confirm that the O-ring is free of damage and cracks, that it has sufficient
elasticity, that the surface is free of stickiness and other abnormalities,
and use it after applying a thin coat of the special grease. Excessive
application of grease does not improve the waterproof function or the
permissible withstand pressure. However, it may facilitate attachment of
sand, dirt, etc.
A thin, uniform coat produces the best result.
(4) The O-ring is a consumable product. Replace it at least once a year.
(5) Deterioration of the O-ring is accelerated by the use conditions and the
storage conditions. Replace the O-ring immediately by a new one if it
shows signs of damage, cracking or loss of elasticity.
Q10: What are the important points for Case maintenance?
A10: Please observe the following items.
(1) Never use the following chemicals for cleaning, corrosion protection,
defogging, repair or other purposes.
• Never use alcohol, thinner, benzene or similar volatile organic solvents
or chemical detergents to clean the Case. Pure water or lukewarm water
is sufficient for cleaning.
• Do not use anticorrosion agents on the metal parts. The metal parts are
made of aluminum, brass or stainless steel. Cleaning with pure water is
sufficient.

Olympus defogging silica gel.

required, please contact a service station of our company or your dealer.
Q11: Please tell me about repairs.
A11: Please contact a service station of our company or your dealer, if repair
should be necessary. Do not try to repair, disassemble or modify the
Case yourself. Repair, disassembly or modification by you or third
parties not authorized by Olympus invalidates the guarantee.
