Cautions Cautions
To ensure continued enjoyment of your Nikon product, observe the following precautions
when storing or using the device.
❚❚ Waterproofi ng
Observe the following precautions when using the case in or around water:
• Before use, test the case for leaks as described on pages 11 and 17 of this manual.
• The case is proof only against fresh water (such as pools, rivers, and lakes) and seawater. Do
not take into hot springs or baths.
• Do not expose to depths greater than 45 m (147 ft) or to rapids, waterfalls, water fl owing at
full force from a tap, or other water under high pressure. Failure to observe these precau-
tions could expose the case to pressures high enough to cause damage, deformation, and
water entry.
• Exposure to water will damage the camera. To prevent water entry, do not open the case
with wet hands, when the case is wet, or in, on, or by the water or in locations exposed to
spray, wind, sand or dust. Ensure that the camera is dry before insertion. Should the case
leak, cease use immediately, dry the camera and the interior of the case, and take the camera
and case to a Nikon-authorized service representative.
• Before sealing the case or when installing the O-ring, make sure that the O-ring is not twisted
or out of position and examine the interior of case and the O-ring, watertight channel, and
any parts of the case that are in contact with the O-ring carefully to ensure that they are
free of liquid, dirt, hair, lint, dust, sand, and other foreign objects. Water and other liquids on
these surfaces should be removed immediately with a soft, dry cloth. Other foreign matter
should be removed with a blower, taking care to remove any small particles from the sides
and corners of the watertight channel. Foreign matter on the exterior of the case can be
removed with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use soap, cleansers, or other chemicals, and be sure
to remove suntan oil, sunblock, bath salts, detergent, soap, organic solvents, oil, alcohol, and
the like immediately.
• Do not apply stickers to the case or use sealants, anti-fog chemicals, or O-ring lubricants or
silica gels not specifi cally designated for use with the WP-N3 (
0
25).
• Do not leave the case for extended periods in locations that are exposed to freezing tem-
peratures or in hot locations such as enclosed vehicles, on board boats, on the beach, in
direct sunlight, or near heating equipment. Failure to observe this precaution may make the
case vulnerable to water entry.
• The case is not guaranteed waterproof if struck, dropped, placed under heavy objects, or oth-
erwise subjected to strong pressure or violent physical shocks or vibration. If the case does
suff er a fall or other physical shock, take it to Nikon-authorized service personnel and have it
tested to make sure that it is still waterproof. Note that a fee will be charged for this service.
• Damage due to user error is not covered under warranty.
