Notes on Using the Waterproof Case
Correctly
• Do not use or store the waterproof case at temperatures above
+40 °C/+104 °F.
• Do not use in water above +40 °C/+104 °F, since it may leak.
• When the waterproof case is closed at high altitudes such as on high
mountains, or carried by plane, it may be hard to open it on the ground.
In such case, insert a plastic card or something similar, of which tip is not
pointed, into the joint of the waterproof case.
• Do not use thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other volatile chemicals for
cleaning. Applying any such chemicals to the waterproof case may cause
damage to its surface, and it will crack under high pressure.
• Do not strike or subject the waterproof case to impacts.
• Do not throw the waterproof case into the water.
• When you use waterproof case in seawater, wash it, while still tightly closed,
in a bucketful of fresh water to rinse off the salt. Then dry the outside of the
case, using a dry, soft piece of cloth.
• This product is designed to be used under water as a waterproof case. Do
not leave it or store it with the camera still inside: the battery may leak or
even cause a fire.
■ To avoid water leaks
If this case leaks while using it and soaks the digital camera inside, the camera
cannot be repaired. Take the following precautions before use.
• The standard life of the waterproof sealing is about one year, though it
depends on operating conditions. Replace the waterproof sealing with a
new one once a year.
• Any foreign particles caught in the waterproof sealing may cause a water
leak. Wipe them off, making sure that no lint remains stuck to the waterproof
sealing. If a foreign particle cannot easily be removed, try washing it off with
water.
• If the waterproof sealing is scratched, cracked, discolored or deformed,
replace it with a new one.
• When replacing the waterproof sealing, first clean the groove for the
waterproof sealing and check that it is free of grains of sand, dust, hair, and
other foreign particles.
• If the waterproof sealing is not seated correctly, a water leak may occur.
When mounting the waterproof sealing, take care that it stays in the groove
and does not become twisted (p.17).
• Do not leave the waterproof case in direct sunlight in summer, in a closed
vehicle, or near heating equipment. Do not apply any long-term external
force to the waterproof case. Deformation caused by heat or force may
cause a loss of water-proofing, making it unusable for use under water.
• Be careful not to damage the waterproof sealing or the face that contacts it
by banging them together or letting foreign particles (sand, dust or hair) get
between them.
