Cautions

To ensure continued enjoyment of your Nikon product, observe the following precautions when storing or using the device.

Waterproofing

Observe the following precautions when using the case in or around water:

  • Before use, test the case for leaks as described on pages 11 and 17 of this manual.
  • The case is proof only against fresh water (such as pools, rivers, and lakes) and seawater. Do not take into hot springs or baths.
  • Do not expose to depths greater than 45m (147 ft) or to rapids, waterfalls, water flowing at full force from a tap, or other water under high pressure. Failure to observe these precautions could expose the case to pressures high enough to cause damage, deformation, and water entry.
  • Exposure to water will damage the camera. To prevent water entry, do not open the case with wet hands, when the case is wet, or in, on, or by the water or in locations exposed to spray, wind, sand or dust. Ensure that the camera is dry before insertion. Should the case leak, cease use immediately, dry the camera and the interior of the case, and take the camera and case to a Nikon-authorized service representative.
  • Before sealing the case or when installing the O-ring, make sure that the O-ring is not twisted or out of position and examine the interior of case and 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 liquid, dirt, hair, lint, dust, sand, and other foreign objects. Water and other liquids on these surfaces should be removed immediately with a soft, dry cloth. Other foreign matter should be removed with a blower, taking care to remove any small particles from the sides and corners of the watertight channel. Foreign matter on the exterior of the case can be removed with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use soap, cleansers, or other chemicals, and be sure to remove suntan oil, sunblock, bath salts, detergent, soap, organic solvents, oil, alcohol, and the like immediately.
  • Do not apply stickers to the case or use sealants, anti-fog chemicals, or O-ring lubricants or silica gels not specifically designated for use with the WP-N3 [25].
  • Do not leave the case for extended periods in locations that are exposed to freezing temperatures or in hot locations such as enclosed vehicles, on board boats, on the beach, in direct sunlight, or near heating equipment. Failure to observe this precaution may make the case vulnerable to water entry.
  • The case is not guaranteed waterproof if struck, dropped, placed under heavy objects, or otherwise subjected to strong pressure or violent physical shocks or vibration. If the case does suffer a fall or other physical shock, take it to Nikon-authorized service personnel and have it tested to make sure that it is still waterproof. Note that a fee will be charged for this service.
  • Damage due to user error is not covered under warranty.

Shock-Proofing

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.

Operating Environment

Note the following precautions:

  • At low temperatures, the camera may not perform as expected immediately after being turned on and battery performance may drop. Keep spare batteries in a warm location and exchange as necessary.
  • In cold environments, remove any snow or rain immediately. The controls may become difficult to operate if allowed to freeze.
  • Prolonged contact with cold metal can damage exposed skin. Wear gloves when handling the case for extended periods at low temperatures.
  • 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:

  • When moving from one location to another that is noticeable warmer or colder, leave the camera in the case until it has reached the same temperature as its surroundings.

  • Place the supplied desiccant (silica gel) in the case with the camera as directed on page 14 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.

0-Rings

Observe the following precautions when handling O-rings:

  • 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 not designated for use in this product.
  • To prevent damage to the O-ring, use the O-ring remover when removing the ring 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 silicon grease designated for use with this product (25). Do not use COOLPIX or NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease) or other types of silicon grease.

Changes in Altitude

Changing air pressure due to changes in altitude may damage case or prevent the case from opening. Observe the following precautions:

  • 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.
  • When travelling from high to low altitudes, open the case periodically to equalize the pressure.

When removing the camera, be careful not to drop the device and make sure that droplets from your hair, body, or other objects do not fall into the case or onto the camera. If water does fall onto the camera or into the waterproof case, dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Be sure that your hands are dry and free from salt or sand before handling the camera or battery.

Keep the case upright; do not place the open case with the O-ring or O-ring seal face down.

4 Soak the case in fresh water.

Reseal the case and leave it in a basin of fresh water for two to three hours. Operate each of the controls a few times to remove salt. If salt drys on the controls, they may cease to function or their metal parts may rust, causing the case to leak.

Do Not Expose 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 case or O-ring to deteriorate, resulting in leakage.

Cleaning the Interior of the Case

Use a blower, brush, or a damp, soft cloth to remove foreign objects from the interior of the case. Liquid can be removed with a damp, soft cloth. When using a cloth, be careful not to scratch the case; do not use unnecessary force. Do not use water, detergents, or chemical agents of any kind. Water can damage the coating on the inside of the lens window.

Maintenance

This section describes how to maintain the O-ring and waterproof case.

Caring for the O-Ring

The WP-N3 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 objects on the O-ring each time the case is opened, however briefly.

1 Remove the O-ring.

Use the O-ring remover to remove the O-ring as shown.

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 Inspect the O-ring.

Remove old silicon grease and other foreign objects with a soft 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.

3 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.

4 Grease the O-ring.

If the O-ring is not properly greased, it may crack or peel, causing leaks. Grease the ring if the surface appears dry. First, squeeze about a centimeter (half an inch) of silicon grease into a plastic bag and use your fingers to spread the grease throughout the bag (1). Next, insert the O-ring and massage the bag to coat the ring (2). Use only grease designated for use with the WP-N3. Do not apply grease using cloth or paper, as these may leave fibers on the O-ring. Note that applying too much grease may cause foreign objects 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 or twisting and without protruding from the guide.

O-Rings

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 silicon grease designated for use in this product; replacement O-rings and silicon grease can be purchased from a Nikon camera retailer or Nikon-authorized service agent. Do not use COOLPIX or NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease).

Cleaning

Do not use detergents or volatile chemicals such as alcohol or thinner when cleaning the case or O-ring. 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 deteriorating. When leaving the case unused for an extended period, remove the O-ring, remove all old silicon grease, apply fresh silicon grease, and place the O-ring in a clean plastic bag to ensure that it maintains its 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. Do not store the case or O-ring under other objects, close to open flames, in the vicinity of flammable items, or with naphtha or camphor moth balls.

En

Servicing

Nikon recommends that the case be serviced by a Nikon-authorized service representative at least once a year. A fee is charged for this service.
