PREPARATION
STOP!
READ THIS NOTICE
BEFORE
USING
YOUR
NIKONOS.V
CAMERA.
THE
O.RING SEALS
MUST BE
EXAMINED
AND
LUBRICATED
BEFORE
USE
TO AVOID DAMAGING THE
CAMERA.
This Nikonos-V
uses O-rings to seal and waterproof
the
junctions
between
parts.
Your Nikonos-V
should
not
be considered
waterproof
until
you
have
examined
the
four
user-serviceable
O-rings
(one
each
for
the
camera back'-+0, lens@, flash
sync socket, and battery
clip@)
They must
be
in
perfect,
undamaged condition
and
properly
lubricated
prior
to
each use.
Read
the
following instructions thoroughly
to
familiarize
your-
self
with the maintenance
of the O-rings.
Because the outer surface
of
your
Nikonos-V has
been specially treated
to
make
it waterproof, it
must
be
protected
from impact. lf
it
becomes damaged,
send
it to a
qualified
technician for
service before
the
nexl
use.
Your
Nikonos-V
is watertight
only
when in
properly
serviced condition, when allO-ring
seals are
in
perfect
condition, and
when
all components
are
properly
assembled and closed.
Pay
special
attention to the instructions for installing
the O-rings because
it is
the O-rings
which make
your
Nikonos-V
watertight. For
the
O-rings
to
perform
properly,
they must be in
perfect
condition
(with
no
cuts, tears, or other
imperfections)
and
properly
lubricated.
lf
they are
not,
they will not
perform pro-
perly
and may
allow water
to
enter
your
camera. To
prevent
the
accidental
use
of a defective
O-ring,
always
discard
old
rings.
The channels into
which
the
O-rings
fit must
be f ree
of
any
foreign
matter
and in
their original,
smoothly
finished
condition. lf they
are not,
the O-rings will not
seat
properly
and may
allow water to
enter
your
camera. lf
any channel in
your
Nikonos-V
becomes
damaged,
send the camera
to a
qualified
technician
for
service
before the next
use.
Your Nikonos-V
contains a series of O-rings. Some
are factory installed
and cannot be serviced by
you.
Once each
year,
send
your
camera to a
qualified
technician
so
these
O-rings can be serviced.
Do not
attempt to
disassemble the camera and service these
O-rings
yourself.
Four
of the O-rings
in
your
Nikonos-V can be serviced
by
you.
These must be examined at the end of each
dive day and,
if
possible,
after each dive.
