operation parts and perform the advance test and the final test.
(5) When not using this case, be sure to take the flash out.
Q4 : What cautions must be observed when opening and closing the Case?
A4 : Pay special attention to the following items.
(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) Mount the case properly on a commercially available bracket or arm.
(2) Adjust the case orientation so that the flash light is not obstructed.
