(1) Do not open and close the Case at locations with water spray or sand spray.
(2) Wipe off all waterdrops from the gap between the front lid and the rear lid and around
projections and recesses such as the buckles. When this is not done, entry of
waterdrops into the Case is to be feared at the time of opening and closing.
(3) When opening the case, make sure no water from outside (e.g. dripping from your
hair or diving suit) gets inside the case and/or on the flash!
(4) When the Case is open, check that there is no attachment of sand, fibers or other
foreign matter to the O-ring and the O-ring contact surface.
(5) Never touch the flash with a hand wet with sea water.
(6) If you notice while diving that water has entered the case, stop the dive immediately and
perform water leak test to check for water penetration. If any water has reached the
electronic flash, do not use it, dry it immediately and contact your dealer or Olympus.
Ｑ５ ： How to handle the case after use?
Ａ５ ： After using the case, remove the flash and rinse the case off in pure water as soon as
possible. After use in salt water, you should immerse the case for an extended period
of time in pure water. Operate the mode dial knob and buttons of the case when it is
in clean tap water to remove any salt from their shafts. After rinsing, remove moisture
with a dry cloth free of salt, and dry the case in the shade. Never use hot air from a
hair dryer or other appliances to dry the case, and never place it in direct sunlight to
dry, as this could deform, discolor, damage or deteriorates the case and O-rings. The
inner side of the case should be wiped with a soft, lint-free cloth. Remove the O-rings,
wipe off the attached foreign matter such as salt, sand and dirt, also clean the
grooves in which O-rings have been fit and the surfaces in contact with O-rings, and
dry all of them. When removing an O-ring from the groove, do not use a sharp object
to avoid damaging the O-ring and causing leaks. Be always sure to use the provided
pick for removing the O-ring.
Ｑ６ ：What points should be considered when using the case underwater?
Ａ６ ：Please remember the following points.
(1) Install the Case properly on a bracket or arm.
(2) Adjust the case orientation so that the flash light is not obstructed.
(3) Set the flash mode to TTL AUTO or MANUAL. (For the camera setup in these modes,
refer to the instruction manual for the camera or flash.)
Ｑ７ ：How can I check for water leakage?
Ａ７ ：Here you should carry out the first check and the final system check with the flash
inside the case.
It is also recommended that you carry out the first check by diving to the intended
depth with the empty case. If this is not possible, this test should be carried out at a
depth of at least one meter or in a container of water (e.g. a bath, bucket, etc.). The
final system check can then be carried out in a similar container of water.
