Insertion of silica gel

Before sealing the Case, insert the accessory silica gel bag (for
prevention of fogging) between the bottom of the camera and the
Case. Insert the bag with the glued longer side to the inside.

:

• Insert the silica gel all the way at the specified location and

with the specified orientation. When the orientation is not
correct, the silica gel bag will be caught when the Case is
sealed and water leakage will be caused.

• Attempting to seal the Case with the bag inserted only part of

the way will cause the silica gel bag to get caught by the O-ring
and water leakage will occur.

• Once silica gel has been used, the moisture absorption

performance will be impaired. Always exchange the silica
gel when the Case is opened and closed.

CAUTION

Set the mode dial.

After the digital camera has been loaded,
push down the mode dial of the Case from
the upper surface of the Case.  Set it so that
the lower part of the mode dial on the inside
of the Case fits properly onto the upper part
of the mode dial of the digital camera itself.
Also, load the camera so that the power
switch of the digital camera fits into the
power switch lever notch on the inside of the
protector.

Advice • After setting the mode dial of the Case, set the power of the digital

camera to 'OFF', and before sealing the Case, operate the mode dial
and confirm that the mode of the digital camera is switched.

Pay attention to the orientation.
