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.
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.
How to Apply Grease to the O-ring
In order to apply a thin coat of silicone grease uniformly to the O-ring, squeeze
about 5 mm from the tube of the accessory grease into a clean plastic bag and
knead the bag well. Then put the O-ring into the bag and knead it well to apply
the grease uniformly to the O-ring. When the plastic bag is clean, it can be
used repeatedly. A size of about 10 cm x 20 cm is suitable for the plastic bag.
：・ 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 to be feared
that a function impairment will be caused. After use, always
wash off any salt.
