Handling the O-ring
O-ring
The O-ring ensures the waterproof qualities of this unit or other equipment. (See
illustration )
O-ring maintenance is very important. Failure to carry out O-ring
maintenance according to the instructions may lead to water leakage and
cause this unit to sink.
Handling the O-ring 

To remove the O-ring, press it and slide it in the direction of the arrow as
ˎ
illustrated. The O-ring has enough slack to be able to be removed easily.
ˎ Be careful not to scratch the O-ring with your fingernails.
Do not use a pointed or metal object to remove the O-ring. This kind of object
ˎ
may scratch or damage this unit groove or O-ring.

any dirt, sand, hair, dust, salt,
1
threads, etc. on the O-ring. If
found, be sure to wipe off with a
soft cloth or tissue paper.

Carefully remove any grains of sand or hardened salt that get into the groove.
4 Inspect the contact surface with the O-ring on the front side of this unit in
the same way.
5 Coat the O-ring with supplied grease.
Use your fingertips to thinly coat the entire surface of the O-ring with
ˎ
drop of grease. (-2)
ˎ Make sure there is always a thin coating of grease on the surface of the O-ring.
Grease protects the O-ring and prevents wear.
Grease

Fit the O-ring evenly into the groove paying attention to the following points:
Check for dirt on the O-ring.
–

Desiccant
Insert one new desiccant into this unit 1 to 2 hours before recording. Put the desiccant
in the camera mounting shoe rail space inside the front body. (See illustration ) Be
careful not to catch the desiccant with the camera mounting shoe. Keep the remaining
desiccant in its original bag, and keep the bag firmly closed. Do not return the desiccant
to the bag after use, or you will reduce the effect of the unused desiccant. If you fully dry
the desiccant, it can be used about 200 times. Use a new desiccant to increase the anti-
fogging effect. Do not leave the desiccant in this unit after use.
