    Before Use
    •This Marine Case is designed for a Panasonic Digital Camera.
    You can enjoy taking pictures underwater at depths up to 45 m/148 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 45 m/148 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.

    ∫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 
    get in 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.

    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.

    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.

    2Check the O-ring.
    •
    Check that there is no dirt, sand, hair, dust, salt crystals, lint or grease on 
    the O-ring. If you find any of these, remove them with a soft, dry cloth.
    •There may be dirt on the O-ring that you cannot see. Check if there is any 
    dirt by rubbing your finger over the O-ring.
    •Be careful not to leave any fibers from the dry cloth on the O-ring when 
    wiping it.
    •Check that the O-ring is not ripped, twisted, squashed, frayed or scratched 
    and that there is no sand sticking to it. Replace the O-ring in these cases.
    3Inspect the O-ring groove.
    •
    Grains of sand or hardened salt crystals may get into the O-ring groove. 
    Remove them carefully with an air spray or a cotton swab. If you use a 
    cotton swab, be careful not to leave any fibers from it in the O-ring groove.
    •Inspect the front case groove as well as the rear case (side where O-ring 
    is set) groove.

    							VQT4V81 (ENG)10
    4Apply the grease (supplied).
    Apply O-ring grease to clean the surface of the O-ring and replenish 
    the oil.
    •Apply a rice-grain size of grease (supplied) evenly to the O-ring with the tip 
    of your finger. (Do not apply the grease with paper or a cloth. The fibers 
    from the paper or cloth may stick to the O-ring.)
    •If there is too much grease on the O-ring, dirt and dust will stick to it 
    causing water to leak in. Therefore, hold the O-ring between the balls of 
    your finger and thumb and gently remove excess grease.
    •By applying the O-ring grease thinly and evenly, the O-ring fits flexibly to 
    the groove of the marine case and keeps it airtight.
    •The surface of the O-ring may stretch or rip, causing a water leak, 
    when an O-ring grease other than supplied is used, so always use 
    the specified O-ring grease.
    5Fit the O-ring evenly into the O-ring groove.
    Check the following:•There is no dirt sticking to the O-ring.•The O-ring has not come out.•The O-ring is not twisted.•The O-ring is not stretched too much.
    CORRECT
    INCORRECT
