（b）Dropping
（c）Placing heavy objects on top of the Case
（4）When the Case is not used for a long time, trouble from formation of

operation parts and perform the advance test and the final test.
Ｑ４：What cautions must be observed when opening and closing the Case?
Ａ４：Pay special attention to the following items.
（1）Do not open and close the Case at locations with water spray or sand
spray.
（2）Wipe off all waterdrops from the gap between the front lid and the rear
lid and around projections and recesses such as the buckles. When this
is not done, entry of waterdrops into the Case is to be feared at the time
of opening and closing.
（3）When opening the Case, take care that no water will drip from your hair
or body into the Case or onto the camera.
（4）When the Case is open, check that there is no attachment of sand,
fibers or other foreign matter to the O-ring and the O-ring contact
surface on the front lid.
（5）Do not touch the camera or the image storage with your hands to which
sea water is sticking.
（6）If you should detect waterdrops or other signs of water leakage while
shooting, immediately end the dive, perform the water leakage test
again, and confirm that there is no leakage. If the camera is wet, wipe
off any moisture and check the operation.
Ｑ５：How should the Case be handled after use?
Ａ５：After use, take out the camera as soon as possible and wash the Case
with pure water. In case of use in the ocean, it is effective to immerse
the Case for a certain time in pure water to remove any salt. Operate
the buttons and levers under water to turn the shafts and wash off any
salt. After washing, use a dry cloth without any salt on it to wipe off any
moisture and dry the Case in the shade. Do not use hot air from a hair
drier or the like and do not dry the Case under direct sunlight. Exposure
to high temperatures or direct sunlight may cause deformation,
discoloration or breakage of the Case and deterioration of the O-ring.
