Maintenance and Storage
Observe the following precautions when cleaning and storing
the unit after underwater use.
• Before inserting or removing the battery holder, fi nd a shaded
location free from spray, wind, dust, and sand, and be sure your
hands are dry. Before removing the holder, wipe the unit with
a soft, dry cloth to remove any water. Water dropping from the
battery holder into the unit could result in condensation or
other damage.
• Benzene, thinner, alcohol, soap, neutral detergents, and other
cleaning products may deform the unit, making it vulnerable
to leaks.
• After washing the unit in fresh water, remove any visible water
with a soft, dry cloth and leave the unit in a shady, well-venti-
lated area to dry. Do not leave it in direct sunlight or dry it with
hair dryers or other powered devices. Failure to observe this
precaution could damage the unit, resulting in leaks.
• If the unit will not be used for an extended period, remove the
batteries and store it in a cool, well-ventilated area. To protect
the unit from mold, mildew, rust, or corrosion, avoid locations
that are exposed to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures,
or high humidity and do not store the unit with naphtha or
camphor mothballs or in laboratories or other locations where
volatile chemicals are used.
• Inspect the O-ring before and after use and before placing
the unit in storage. Nikon recommends that the O-ring be re-
placed before it shows signs of wear.
• Although the need for servicing will vary with storage condi-
tions and how often the unit is used, it is recommended that it
be serviced about once every two years by Nikon-authorized
service personnel, starting from the date of purchase. A fee is
charged for this service.
• Take the unit from storage about once a month, insert the bat-
teries, fi re it, and test the controls. Before returning the unit to
storage, confi rm that the fl ash-ready lamp lights red, and then
turn the fl ash off and remove the batteries.
