3 In order to avoid deformation of the O-ring when the Case is not
used for a long time, remove the O-ring from the Case, apply a
thin coat of the special grease, and store the O-ring in a clean
plastic bag. For reuse, confirm that the O-ring is free of damage
and cracks, that it has sufficient elasticity, that the surface is
free of stickiness and other abnormalities, and use it after
applying a thin coat of the special grease. Excessive application
of grease does not improve the waterproof function or the
permissible withstand pressure. It will cause sand and dust to
adhere more easily. A thin, uniform coat produces the best
result.
4 The O-ring is a consumable part. Replace it at least once a
year.
5 Deterioration of the O-ring is accelerated by the use conditions
and the storage conditions. Replace the O-ring immediately with
a new one if it shows signs of damage, crack or loss of elasticity.
Q10: What are the important points for Case maintenance?
A10: Pay special attention to the following items.
1 Never use the following chemicals for cleaning, corrosion
protection, defogging, repair or other purposes.
• Never use alcohol, thinner, benzene or similar volatile
organic solvents or chemical detergents to clean the Case.
Pure water or lukewarm water is sufficient for cleaning.
• Do not use anticorrosion agents on the metal parts. The
metal parts are made of aluminum, brass or stainless steel.
Cleaning with pure water is sufficient.
• Do not use commercial defogging agents. Always use the
genuine Olympus defogging silica gel.
• Do not use adhesive for repairs or other purposes. When
repair is required, please contact a service station of our
company or your dealer.
Q11: Please tell me about repairs.
A11: When repair is required, please contact a service station of our
company or your dealer. Do not try to repair, disassemble or modify
the Case yourself. Repair, disassembly or modification by you or
third parties not authorized by Olympus invalidates the guarantee.
