• Before opening the case or removing the port, ensure that your hands or gloves are completely clean (free  
of sand, loose fibers, etc.).  
• Never open the case or remove the port in areas where water could splash or spray or where sand or dust  
could be blown in the air. When this cannot be avoided, for example if the battery or memory card needs to  
be changed, the case and camera should be protected from the wind or spray with a plastic sheet or similar  
object.)  
• Never touch the digital camera and/or battery when your hands are wet with sea water.  
Wash the Case with pure water  
En  
After use, seal the Case again after taking out the camera and wash it sufficiently in pure water as soon  
as possible.  
After use in sea water, it is effective to immerse it for a fixed time (30 minutes to 1 hour) in pure water to  
remove any salt.  
CAUTION:  
• Water leakage may be caused when a high water pressure is applied locally. Before washing the Case with  
water, remove the digital camera from it.  
• Operate the shutter lever and various buttons of this product in pure water to remove salt adhering to the  
shaft. Do not disassemble for cleaning.  
• Letting salt dry on the case may impair the function. Always wash off any salt after use.  
EN 20  
Dry the Case  
After washing with pure water, use a lint-free soft cloth without any salt on it to wipe off any waterdrop  
and dry the Case completely at a well ventilated location in the shade.  
CAUTION:  
Do not use hot air from a hair drier or the like for drying and do not expose the Case to direct sunlight, as this  
may accelerate deterioration and deformation of the Case and deterioration of the O-ring, leading to leakage  
of water.  
When wiping the Case, take care not to cause scratches.  
En  
EN 21  
6. Maintaining the Waterproof Function  
The O-ring is a consumable product. Before each use, perform proper maintenance. Always be sure to

How to Apply Grease to the O-ring  
Make sure that your fingers and the O-ring are  
free of dirt, and squeeze about 5 mm of  
lubricant onto a finger. (5 mm is the most  
appropriate amount.)  
1 Apply only Olympus  
exclusive lubricant to each  
O-ring.  
Spread the grease onto the entire  
circumference of the O-ring using 3 fingers.  
Be careful not to use excessive force as this  
may stretch the O-ring.  
2 Spread the lubricant onto  
the entire circumference of  
the O-ring.  
After spreading the lubricant, check visually  
and by touch that the O-ring is not scratched  
and that its surface is flat. If it is damaged in  
any way, replace it with a brand-new O-ring.  
3 Check that the O-ring is free  
of scratches or unevenness.  
4 Apply lubricant on the O-ring  
Use the lubricant remaining on the fingers to  
clean and lubricate the case’s contact surface.  
contact surface.  
CAUTION:  
• Always perform maintenance of the waterproof function even when the Case has been opened every  
shooting. Neglecting this maintenance may become the cause of water leakage.  
• When the Case is not to be used for a long time, remove the O-ring from the groove to prevent deformation  
of the O-ring, apply a thin coat of silicone grease, and store it in a clean plastic bag or the like.

Replace consumable products  
• The O-ring is a consumable product. Independent of the number of times the Case is used, it is  
recommended that the O-ring should be replaced by a new piece at least once a year.  
• Deterioration of the O-ring is accelerated by the usage conditions and the storage conditions. Replace  
the O-ring even before a year has passed if it shows signs of damage, cracking or loss of elasticity.  
CAUTION:  
• Please use genuine Olympus silicone grease, silica gel and O-ring.  
• Do not try to replace the O-ring by yourself.  
• We recommend to perform the check periodically.  
Maintenance of the threaded sections on the TTL cable and TTL  
cable connector  
If the threaded sections used to connect the TTL cable to the TTL cable connector are not maintained  
properly, salt and other seawater residue may adhere to the TTL cable and prevent it from being  
disconnected.  
After use in seawater, clean off any salt, sand, or other residue as soon as possible, then dry the  
equipment thoroughly. Clean the threaded sections with a cotton swab and apply a thin, uniform layer of  
silicone grease (provided with this case).  
Clean and apply silicone grease to these  
sections.  
Maintenance of the TTL Connector Cap  
After removing the TTL connector cap from the Underwater Case, be sure to clean and grease the O-  
ring.  
Use the maintenance adapter to remove the O-ring unit from the TTL connector cap.
