Drying the flash
After washing the flash, dry it with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. Then, leave
it to dry completely in a well-ventilated location protected from direct
sunlight.
Perform maintenance on the O-ring
Always carry out maintenance on the O-ring after use, to maintain
optimum waterproofing performance.
See “2. Maintaining the Waterproof Function” (
gP.15)
Replace consumable products
• The O-ring is a consumable product. Independent of the number of
times the flash is used, it is recommended that the O-ring should be
replaced by a new one at least once a year.
• Deterioration of the O-ring is accelerated by the conditions of use 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
• Leakage may occur to some parts if exposed to high water pressure.
• Operate the switches of the flash when it is in clean tap water to remove
any salt from their shafts. Do not disassemble the flash for cleaning.
• If the flash is dried before all salt has been removed, this could affect its
performance. Always make sure all salt has been removed.
CAUTION
• Never use hot air from a hair dryer or other appliance to dry the flash. This
could deteriorate or deform the flash and O-ring and lead to water
penetration.
• When wiping the flash, take care not to scratch it.
Note :
Please use original Olympus silicone O-ring grease and the O-rings. These
products can be purchased at an Olympus service station.
