2. Advance Check of the Case

Advance test before use

This Case has been the subject of thorough quality control for the parts

during the manufacturing process and thorough function inspections during

the assembly. In addition, a water pressure test is performed with a water

pressure tester for all products to confirm that the performance conforms to

the specifications. However, depending on the carrying and storage

conditions, the maintenance status, etc., the waterproof function may be

damaged.

Before diving, always perform the following advance test and the water

leakage test after installation of the camera.

Advance Test

1. Before installing the digital camera in the Case, immerse the empty Case to

the intended water depth to confirm that there is no water leakage.

2. Main causes of water leakage are as follows.

• The O-ring has not been installed.

• A part of the O-ring or the entire O-ring is outside the specified groove.

• O-ring damage, cracks, deterioration or deformation

• Sand, fibers, hair or other foreign matter sticking to the O-ring, the O-

ring groove or the O-ring contact surface on the rear lid

• Damage to the O-ring groove or the O-ring contact surface on the rear

lid

• When closing the Case, check for catching of the hand strap and silica

gel after the above causes have been eliminated.

: • The most suitable method for checking water leakage is to

immerse the Case to the intended water depth. When this is

difficult, water leakage also can be checked at a shallow

depth with no water pressure. Do not feel that this is

troublesome, but perform this test.

• If the advance test should show water leakage with normal

handling, stop using the Case and contact your dealer or an

Olympus service station (listed on the rear page of this

instruction manual).
