6. Maintaining the Waterproof Function

Remove the O-ring.

Open the Case and remove the O-ring from the Case.
Removal of the O-ring
Insert the O-ring removal pick between the O-ring and the wall of the O-ring groove.
Move the tip of the inserted pick under the O-ring. (Take care not to damage the O-ring
groove with the tip of the pick.)
Hold the O-ring with your fingertips after it has come out of the groove and remove it from
the Case.

Remove any sand, dirt, etc.

After visually checking that dirt has been removed from the O-ring, checking for attached
sand and other foreign matter, as well as for damage and cracks can be done by squeezing
the entire circumference of the O-ring lightly with your fingertips.
Use a clean cloth not easily shedding fibers, or cotton swab, tissue paper or the like, to
remove any foreign matter from the O-ring groove. Clean the O-ring contact surface on the
front lid in the same way to remove any sand and dirt.
CAUTION
: • When a mechanical pencil or a similar other sharp object is used to remove
the O-ring or to clean the inside of the O-ring groove, the Case and the O-
ring may be damaged and water leakage may be caused.
• When the O-ring is checked with the fingertips, take care not to stretch the
O-ring.
• Never use alcohol, thinner, benzene or similar solvents or chemicals
detergents to clean the O-ring. When such chemicals are used, it is likely
that the O-ring will be damaged or that its deterioration will be accelerated.
