2.2 Operation area

The SEABOB should only be used in sheltered waters. 
Sheltered waters are defined as sheltered coastal waters, 
small bays, small lakes, rivers and canals when conditions 
up to, and including, wind force 4 and significant wave 
heights up to, and including, 0,3 m may be experienced, 
with occasional waves of 0,5 m maximum height, for 
example from passing vessels.
Generally, the SEABOB can be operated in areas where 
the use of watercraft powered by combustion engines 
is not permitted. Use of the SEABOB is not permitted 
wherever the use of watercraft or electric-powered wa-
tercraft is prohibited by local laws, community regula-
tions, nature conservation laws or other provisions. You 
are urged to observe all local laws and regulations. For 
more information, you should inquire at the appropriate 
local offices.

2.1 Registration papers / driving licence

The present law in some countries does not require 
registration papers or a driving licence for operation of 
watercraft. Some countries, however, may have different 
licence regulations, age limits or operating restrictions. 
Before operating the craft, always inquire about the lo-
cal regulations which may be in force in the area where 
you wish to operate the SEABOB. We urge all SEABOB 
operators to inform themselves about the situation in 
the country in which they will be using the SEABOB. The 
manufacturer does not assume any responsibility for 
obtaining such information. 

3. Included in delivery

The following standard equipment is included in 
delivery of the SEABOB:

1.  SEABOB F5 S
2.  A charger for charging the device for operation and 

air transport / storage (in particular storage over the 
winter)

Note: 

A special microprocessor-controlled quick charger 

is available as an optional accessory. The quick charger 
can be used to charge the SEABOB more quickly (high 
charging rate for shorter charging times).
3.  Operation Manual, including:

•  "Quick Reference for SEABOB F5 S"
•  "Data Sheet for Charger"

4.  SEABOB certificate with serial numbers and Owner-

PIN

Check to make sure that all components have been 
included in delivery. Should this not be the case, 
please contact CAYAGO AG immediately.

Also, please check that the serial numbers on the 
SEABOB and accumulators match the numbers shown 
on your SEABOB certificate. To view the serial numbers, 
use the menu provided on the display (see Chapter 5.3.9 
"Displaying serial numbers"). 

 

The SEABOB is delivered in a partially charged 
state. To avoid total discharge, you should charge 

the SEABOB immediately after delivery (within 1 week) 
to at least the charge state "air transport / storage". Use 
only the charger supplied by CAYAGO AG or the option-
ally available quick charger to charge the SEABOB.

 

Charge the SEABOB after each use (within 24 
hours) and during longer periods of storage con-

tinuously (trickle-charge) to at least the charge state "air 
transport / storage" to avoid irreparable total discharge 
of the valuable High-Energy Li-Ion accumulator cells. Be 
sure to read the information provided in this Operation 
Manual on charging the SEABOB.
