iv
Temperature
Do not leave the case in areas exposed to high temperatures, such as inside a car, near
a heater, on a beach, or in direct sunlight. Failure to observe this precaution could
weaken or warp the case, resulting in damage to the camera. Sudden changes in
temperature could result in condensation inside the case, which could also damage the
camera. To prevent condensation:
• Before exposing the case to sudden changes in temperature, place it in a sealed plastic
bag. Do not open the bag until the case has reached the same temperature as its
surroundings.
• Place the supplied desiccant (silica gel) in the case with the camera as directed on
page 10 of this manual.
• Do not expose the case to high temperatures by leaving it on the beach or in direct
sunlight before entering the water.
Chemicals
• Do not expose the case to volatile chemicals or their vapors. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in damage to the case.
• Do not use chemical detergents, rust inhibitors, thinner, alcohol, or other volatile
chemicals when cleaning the case. Wash in fresh water only.
• Use only desiccants designated for use with this product (see page 19).
• Use only COOLPIX O-ring grease designated for use with this product (see page 19).
Do not use NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease).
• Do not use sealants or anti-fog chemicals.
• Do not handle the case after applying sunscreen. Sunscreen can damage the clear
plastic parts of the case.
• Do not apply stickers to the case, as the adhesive could cause the case to deterio-
rate.
Travelling by Air
If possible, include the case in your carry-on baggage when travelling by air. When
packing the case with checked luggage, leave the case open or remove the O-ring. If
the case is sealed, changes in air pressure may damage the case or prevent the case
from opening.
High Altitudes
When travelling from high to low altitudes, open the case periodically to equalize the
pressure. If the case is kept sealed, changes in air pressure may damage the case or
prevent the case from opening.
