waterproof case is not designed to protect the camera from blows or vibration. Do not drop the case, strike it against hard objects, throw it into the water, jump into the water holding the case, or leave the case in an area subject to extreme vibration. Failure to observe these precautions could result in damage to the camera.

Maximum Depth

The WP-CP3 is waterproof to 40m (130'). At greater depths, the case could leak, break, or change shape, resulting in damage to the camera.

Temperature

Do not leave the case in areas exposed to high temperatures, such as inside a car, near a heater, on a beach, or in direct sunlight. Failure to observe this precaution could weaken or warp the case, resulting in damage to the camera. Sudden changes in temperature could result in condensation inside the case, which could also damage the camera. To prevent condensation:

• Before exposing the case to sudden changes in temperature, place it in a sealed plastic bag. Do not open the bag until the case has reached the same temperature as its surroundings.
• Place the supplied desiccant (silica gel) in the case with the camera as directed on page 10 of this manual.
• Do not expose the case to high temperatures by leaving it on the beach or in direct sunlight before entering the water.

Chemicals

• Do not expose the case to volatile chemicals or their vapors. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the case.
• Do not use chemical detergents, rust inhibitors, thinner, alcohol, or other volatile chemicals when cleaning the case. Wash in fresh water only.
• Use only desiccants designated for use with this product (see page 19).
• Use only COOLPIX O-ring grease designated for use with this product (see page 19). Do not use NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease).
• Do not use sealants or anti-fog chemicals.
• Do not handle the case after applying sunscreen. Sunscreen can damage the clear plastic parts of the case.
• Do not apply stickers to the case, as the adhesive could cause the case to deteriorate.

Travelling by Air

If possible, include the case in your carry-on baggage when travelling by air. When packing the case with checked luggage, leave the case open or remove the O-ring. If the case is sealed, changes in air pressure may damage the case or prevent the case from opening.

High Altitudes

When travelling from high to low altitudes, open the case periodically to equalize the pressure. If the case is kept sealed, changes in air pressure may damage the case or prevent the case from opening.

Let the case dry in the shade

Leave the case out to dry in a shady, well-ventilated area.

Do Not Exposure to Sunlight or Heat

Do not use a hair dryer or other heat source or place the case in direct sunlight. Heat could cause the O-ring to deteriorate, resulting in leakage.

Cleaning the Interior of the Case

Use a blower or a soft, dry cloth to clean the interior of the case. Do not use water, detergents, or chemical agents of any kind. Water can damage the coating on the inside of the lens window.

Caring for the O-ring

The WP-CP3 uses an O-ring to form a watertight seal. Improper handling of the O-ring can produce leaks. Check the condition of the O-ring as described below before each use, and check for the presence of foreign matter on the O-ring each time the case is opened, however briefly.

Illustration of hands assembling electronic components with a magnified inset showing detail (no text or symbols)

Remove the O-ring

Pinch the O-ring lightly between two fingers to form a loop. Take hold of the loop and remove the O-ring from the case.

Do Not Use Force or Sharp Objects

The case may leak if the O-ring is forcibly stretched or damaged through the use of edged or pointed objects, including fingernails and metal tools.

2 Cracking

Inspect the O-ring

Remove old O-ring grease and other foreign matter with tissue paper or a soft, dry cloth, taking care not to leave tissue or threads on the O-ring. Gently bend the O-ring to check for cracking or other damage.

Illustration of a hand using a tool to adjust or install electronic components (no text or symbols visible)

Inspect the O-ring guide

Use a blower or cotton swab to remove any foreign objects from the watertight channel and all parts of the case that come into contact with the O-ring. Be sure to remove any threads left behind by the swab.

Replacing the O-ring

The O-ring requires periodic replacement. Replace the O-ring immediately if it is damaged, cracked, warped, or has lost its elasticity. O-rings should be replaced at least once a year. Use only COOLPIX O-ring grease designated for use in this product; replacement O-rings and O-ring grease can be purchased from a Nikon camera retailer or Nikon-authorized service agent. Do not use NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease).

4

Line drawing of hands holding a rope or cable, no text or symbols present

Grease the O-ring

If the O-ring is not properly greased, it may crack or peel, causing leaks. If the bottom of the O-ring appears dry, place a drop of O-ring grease on your index finger and spread grease on the O-ring by sliding it between your thumb and index finger, gently stretching the ring. Do not use cloth or paper, as these may leave fibers on the O-ring. Note that applying too much grease may cause foreign matter to adhere more readily to the ring, preventing the case from sealing properly.

5

Replace the O-ring

Making sure the O-ring and guide are free of foreign objects, place the O-ring so that it runs evenly at the same level all the way round the O-ring guide, without undue stretching and without protruding from the guide.

MADE IN CHINA

Check the seal

Close the case and check that the case is fully sealed. If the O-ring does not form a perfect seal, open the case and adjust the O-ring to prevent leaks.

MADE IN CHINA

Cleaning

Do not use detergents or volatile chemicals such as alcohol or thinner when cleaning the case. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the case or O-ring.

Storage

Store the case in a cool, well-ventilated area, leaving the case open to prevent the O-ring from deteriorating. When leaving the case unused for an extended period, remove the O-ring, wipe off any O-ring grease, and place the O-ring in a clean plastic bag to ensure that it maintains it elasticity. Do not store the case in direct sunlight or where it will be exposed to sudden changes in temperature or high levels of humidity.
