eliminate worry about possible entry of water! Always perform this test. It can be
performed easily in a water tank or a bathtub. The required time is about five minutes.

Hints
1
Place the Case slowly
into the water. As the Case is transparent, waterdrops
entering into it can be confirmed easily.
2
At first, immerse the
Case for only three
seconds.
In case of trouble with the O-ring, three
seconds are enough for water to enter.
Are there air bubbles coming out
between the lids?
Please check carefully.
3
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.
Is there any water trickling down?
4
Next, immerse the
Case for 30 seconds.
Check carefully for air bubbles!
Do not perform any operation yet, but
just observe.
5
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.
Perform very careful confirmation.
6
Next, check by
immersing for three
minutes.
Check carefully for air bubbles!
Try operation of the all buttons, levers
and dials. Check carefully for air bubbles!
If there is still no entry of water,
everything is OK!
7
This is the final check.
Has the silica gel
become moist?
This is very important!
Has the silica gel become moist?
Please check carefully! As the inside can
be seen, the inspection for entry of water
also can be made easily!

Now everything is all
right. Now everything is all right!
HAVE A NICE DIVE!
