• Injury from parts of the body getting caught in parts which open and close.

• Swallowing of small parts. Please consult a physician immediately if any parts have been swallowed.

2 Do not store digital camera with batteries inserted in this product.

Storage with a battery inserted may lead to leakage of the battery liquid and fire hazard.

3 The Case must be used in combination with the Waterproof Port available separately. Remember

that the Case cannot be used without the Waterproof Port.

4 If leakage of water should occur with a camera installed in this product, quickly remove the battery

from the camera. There is the possibility of ignition and explosion from generation of hydrogen gas.

5 This product is made of resin. There is the possibility that injuries may be caused when it becomes

broken due to strong impact with a rock or other hard objects. Please handle it with sufficient care.

6 The silica gel and the silicon grease for this product are inedble.

CAUTION

1 Do not disassemble or modify this product. This may cause water leakage or defect. In case of

disassembly or modification by any party other than those appointed by OLYMPUS IMAGING CORP. the guarantee shall not apply.

2 Do not place this product at locations with abnormally high or low temperatures or at locations with

extreme temperature changes. The product 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, or may lead to water leakage.

5 Jumping into the water with the Case in your pocket or in your hand, throwing the Case from a boat

or ship into the water, and other rough handling may cause water leakage. Please handle with sufficient care, when handing it over from hand to hand etc.

6 If the camera on the inside should become wet because of water leakage etc., immediately wipe off

all moisture and confirm the operation.

7 Please remove the O-ring when traveling by air. Otherwise air pressure may make it impossible to

open the Case.

8 For safe use of the digital camera in this product, please read the “Instruction Manual” for the digital

camera carefully.

9 When sealing this product, take sufficient care that no foreign matter gets caught at the O-ring and

the contact surfaces.

0 The camera’s built-in flash cannot be used when the Case is combined with an external Olympus

flash. Also, the camera’s built-in flash cannot be popped up if the hot shoe cable is connected to the camera’s hot shoe. If the built-in flash is forcibly popped up, the connected flash will not work properly and the hot shoe cable may be disconnected from the camera’s hot shoe. In this case, the camera may also be damaged.

a The camera’s built-in flash cannot be used when the camera is in the Case.

EN 2

Batteries

z Use only with an Olympus lithium-ion rechargeable battery (BLM-1) specially for camera use. z Take care that the battery electrodes do not get wet. This may cause trouble or accidents. z Carefully read the instruction manual for the camera about other cautions regarding batteries.

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 use while observing the following cautions. 1 When sealing this product, make sure that no hair, fiber, sand particle or other foreign matter stick to

the O-ring, and also to the contact surface. Even a single strand of hair or a single grain of sand may cause water leakage. Please check with special care.

Examples of foreign matter sticking to the O-ring

Hair Fibers Grains of sand

2 The O-ring is a consumable product. Please replace it at least once a year with a new piece. Before

each use, perform the proper maintenance.

3 Deterioration of the O-ring will accelerate according to the usage conditions and the storage

conditions. Immediately replace the O-ring with a new piece if it is damaged, cracked, or has lost its elasticity.

4 During maintenace of O-ring, clean the inside of the O-ring groove and confirm the absence of dirt,

dust, sand, and other foreign matter.

5 Apply the specified silicon grease to the O-ring. 6 The waterproof function is not effective if 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 to uneven external force for a long time, 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.

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 only after performing the advance test and the final check. 0 If you detect any signs of leakage, such as water drops or fogging, while photographing, get out of

the water immediately and remove any moisture from the camera and the Case. Then perform the leak test described in “Final check”.

EN 3

Handling the Product

z Use or storage of the product at the following locations may cause defective operation, defects,

damage, fire, internal clouding, or water leakage. This should be avoided.

• Places of high temperatures, such as in direct sunlight, in a closed vehicle, etc., and/or where extreme differences in temperatures exist.

• Places with open fire

• Water depths in excess of 40 m

• Places with vibrations

• Places with high temperature and humidity or with severe temperature changes

• Places with volatile substances

z This product is made of polycarbonate resin with excellent impact resistance, but it may be damaged

by rubbing against rocks etc. It also may break when it is hit by hard objects or is dropped.

z This product is not a case to soften impacts to the camera inside the product. When this product with

a digital camera inside is subjected to impact or heavy objects are placed onto it, the digital camera may become damaged. Please handle it with sufficient care.

z 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.

z Be careful not to apply excessive force to the port connector, TTL cable connector, zoom dial or tripod

seat.

z Do not push the air vent valve from inside. z 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

Volatile organic solvents, chemical detergents

Anticorrosion agent

Commercial defogging agents

Grease other than specified silicone grease

Adhesive

z 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 trouble in taking pictures or with the equipment resulting from the above actions shall not be covered by the guarantee.

z OLYMPUS IMAGING CORP. shall in no way be responsible for accidents involving immersion of a

digital camera in water.

z OLYMPUS IMAGING CORP. shall not pay any compensation for accidents (injuries or material

damage) at the time of use.

used

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 for cleaning.

Do not use anticorrosion agents. Pure water is sufficient when washing the metal parts as stainless steel and brass are used.

Do not use commercial defogging agents. Always use the specified desiccant silica gel.

Use only the specified silicone grease for the silicon O-ring, as otherwise the O-ring surface may deteriorate and water leakage may occur.

Do not use adhesive for repairs or other purposes. When repair is required, please contact a dealer or a service station of OLYMPUS IMAGING CORP.
