Removing any sand, dirt, etc.
After visually checking that dirt, sand, and other foreign matter has been
removed from the O-ring, check for damage and cracks by squeezing the
entire circumference of the O-ring lightly with your fingertips.
Using a clean cloth free of fibers or a lint-free cotton swab, remove any
foreign matter attached to the grooves of the O-ring. Also remove sand
and dirt particles attached to the O-ring contact surface (battery cap side).
CAUTION
• When a mechanical pencil or a similar other sharp object is used to remove
the O-ring or to clean the inside of the O-ring groove, the O-ring may be
damaged and water leakage may be caused. Please use the provided
O-ring remover.
• 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.
• 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.
