Maintaining The Waterproof Function; Remove The O-Ring; Remove Any Sand, Dirt, Etc - Olympus PFL-01 Instruction Manual

6. Maintaining the Waterproof Function

Remove the O-ring.

Open the Case and remove the O-ring from the Case.
Removal of the O-ring
Insert the O-ring removal pick between the O-ring and the wall of
the O-ring groove.
Move the tip of the inserted pick under the O-ring. (Take care not
to damage the O-ring groove with the tip of the pick.)
Hold the O-ring with your fingertips after it has come out of the
groove and remove it from the Case.

Remove any sand, dirt, etc.

After visually checking that dirt has been removed from the O-ring,
checking for attached sand and other foreign matter, as well as for
damage and cracks can be done by squeezing the entire circumference
of the O-ring lightly with your fingertips.
Using a clean cloth free of fibers, etc., a piece of lint-free tissue paper
or a soft toothbrush, remove any foreign matter attached to the grooves
of the O-rings. Also remove sand and dirt particles attached to the O-
ring contact surfaces on the case.
