This Case has been the subject of thorough quality control for the parts during the manufacturing
process and thorough function inspections during the assembly. In addition, a water pressure test is
performed with a water pressure tester for all products to confirm that the performance conforms to the
specifications.
However, depending on the carrying and storage conditions, the maintenance status, etc., the
waterproof function may be damaged.
Before using, always perform the following advance checks.
