6. Maintaining the Waterproof Function  
The O-ring is a consumable product. Before each use, perform proper maintenance. Always be sure to  
perform the O-ring maintenance operation as described below. Neglecting this maintenance may  
become the cause of water leakage.  
Perform at the location without sand or dust, after washing and drying your hands.  
Remove the O-ring  
Open the Case and remove the O-ring.  
Procedure  
1 Insert the O-ring remover into the gap between the O-ring and O-ring groove wall.  
2 Bring the tip of the inserted O-ring remover below the O-ring. (Be careful not to damage the groove  
with the tip of the O-ring remover.)  
3 Lift the O-ring, pinch it with your fingertips and pull it out of the Case.  
Remove any sand, dirt, etc.  
After visually checking that dirt has been removed from the O-ring, check for attached sand and other  
foreign matter, as well as for damage and cracks by squeezing the entire circumference of the O-ring  
lightly with your fingertips.  
Remove attached foreign matter from the O-ring groove with a clean cloth or a cotton swab. Also remove  
any sand or dirt attached to any part of the Case that comes into contact with the O-ring.  
CAUTION:  
• When a 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.  
En  
Install the O-ring  
Confirm that no foreign matter is attached, apply a thin coat of the accessory grease to the O-ring, and  
fit the O-ring into the groove. At this time, confirm that the O-ring does not stick out from the groove.

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.
