Case for only three
seconds.
In case of trouble with the O-ring,
three seconds are enough for water

coming out between the lids?
Please check carefully.

Check that no water
has entered into the
Case.
Remove the Case from the water and
check that no water has accumulated at
the bottom of the Case.
