2. Advance check of the Case
Advance test before use
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 diving, always perform the following advance test and the water leakage test after installation of
the camera.
Check the waterproof parts of the Case
Check the waterproof parts of the Case as described below.
1
Ensure that the Case’s O-rings are firmly attached and secured with the slide lock and the open/close
dial.
2
Ensure that the separately available Waterproof Port is installed correctly, and that the Waterproof
Port is attached firmly to the O-ring between the Waterproof Port and Case.
3
Ensure that the O-ring of the TTL cable connector is attached firmly and that the cap is screwed into
the connector without loosening.
Advance test
1
Before loading the digital camera in the Case, immerse the empty Case at depth you intend to use it
and make sure there is no water leakage.
2
Main causes of water leakage are as follows.
• Forgetting to install the O-ring
• Part of an O-ring or an entire O-ring is outside the specified groove.
• O-ring damage, cracks, deterioration or deformation
• Sand, fibers, hair or other foreign matter sticking to the O-ring, the O-ring groove or the O-ring
contact surface.
• Damage to an O-ring groove or O-ring contact surface.
• Attached strap or silica gel getting caught when closing the Case.
Perform the test after the above causes have been eliminated.
CAUTION:
• The most suitable method for checking water leakage is to immerse the Case to the intended water depth.
When this is difficult, water leakage also can be checked at a shallow depth with no water pressure. Do not
feel that this is troublesome, but perform this test.
• If the advance test should show water leakage with normal handling, stop using the Case and contact your
dealer or an Olympus service station.
