What is the O-ring?
≥ The O-ring is a waterproofing packing used for underwater cameras, watches and
diving equipment.
≥ The O-ring keeps the Case waterproof by sealing the gap between the rear case
and the front case.
∫ How the O-ring keeps the Case waterproof
Rear Case
Digital Camera
O-ring
Front Case
The gum comes into contact with the sides of the Case making the
Case waterproof and stopping water from entering from the gap.

Water
O-ring
When the O-ring is crushed by water pressure, the surface of
the O-ring expands and the Case is sealed more tightly.
The O-ring prevents water leakage by coming into uniform
contact with the sides of the Case. Theref ore, good care of the
O-ring is very important. Incorrect care of the O-ring may
cause water leakage.

VQT0X68
Preparation -Checking the Case is Waterproof-
After setting the O-ring, check that no water leaks into the Case by
submerging it in a water tank, bath tub etc. for more than about
3 minutes before attaching a digital camera.
≥ Do not use the Case in water over 40 °C. The heat may damage the Case or cause
water leakage.
‘
Carry out the same test after attaching the digital camera to the Case. (P15)
∫
Notes
≥ If bubbles rise from the Case when it is submerged in water or there is water inside
the Case when you take it out the water, there is water leakage. In these cases,
consult your dealer.
≥ If water leaks into the Case while you are using it and the digital camera is
submerged in water, remove the battery immediately. Hydrogen gas can cause
burning or explosion if there is a fire nearby.
≥ If you dive quickly while holding the Case or throw the Case from a ship into the sea,
some water leakage may occur because of high pressure. This is not a malfunction
of the Case. Always dive slowly into the water.
≥ The Case is designed to be used at a depth of up to 40 m. If you dive deeper than
40 m, part of the Case may be damaged beyond repair.
≥ When closing the Case, be careful that no foreign materials get caught between the
O-ring and the O-ring groove. Even one strand of hair or one grain of sand can
cause water leakage.

≥ Bevor Sie die Digitalkamera anbringen, das Gehäuse ca. Drei Minuten oder
länger in Wasser tauchen, um zu überprüfen, ob kein Wasser eindringt.
∫ Zum Umgang mit diesem Gehäuse
≥ Verwendung unter den folgenden Bedingungen:
• Wassertiefe: Bis zu 40 m
• Um g e bungstemper a tur: 0 oC bis 40 oC
≥ Das Gehäuse nicht in Wasser mit einer Temperatur über 40 °C verwenden. Die
Wärme kann das Gehäuse beschädigen oder zum Eindringen von Wasser führen.
≥ Das Gehäuse besteht aus stoßfestem Polykarbonat. Seien Sie jedoch bei der
Benutzung vorsichtig, das es leicht zerkratzt, wenn Bilder an felsigen Stellen, etc.
aufgenommen werden und kann durch Stöße wie durch Herunterfallen o.ä.
beschädigt werden. Bei Reisen im Auto, Schiff, Zug oder Flugzeug, das Gehäuse
gut verpacken, um jegliche direkte Stöße zu vermeiden, falls es herunterfallen sollte
und lassen Sie die Digitalkamera nicht im Gehäuse. Die Digitalkamera nur im
Gehäuse anbringen, wenn Sie diese eine kurze Strecke lang, wie z.B. vom
Flughafen zum Tauchort transportieren. (Das Verpackungsmaterial aus dem Kauf
des Gehäuses kann nicht zum Transportieren verwendet werden.)
≥ Beim Besteigen eines Flugzeugs kann der Wechsel des atmosphärischen Druck zur
Ausdehnung des Gehäuses führen und dadurch zu Beschädigungen. Entfernen Sie
den O-Ring, bevor Sie ein Flugzeug besteigen.
≥ Lassen Sie die Digitalkamera nicht längere Zeit in einem Auto, auf einem
Schiff oder direkter Sonneneinstrahlung ausgesetzt. Das Gehäuse ist eine
luftdichte Vorrichtung, daher wird die Temperatur darin sehr hoch und es
kann zu Funktionsstörungen der Digitalkamera kommen. Lassen Sie die
Temperatur im Gehäuse nicht zu hoch werden.

Vor der Verwendung (Fortsetzung)
∫ Verwendung des Gehäuses bei hohen oder
niedrigen Temperaturen
≥ Wenn Sie das Gehäuse an feuchten oder heißen Orten öffnen und dann an einen
kühlen Ort oder unter Wasser bringen, kann es im Inneren des Gehäuses zu
Kondensation kommen, die Glasfläche sich trüben und die Digitalkamera
beschädigt werden.
≥ Wenn Sie das Gehäuse plötzlich von einem kalten Ort oder kaltem Wasser an einen
warmen Ort bringen, kann die Oberfläche sich trüben. Warten Sie mit dem
Aufnehmen von Bildern, bis sich das Gehäuse der Lufttemperatur angepasst hat.
∫ Zur Vorbereitung
≥ Öffnen oder schließen Sie das Gehäuse nicht, wo es Wasserspritzern
ausgesetzt ist oder Sand hineingeraten kann. Wir empfehlen das Öffnen oder
Schließen des Gehäuses in geschlossenen Räumen.
≥ Nehmen Sie das Ersetzender Batterie, der Karte, etc. und das Anbringen der
Digitalkamera in geschlossenen Räumen vor, wo wenig Feuchtigkeit vorhanden ist.
≥ Wenn Sie das Gehäuse am Tau chor t öffnen oder schließen müssen, um die
Batterie oder die Karte zu ersetzen, halten Sie unbedingt die unten
aufgeführten Schritte ein.
• Wählen Sie einen Ort , an dem kein Wasser auf das Gehäuse spritzen und kein
Sand in dieses gelangen kann.
• Entfernen Sie jegliche Wassertropfen im Zwischenraum zwischen vorderem und
hinterem Geräteteil und auf der Schnalle. Verbleibende Wassertropfen mit einem
trockenen Tuch sorgfältig abreiben.
• Sorgfältig jegliche Wassertropfen auf dem Körper und den Haaren trockenreiben.
• Achten Sie besonders auf Wasser aus den Ärmeln Ihres Taucheranzugs.
• Berühren Sie die Digitalkamera nicht, wenn Ihre Hände mit Salzwasser befeuchtet
sind. Feuchten Sie zuvor ein Handtuch mit Süßwasser an und bringen Sie es in
einer Plastiktüte unter. Verwenden Sie dieses Handtuch, um jegliche
Wassertropfen oder Sand von Händen und Körper zu entfernen.
≥ Das Gehäuse ist nicht stoßfest. Wenn Sie einen schweren Gegenstand darauf
abstellen oder es Stöße erleidet, kann die Digitalkamera beschädigt werden. Seien
Sie bei der Verwendung des Gehäuses vorsichtig.
