Replace consumable products
• 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 at least once a year.
• Deterioration of the O-ring is accelerated by the usage conditions 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.
Maintenance of the threaded sections on the TTL cable and TTL
cable connector
If the threaded sections used to connect the TTL cable to the TTL cable connector are not maintained
properly, salt and other seawater residue may adhere to the TTL cable and prevent it from being
disconnected.
After use in seawater, clean off any salt, sand, or other residue as soon as possible, then dry the
equipment thoroughly. Clean the threaded sections with a cotton swab and apply a thin, uniform layer of
silicone grease (provided with this case).
Maintenance of the TTL Connector Cap
After removing the TTL connector cap from the Underwater Case, be sure to clean and grease the O-
ring.
Use the maintenance adapter to remove the O-ring unit from the TTL connector cap.
* Reverse the removal procedure to re-attach the O-ring unit to the TTL connector cap.
CAUTION:
Please use original Olympus products for the silicon grease, the silica gel, and the O-ring. These consumable
products also can be purchased at an Olympus service station.
1 Insert the adapter by aligning its pin with the hole on
the cap.
2 Turn the adapter counterclockwise to remove the O-
ring unit.
3 After removing the O-ring attached to the O-ring unit,
clean the O-ring groove and apply silicone grease to
the O-ring. Then, re-attach the O-ring to the O-ring
unit.
Clean and apply silicone grease to these
sections.
