6. Maintaining the Waterproof Function
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 mechanical pencil or any other 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.
