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.
Advance Test
1. Before installing the digital camera in the Case, immerse the empty Case to
the intended water depth to confirm that there is no water leakage.
2. Main causes of water leakage are as follows.
• The O-ring has not been installed.
• A part of the O-ring or the 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 on the rear lid
• Damage to the O-ring groove or the O-ring contact surface on the rear
lid
• When closing the Case, check for catching of the hand strap and silica
gel after the above causes have been eliminated.
: • 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 (listed on the rear page of this
instruction manual).
