Before Use: • Check the camera for foreign material including dirt, dust or sand. • Be sure to close the battery/card compartment cover and connector cover firmly so that each lock makes clicking sound. • Do not open the battery/card compartment cover and connector cover with wet hands, while under water, or in a damp or dusty environment (e.g. beach). After Use: • Be sure to wipe off any excess water or debris after using the camera under water. • After the camera is used under seawater, immerse the camera in a bucket containing fresh water for about 10 minutes (with the battery/card compartment cover and connector cover firmly closed). After that, dry the camera in a shade with good ventilation. • Water drops may be observed on the inner surface of the battery/card compartment cover or connector cover after you open each cover. If any water drops are found, be sure to wipe them off before using the camera. Notes after use • Foreign materials may be attached to the periphery of the lens cover from using the camera in conditions with foreign materials such as dirt, dust or sand, or when the lens cover is not moving smoothly. If you continue to use the camera in such conditions, the lens could become damaged or the lens cover could stick causing additional damage to the camera. To avoid such damage, wash the camera using the following method. 1 Insert the battery and close the battery/ card compartment cover and connector cover firmly so that each lock makes the clicking sound. 2 Fill a bucket with fresh water, immerse the camera in the bucket with the lens surface downward and shake the camera thoroughly. 3 Press the n button several times in the water and close/open the lens cover repeatedly. 4 Furthermore, shake the camera further with the cover opened. Follow the Steps 1 to 4, then check if the lens cover moves smoothly. If the lens cover does not move smoothly, rinse the lens face by placing it directly under a strong stream of tap water and pressing the n button repeatedly. Storage and Maintenance • Do not leave the camera in an environment at high temperature (40°C (104°F) or more) or at low temperature (-10°C (14°F) or less). Failure to do so may break down water resistance. • Do not use chemicals for cleaning, rust prevention, anti-fogging, repairing, etc. Failure to do so may break down water resistance. • Do not leave the camera in water for a long time. Failure to do so will cause damage to the camera's appearance and/or deteriorate water resistance. • In order to preserve the water resistant feature, as with any underwater housing, it is recommended that the waterproof packing (and seals) are replaced annually. For the Olympus distributors or service stations where the waterproof packing can be replaced, visit Olympus website for your local area. EN 69
