may deteriorate.
3. Opening and closing at locations with much sand, dust, or dirt may impair the
waterproof characteristic and cause water leakage. This should be avoided.
4. This product has been designed and manufactured for use at a water depth
within 40 m. Please note that diving to a depth in excess of 40 m may cause
permanent deformation or damage to the Case and the camera inside the

the rear lid.
7. If the camera on the inside should become wet because of water leakage etc.,
immediately wipe off all moisture and confirm the operation.
8. Please remove the O-ring when traveling by air. Otherwise air pressure may
make it impossible to open the Case.
9. For safe use of the digital camera in this product, please read the "Instruction
Manual" for the digital camera carefully.
10. When sealing this product, take sufficient care that no foreign matter gets
caught at the O-ring and the contact surfaces.
Batteries
● This protector uses the LCD monitor of the installed digital camera
for shooting. Accordingly, the battery is exhausted faster than in
case of shooting without use of the LCD monitor.
● Please use two lithium battery packs CR-V3 (our model LB-01).
This is recommended because of its long life.
● When size AA batteries are used, alkaline batteries and Nicad
batteries cannot exhibit their abilities at low temperatures. We
recommend the use of Olympus Ni-H batteries. They are effective
even when used at low temperatures, and as they can be used
repeatedly, they are economical.
● Batteries are subject to self-discharging. Always use fresh
batteries. Use a battery charger after recharging.
● Take care that the battery electrodes do not become wet. This may
cause trouble or accidents.
● Carefully read the instruction manual for the camera about other
cautions regarding batteries.
E-3
For Prevention of Water Leakage Accidents
When water leakage occurs while this product is being used, repair of the camera
housed in this product may become impossible. Please observe the following
cautions for use.
1. When sealing this product, make sure that no hairs, fibers, sand particles or
other foreign matter stick not only to the O-ring, but also to the contact surface
(flat part of the front cover). Even a single hair or a single grain of sand may
cause water leakage. Please check with special care.
<Examples for foreign matter sticking to the O-ring>
Hair Fibers Grains of sand
2. The O-ring is a consumption product. Please replace it at least once a year by
new one. Also perform maintenance for every use.
3. Deterioration of the O-ring will progress according to the use conditions and
the storage conditions. Immediately replace the O-ring by a new one if it is
damaged, shows cracks, or has lost its elasticity.
4. At the time of O-ring maintenance, clean the inside of the O-ring groove and
confirm the absence of dirt, dust, sand, and other foreign matter.
5. Apply the specified silicone O-ring grease to the O-ring.
6. The waterproof function is not effective when the O-ring is not installed
correctly. When installing the O-ring, take care that it does not project from the
groove and that it is not twisted. Also, when sealing the Case, close the lid
after confirming that the O-ring has not come out of the groove.
7. This product is an airtight construction made of plastic (polycarbonate). When
it is left for a long time in a car, on a boat, at the beach, or at other places
reaching a high temperature, or when it is subjected for a long time to uneven
external force, it may be deformed and the waterproof function may be lost.
Pay sufficient attention to temperature control. Also do not place heavy
objects onto the product during storage or transport, and avoid unreasonable
storage.
E-4
8. When the O-ring contact surface is pressed strongly from the outside of the
Case, or when the Case is twisted, the waterproof function may be lost. Take
care not to exert excessive force.
9. Please use the Case after performing the advance test and the final check.
If you should notice drops of water or other signs of water leakage while taking
10.
pictures, immediately stop the dive, remove any water from the camera and
the product, test according to the item "Final check", and confirm whether
leakage has occurred or not.
Handling the Product
● Use or storage of the product at the following locations may cause
defective operation, defects, trouble, damage, fire, internal
clouding, or water leakage. Always avoid these locations.
• Locations reaching high temperatures such as those under direct
sunlight, in an automobile, etc.
• Locations with open fire
• Water depths in excess of 40 m
• Locations subject to vibrations
• Locations with high temperatures and much dust or with severe
temperature changes
• Locations with volatile substances
● This product is made of polycarbonate resin with excellent impact
resistance, but it may be damaged by scraping against rocks etc. It
also may break when it hits hard objects or is dropped.
● This product is not a case to soften impacts to the camera inside
the product. When this product with a digital camera inside it is
subjected to impacts or heavy objects are placed onto it, the digital
camera may become damaged. Please handle the product with
sufficient care.
● When the product is not used for a long time, the waterproof
performance may drop because of deterioration of the O-ring etc.
Before use, always perform the advance test and the final check.
● Do not apply excessive force to the tripod socket.
● When a flash is used while the Case is being used, shadows may
appear at the edges of the picture. This is especially notable when
taking pictures in macro mode on the wide-angle side. Please use
a flash after image confirmation.
E-5
● Do not use the following chemicals for cleaning, corrosion
prevention, prevention of fogging, repair or other purposes. When
these are used for the Case directly or indirectly (with the
chemicals in vaporized state), they may cause cracking under high
pressure or other problems.
Chemicals which cannot be used
Volatile organic solvents,
chemical detergents
Anticorrosion agent
Commercial defogging
agents
Grease other than specified
silicone grease
Adhesive
Explanation
Do not clean the Case with alcohol, gasoline, thinner
or other volatile organic solvents or with chemical
detergents etc. Pure water or lukewarm water is
sufficient.
Do not use anticorrosion agents. The metal parts use
stainless steel or brass, and washing with pure water
is sufficient.
Do not use commercial defogging agents. Always
use the specified desiccant silica gel.
Use only the specified silicone grease for the silicone
O-ring, as otherwise the O-ring surface may
deteriorate and water leakage may be caused.
Do not use adhesive for repairs or other purposes.
When repair is required, please contact a dealer or a
service station of our company.
● Do not perform operations other than specified in this instruction
manual, do not remove or modify parts other than specified, and do
not use parts other than specified.
Any troubles in taking pictures or with the equipment resulting from
the above actions shall be outside the guarantee.
● Our company shall be in no way responsible for accidents involving
immersion of a digital camera in water.
● Our company shall not pay any compensation for accidents (injury
or material damage) at the time of use.
● When the enclosure of the balance weight breaks, the metal on the
inside may corrode. Take care not to damage the enclosure.
● After use, wash the balance weight with pure water and wipe off all
moisture sufficiently.
