• Check that there are no scratches or cracks on  
the waterproof gasket as they may allow water  
to leak in. If there are scratches or cracks,  
replace the damaged waterproof gasket with a  
new one.  
Do not remove the waterproof gasket with a  
metal tool or a tool with a sharp point.  
• Remove foreign materials such as dust, sand or  
hair from the waterproof gasket, the groove  
and from any surface the gasket touches.  
If the body is closed with such materials  
present, these areas may be damaged and water  
may leak in.  
• Put the waterproof gasket in the grooves  
evenly, with the tapering side up. Never twist  
it. (See illustration H)  
• After checking that there are no cracks or dust  
on the waterproof gasket, coat it slightly with  
the supplied grease using your finger. This will  
prevent wearing.
