    Before Use
    ≥This Marine Case is designed for a Panasonic Digital Camera.
    You can enjoy taking pictures underwater at depths up to 40 m/130 feet.
    ≥In the case of water leakage due to insufficient care, Panasonic is in no 
    way liable for damage to any products (digital camera, batteries, card etc.) 
    inside this Case, photography costs or any other expenses.
    ≥Panasonic also offers no compensation for accidents resulting in injury or 
    damage to property.
    ≥Read the operating instructions for your digital camera.
    ≥Before attaching the digital camera, submerge the case in water for 
    about 3 minutes or more to check that there is no water leakage.
    ∫About handling this Case
    ≥Use under the following conditions.
    • Water depth: Up to 40 m/130 feet
     Ambient temperature: 0 °C
     to 40 °C/32 °F to 104 °F
    ≥Do not use the Case in water over 40 °C/104 °F. The heat may damage the Case or 
    cause water leakage.
    ≥The Case is made of impact resistant polycarbonate however be careful when you 
    are using it. It can be easily scratched when taking pictures in rocky places etc. and 
    can be damaged by the impact if dropped etc. When travelling, pack the Case 
    carefully to prevent any direct impact if it is dropped etc. and do not leave the digital 
    camera in the Case. Only attach the digital camera to the case if you are 
    transporting it a short distance such as from the airport to the diving spot. (You 
    cannot reuse the material the Case was packed in at the time of purchase to 
    transport it.)
    ≥When boarding a plane, the change in atmospheric pressure may cause the inside 
    of the Case to expand causing damage to the Case. Remove the O-ring before 
    boarding a plane.
    Insert the removed O-ring into the supplied exclusive polyester bag.
    ≥Do not leave the digital camera in the Case for a long period of time in a car, a 
    ship, exposed to direct sunlight etc. The Case is an airtight device so the 
    temperature inside the Case will become very high and the digital camera may 
    stop operating properly. Do not let the temperature inside the Case become 
    too high.

    Before Use (continued)
    ∫Using the Case in high or low temperatures
    ≥If you open or close the Case where it is humid or hot and then move to a place that 
    is cold or dive underwater, condensation may appear inside the Case, the glass 
    surface may become cloudy and the digital camera may be damaged.
    ≥If you suddenly move the Case from a cold place or cold water to a warm place, the 
    glass surface may become cloudy. Wait until the Case becomes close to the air 
    temperature before taking pictures.
    ∫About preparation
    ≥Do not open or close the Case where it may be splashed by water or sand may 
    get in it. We recommend opening or closing the Case indoors.
    ≥Replace the battery, card etc. and attach the digital camera indoors where there is 
    little moisture.
    ≥If you must open or close the Case at the diving spot to replace the battery or 
    the card, be sure to follow the steps below.
     Select a place where the Case will not be splashed by water and sand will not getin it.
     Blow off any drops of water in the gap between the rear case and the front case and on the buckle. Thoroughly wipe off any remaining drops of water with a dry
    cloth.
     Thoroughly wipe off any drops of water on your body or hair.
     Be particularly careful about any water coming from the sleeves of your thermal suit.
     Do not touch the digital camera if your hands are wet from sea water. Wet a towel with fresh water and place it in a polyester bag beforehand. Use this towel to wipe
    off any drops of water or sand on your hands or body.
    ≥This Case does not absorb shock. If you place a heavy object on the Case or cause 
    shock to it, the digital camera may be damaged. Be careful when you are using the 
    case.

    Handling and Care
    ≥Do not place the Case where it may fall.
     If the Case falls on your head or foot,  it will injure you and cause the Case to 
    malfunction. 
    ≥ Never alter the Case.
     If water leaks into the digital camera because the Case was altered, the digital 
    camera may be damaged beyond repair.
     If you continue to use the digital camera after water has leaked into it, this may  cause a fire.
    ≥ Do not use the Case while scuba diving without proper training.
     You should only operate the Case while scuba diving if you have been properly 
    trained and certified for this sport.
    ≥ Never place the Case, grease, silica gel or O-ring within the reach of 
    infants.
     If any part of an infant’s body is caught in the Case, it may cause an injury.
     Infants may accidentally swallow the grease, silica gel or O-ring.
     Consult a doctor immediately if you think an infant may have swallowed the 
    grease, silica gel or O-ring.
    ≥ Do not hang the strap around your neck underwater.
     It may become wound around your neck caus ing suffocation or other serious 
    injuries.
    ≥ Thoroughly wash any grease on your hands.
     Do not allow the grease on your hands to come into contact with your mouth or 
    eyes.
    ≥ If water leaks into the case, stop using it immediately.
     This may cause an electric shock, burning or a fire.
     Consult your dealer.
    ≥If anything abnormal occurs while using the Case underwater, please 
    follow all necessary procedures and guidelines for decompressing 
    when you ascend.
     If you ascend too quickly, you may get caisson disease.
    ≥If smoke or abnormal heat, smells or sounds come from the Case, 
    stop using it immediately.
     These may cause an electric shock, burning or fire.
     Remove the digital camera from the Case and then immediately remove the 
    battery from the digital camera.
     Consult your dealer.
    ≥ Be careful when opening the Case after water leakage.
     The leaked water may blow out or the rear case may flip.

    							7VQT3M30
    ≥Do not leave the Case where the temperature is high.
     The temperature inside the Case becomes very high particularly when it is 
    exposed to direct sunlight on a beach, a ship etc. or when it is left in an airtight car 
    in the summer. The heat may damage the Case or its inner parts.
     If a digital camera is attached to the Case, it may also be damaged.
     If you use the attached digital camera when the temperature inside the Case is  very high, it may cause leakage, short-circuiting or insulation failure resulting in 
    fire or malfunction.
    ≥ Do not handle the digital camera or the battery with wet hands.
     This may cause an electric shock or malfunction.
    ∫ When taking pictures with the flash
    ≥When taking pictures with the flash, the corners of the picture may be vignetted or 
    the picture may not be lit evenly.
    ≥When taking pictures with the flash, the available flash range is less underwater 
    than on land.

    What is the O-ring?
    ≥The O-ring is a waterproofing packing used for underwater cameras, watches and 
    diving equipment.
    ≥The O-ring keeps the Case waterproof by sealing the gap between the rear case 
    and the front case.
    ∫How the O-ring keeps the Case waterproof
    The gum comes into contact with the sides of the Case making the 
    Case waterproof and stopping water from entering from the gap.
    When water pressure acts on the O-ring, the surface of the O-ring 
    expands and the Case is sealed more tightly.
    The O-ring prevents water leakage by coming into uniform 
    contact with the sides of the Case. Therefore, good care of the 
    O-ring is very important. Incorrect care of the O-ring may 
    cause water leakage.

    Preparation -Setting the O-ring-
    Be sure to set the O-ring before attaching a digital camera.
    Thoroughly wash and dry your hands before handling the O-ring. Place 
    the O-ring where there is no sand or dust.
    1Loosen the O-ring with your fingers to remove it.
    ≥
    Loosen part of the O-ring with the tips of two fingers and then lift the loosened 
    part. Be careful not to scratch the O-ring with your fingernails.
    ∫Note

    Do not use a pointed object to remove the O-ring. This may scratch or damage the 
    O-ring.
