E-17

Advance Test1. Before installing the digital camera in the Case, immerse the empty

Case to the intended water depth to confirm that there is no waterleakage.

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, O-

ring groove or O-ring contact surface.� Damage to the O-ring groove or O-ring contact surface.� 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 leakageis to immerse the Case to the intended water depth.When this is difficult, water leakage also can bechecked at a shallow depth with no water pressure. Donot feel that this is troublesome, but perform this test.

• If the advance test should show water leakage withnormal handling, stop using the Case and contactyour dealer or an Olympus service station.
