Q9: : What are the important points for O-ring maintenance?
A9: : Pay special attention to the following items.
1 Never use alcohol, thinner, benzene or similar organic solvents or chemical detergents to
clean the O-ring. When such chemicals are used, the O-ring may be damaged or its
deterioration may be accelerated.
2 Always use genuine Olympus Silicon Grease for (in the tube with a white cap). Other grease
may not be suitable for the silicon O-rings on the Case. Using the wrong grease may result
in deterioration of the Case's surface finish and interfere with the waterproof capability.
3 In order to avoid deformation of the O-ring when the Case is not used for a long time,
remove the O-ring from the Case, apply a thin coat of the special grease, and store the O-
ring in a clean plastic bag. For reuse, confirm that the O-ring is free of damage and cracks,
that it has sufficient elasticity, that the surface is free of stickiness and other abnormalities,
and use it after applying a thin coat of the special grease. Excessive application of grease
does not improve the waterproof function or the permissible withstand pressure. However,
it may facilitate attachment of sand, dirt, etc. A thin, uniform coat produces the best result.
4 Use the provided silicon grease to apply onto the threaded portions of the Waterproof Port
and the port of the Case.
5 The O-ring is a consumable product. Replace it at least once a year. Before each use,
perform the proper maintenance.
6 Deterioration of the O-ring is accelerated by the usage conditions and the storage
conditions. Replace the O-ring immediately with a new piece if it shows signs of damage,
cracking or loss of elasticity.
Q10: : What precautions need to be taken for proper maintenance of the Case?
A10: : Pay special attention to the following items.

of the Case.

detergent to clean the Case. Fresh or lukewarm water is sufficient.

immersed in fresh water and washed thoroughly after use. If you are concerned with the
possibility of rust, apply a thin layer of the silicone grease to the metallic parts before use.
