Maintenance

Caring for the O-ring

The WP-CP2 uses an O-ring to form a watertight seal. Improper handling of

the O-ring can produce leaks. Check the condition of the O-ring as described

below before each use, and check for the presence of foreign matter on the

O-ring each time the case is opened, however brieﬂ y.

Remove the O-ring

Pinch the O-ring lightly between two ﬁ ngers to

form a loop. Take hold of the loop and remove

the O-ring from the case.

Do Not Use Force or Sharp Objects

The case may leak if the O-ring is forcibly stretched

or damaged through the use of edged or pointed

objects, including ﬁ ngernails and metal tools.

Inspect the O-ring guide

Use a blower or cotton swab to remove any for-

eign objects from the watertight channel and all

parts of the case that come into contact with the

O-ring. Be sure to remove any threads left behind

by the swab.

Replacing the O-ring

The O-ring requires periodic replacement. Replace the O-ring immediately if it is dam-

aged, cracked, warped, or has lost its elasticity. O-rings should be replaced at least once

a year. Use only COOLPIX O-ring grease designated for use in this product; replacement

O-rings and O-ring grease can be purchased from a Nikon camera retailer or Nikon-au-

thorized service agent. Do not use NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease).

Inspect the O-ring

Remove old O-ring grease and other foreign mat-

ter with tissue paper or a soft, dry cloth, taking

care not to leave tissue or threads on the O-ring.

Gently bend the O-ring to check for cracking or

other damage.
