Replace consumable products.
・
The O-ring is a consumable product. Independent of the number of times the Case is used, it
is recommended that the O-ring should be replaced by a new one at least once a year.
・
Deterioration of the O-ring is accelerated by the use conditions and the storage
conditions. Replace the O-ring even before a year has passed if it shows signs of
damage, cracking or loss of elasticity.

Install the O-ring
Confirm that no foreign matter is attached, apply a thin coat of the accessory grease to the O-ring, and

procedure for the flash case.
How to Apply Grease to the O-ring
1
Make sure there is no dirt on your fingers
or on the O-ring; then squeeze about 5
mm of grease onto your fingertip.
2
Spread the grease
over the O-ring.
Using two fingers and a thumb, spread
the grease over the O-ring while rubbing
it in. Use caution not to squeeze or pull
the O-ring too hard.
3
Check that there is
no damage or
irregularities on the
O-ring.
Once the grease has permeated throughout the
O-ring, check it for damage or irregularities (both
visually and by touch). If you notice any
abnormalities, replace the O-ring with a new one.
4
Apply the grease to
the O-ring contact
surface.
Use any residual grease on your fingertips
to clean and lubricate the O-ring contact
surface on the front lid.
：
• Always perform maintenance of the waterproof function even when the Case has
been opened to exchange the battery or the image storage during shooting.
Neglecting this maintenance may become the cause of water leakage.
• When the Case is not to be used for a long time, remove the O-ring from the
groove to prevent deformation of the O-ring, apply a thin coat of silicone grease,
and store it in a clean plastic bag or the like.
• When drying is done with salt attached, it is likely that a function impairment will
be caused. After use, always wash off any salt.
CAUTION
Note
：
Please use original Olympus products for the silicone O-ring grease, the silica
gel, and the O-ring. These consumable products also can be purchased at an
Olympus service station.
