Advance check before use 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. Remove the O-ring 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. Remove any sand, dirt, etc. 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 lint-free 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.If the advance test should show water leakage with normal handling, stop using the Case and contact your dealer or an Olympus service station.• 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. PT-EP14_EN.Book 37 ページ ２０１６年７月１４日　木曜日　午後４時３分EN 38

How to apply grease to the O-ring Install the O-ring Confirm that no foreign matter is in the gap and then fit the O-ring. At this time, confirm that the O-ring does not stick out from the groove. When sealing this product, make sure that no hairs, fibers, sand particles or other foreign matter stick not only to the O-ring, but also to the contact surface (front cover). Even a single hair or a single grain of sand may cause water leakage. Please check with special care. 1 Apply only Olympus exclusive lubricant to each O-ring. Make sure that your fingers and the O-ring are free of dirt, then squeeze the appropriate amount of exclusive lubricant onto a finger to spread onto the entire circumference of the O- ring (approx. 15 mm is adequate). 2 Spread the lubricant onto the entire circumference of the O-ring. Spread the grease onto the entire circumference of the O-ring using 3 fingers. Be careful not to use excessive force as this may stretch the O-ring. 3 Check that the O-ring is free of scratches or unevenness. After spreading the lubricant, check visually and by touch that the O-ring is not scratched and that its surface is flat. If it is damaged in any way, replace it with a brand-new O-ring.

• Always perform maintenance of the waterproof function even when the Case has been opened every shooting. Neglecting this maintenance may become the cause of water leakage.

• When the Case is not to be used for a long time, remove the O-ring from the groove to prevent deformation of the O-ring, apply a thin coat of silicone grease, and store it in a clean plastic bag or the like.
