Should the product break as the result
of a fall or other accident, take it to a
Nikon-authorized service representative
for inspection, being careful not to injure yourself on the broken parts.
Observe proper precautions when han-
dling camera batteries
If improperly handled, batteries may
emit gases that will collect inside the
waterproof case, where they may cause
explosion or fi re. Observe the following precautions when handling camera
batteries:
• Use only rechargeable Nikon EN-EL5
lithium-ion batteries.
• Batteries are prone to leakage when
fully discharged. Remove the camera
from the case when not in use.
• Should water enter the case, remove
the battery from the camera immediately.
• Keep the battery terminals dry. Failure
to observe this precaution could result
in injury or product malfunction.
Do not swallow silica gel or O-ring grease
The silica gel desiccant and O-ring
grease used in this product are not
edible.
Keep out of direct sunlight
Do not leave the WP-CP2 in direct
sunlight. The case could focus sunlight,
causing fi re.
i
Do not dive while holding
To prevent injury caused by the case
striking the body, do not jump or dive
into water while holding the WP-CP2.
Do not use below 40 m
Do not use at depths below 40 m (130´).
Failure to observe this precaution could
result in leakage or other malfunction.
Keep the case watertight
Do not clean the case with a high-pressure jet. Do not open the case where it
would be exposed to dust or sand, and
be sure to remove any foreign objects
from the O-ring and any parts of the
case that are in contact with the Oring before closing the case. Failure to
observe these precautions could result
in leakage.
Do not exposure to high temperatures
Do not expose the product to temperatures over 40 °C (104 °F). Failure to
observe this precaution could cause the
product to warp, resulting in leakage.
Observe caution when operating the
fl ash
Using the fl ash close to your subject’s
eyes could cause temporary visual
impairment. Particular care should
be observed if photographing infants,
when the fl ash should be no less than
one meter (39˝) from the subject.
ii
Cautions
To ensure continued enjoyment of your Nikon product, observe the following
precautions when storing or using the device.
Preventing Leakage
WATER INSIDE THE CASE COULD NOT ONLY EXPOSE THE CAMERA TO IRREPARABLE DAMAGE BUT ALSO RE SULT
IN FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR EXPOSURE TO POISONOUS GASES. THE ENTRY OF WATER INTO THE CASE CAN BE
PREVENTED BY OBSERVING THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS:
Before using the WP-CP2 in or near water, test for leaks as described on pages 6–7
and 12 of this manual.
• Before sealing the case, examine the O-ring, watertight channel, and any parts of
the case that are in contact with the O-ring carefully to ensure that they are free of
dirt, hair, lint, dust, sand, and other foreign objects. Make sure that the O-ring is not
twisted or out of position.
• The O-ring requires periodic replacement. Replace the O-ring immediately if it is damaged, cracked, warped, or has lost elasticity. O-rings should be replaced at least once
a year; do not use a worn O-ring or a type of O-ring or O-ring grease not designated
for use in this product. Do not use NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease).
• Be careful not to damage the O-ring when removing it from the case. Do not use
metal objects or objects with sharp points when removing the O-ring.
• Do not use force when removing or positioning the O-ring. Excessive force may permanently stretch the ring, causing the case to leak.
• To prevent wear, use only COOLPIX O-ring grease designated for use with this product. Do not use NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease) or other types of O-ring grease.
• Do not open the waterproof case in areas exposed to spray, high winds, dust, or
sand.
• Do not drop the case, place under heavy objects, or subject to excessive force. Failure
to observe this precaution could cause the case to warp, resulting in leakage.
• In the event of leakage, stop use immediately, dry the camera and the interior of the
case, and take the camera and case to a Nikon-authorized service representative.
Shock and Vibration
The waterproof case is not designed to protect the camera from blows or vibration. Do
not drop the case, strike it against hard objects, throw it into the water, jump into the
water holding the case, or leave the case in an area subject to extreme vibration. Failure
to observe these precautions could result in damage to the camera.
Maximum Depth
The WP-CP2 is waterproof to 40 m (130´). At greater depths, the case could leak,
break, or change shape, resulting in damage to the camera.
iii
Temperature
Do not leave the case in areas exposed to high temperatures, such as inside a car, near
a heater, on a beach, or in direct sunlight. Failure to observe this precaution could
weaken or warp the case, resulting in damage to the camera. Sudden changes in
temperature could result in condensation inside the case, which could also damage the
camera. To prevent condensation:
• Before exposing the case to sudden changes in temperature, place it in a sealed plastic
bag. Do not open the bag until the case has reached the same temperature as its
surroundings.
• Place the supplied desiccant (silica gel) in the case with the camera as directed on
page 10 of this manual.
• Do not expose the case to high temperatures by leaving it on the beach or in direct
sunlight before entering the water.
Chemicals
• Do not expose the case to volatile chemicals or their vapors. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in damage to the case.
• Do not use chemical detergents, rust inhibitors, thinner, alcohol, or other volatile
chemicals when cleaning the case. Wash in fresh water only.
• Use only desiccants designated for use with this product (see page 19).
• Use only COOLPIX O-ring grease designated for use with this product (see page 19).
Do not use NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease).
• Do not use sealants or anti-fog chemicals.
• Do not handle the case after applying sunscreen. Sunscreen can damage the clear
plastic parts of the case.
• Do not apply stickers to the case, as the adhesive could cause the case to deteriorate.
Travelling by Air
If possible, include the case in your carry-on baggage when travelling by air. When
packing the case with checked luggage, leave the case open or remove the O-ring. If
the case is sealed, changes in air pressure may damage the case or prevent the case
from opening.
High Altitudes
When travelling from high to low altitudes, open the case periodically to equalize the
pressure. If the case is kept sealed, changes in air pressure may damage the case or
prevent the case from opening.
