Replace consumable parts
• 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 after a year has passed.
• Deterioration of the O-ring is accelerated by the use conditions and the
storage conditions. Replace the O-ring even before a year has passed
if it shows signs of damage, crack or loss of elasticity.
Note:
• 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.
