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.
:
• 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.
