the water.

waterdrops entering into it can be confirmed
easily.
2 At first, immerse the Case
for only three seconds.

seconds is enough for water to enter. Are there
air bubbles coming out between the lids?
3 Check that no water has
entered the Case.
Remove the Case from the water and check
that no water has leaked at the inside of the
Case.
4 Next, immerse the Case for
30 seconds.
Check carefully for air bubbles!
Do not perform any operation yet, but just
observe.

entered the Case.
Remove the Case from the water and check
that no water has leaked at the bottom of the
Case.
