2. Advance Check of the Case
Advance check before use
This Case has been the subject of thorough quality control for the parts
during the manufacturing process and thorough function inspections
during the assembly. In addition, a water pressure test is performed with
a water pressure tester for all products to confirm that the performance
conforms to the specifications.
However, depending on the carrying and storage conditions, the
maintenance status, etc., the waterproof function may be damaged.
Before using, always perform the following advance checks.
Advance Check
1 Before installing the digital camera in the Case, immerse the empty
Case to confirm that there is no water leakage. We recommend to
immerse the empty Case to the intended water depth, however, if you
cannot perform this way, check the Case by referring “Water Leakage
Test” (P.20).
2 Main causes of water leakage are as follows.
The O-ring has not been installed.
A part of the O-ring or the entire O-ring is outside the specified
groove.
O-ring damage, cracks, deterioration or deformation
Sand, fibers, hair or other foreign matter sticking to the O-ring, the
O-ring groove or the O-ring contact surface on the front lid
Damage to the O-ring groove or the O-ring contact surface on the
front lid
Catching of the strap, silica gel, etc. when closing the Case
Perform the test after the above causes have been eliminated.
CAUTION:
If a leak is detected in normal handling, do not use the Case and contact
Olympus.

3. Install the digital camera
Check the digital camera
Check the digital camera before loading it in the Case.
1. Battery Confirmation
The flash is used very frequently during underwater shooting.
Before diving, make sure that you have enough remaining battery power.
2. Confirmation of the Remaining Number of Pictures to be
Taken
Confirm that the image storage has a sufficient remaining number of
pictures to be taken.
3. Remove the hand strap from the digital camera.
When a digital camera is loaded without removing the strap, the strap may
get caught between the Case lids and may cause water leakage.

Load the digital camera
1 Confirm that the digital camera is OFF.
2 Gently insert the digital camera into the Case.
3 Insert 2 piling up silica gel bags (1g) between the . of the digital camera
and the Case.
The silica gel bag provided for prevention of fogging.
Make sure the camera is loaded properly
Check the following points before sealing the Case.
Is the digital camera loaded properly?
Is silica gel inserted all the way at the specified location?
Is the O-ring attached properly to the opening on the Case?
Is there any dirt or foreign matter on the O-ring or the O-ring contact
surface on the front lid?
Is the waterproof function maintenance performed? For details of the
maintenance, see “6. Maintaining the Waterproof Function” (P.25) of
this manual.
CAUTION:
The silica gel bag will be caught when the Case is sealed and water leakage
will occur. Once silica gel has been used, the moisture absorption
performance will be impaired. Always replace the silica gel when the Case is
opened and closed.

Perform the final checks
Visual Inspection
After sealing the Case, check the sealing part of front and rear lid visually
to confirm that the O-ring is not twisted or out of the groove and that no
foreign matter has been caught. Also check that the Case is not broken or
cracked.
CAUTION:
Hairs, fibers, and other narrow items are not very apparent, but they may
cause water leakage. In addition, pay special attention to breaks and cracks
on the Case.

Water Leakage Test
The final test after loading the camera is explained below. Always perform this test. It
can be performed easily in a water tank or a bathtub. The required time is about five
minutes.
Simple water leakage
test
Explanatory
image
Hints
1
Place the Case slowly
into the water.
As the Case is transparent, waterdrops
entering into it can be confirmed easily.
2
At first, immerse the
Case for only three
seconds.
In case of trouble with the O-ring, three
seconds are enough for water to enter.
Are there air bubbles coming out
between the lids?
Please check carefully.
3
Check that no water
has entered into the
Case.
Remove the Case from the water and
check that no water has leaked at the
inside of the Case.
4
Next, immerse the
Case for 30 seconds.
Check carefully for air bubbles!
Do not perform any operation yet, but
just observe.
5
Check that no water
has entered into the
Case.
Remove the Case from the water and
check that no water has leaked at the
inside of the Case.
Perform very careful confirmation.
6
Next, check by
immersing for three
minutes.
Check carefully for air bubbles!
Try operation of the all buttons, levers
and dials. Check carefully for air bubbles!
If there is still no entry of water,
everything is OK!
7
This is the final check.
Has the silica gel
become moist?
This is very important!
Has the silica gel become moist?
Please check carefully!
8
Now everything is all
right.
Now everything is all right!
