5.9 Switching off the SEABOB to Sleep 
mode

Manual switching off to Sleep mode: 

1.  The information display is shown in the display. The 

power is displayed as "0 %" in the power display.

2.  Tap the button combination silver – blue in quick se-

quence. The prompt "sleep mode - confirm with trig-
ger" appears.

3.  If the user activates the Trigger within 5 seconds, the 

system will switch to Sleep mode and switch off.

Note:

 If the Trigger is not activated within 5 seconds, the 

system will return to the last selected mode (e.g. infor-
mation display in the On mode).

Automatic switch-off (Time-off):

If the user does not activate a button or the Trigger within 
10 minutes (Time-off),the system switches off automati-
cally to Sleep mode. 
To switch the device back on from Sleep mode, see Chap-
ter 5.3.6 "Sleep mode / On mode".

Note:

 When the SEABOB is completely discharged / run 

to empty, the device and the display switch off com-
pletely (Off mode). The SEABOB can only be switched 
on from Off mode using a connected and active charger. 

 

Charge the SEABOB immediately (within 24 hours) 
to at least the charge state "air transport / stor-

age" to avoid irreparable total discharge of the valuable 
Li-Ion accumulator cells.

5.10 Storing the SEABOB 

If you do not plan to use the SEABOB for an extended 
period, it must be stored at least in a partial charge state 
(charge state "air transport / storage"). The minimum 
charge state during storage is required to prevent irrepa-
rable total discharge of the valuable Li-Ion accumulator 
cells and to ensure that the microprocessor-controlled 
Cell-Balancing function remains active. You may have 
to recharge the SEABOB, depending on its charge state. 
The charging process is controlled automatically by the 
charger and accumulator management system. 
Be sure to read the information contained in Chapter 5.2 
"Charging the SEABOB"!

To prepare the device for storage, proceed as fol-
lows:

1.  Place the SEABOB on a dry and sturdy surface that 

will not damage the components.

2.  Ensure that the connector, connection plug and mains 

plug are perfectly clean and dry. If necessary, dry them 
using a soft, clean cloth.

3.  Plug the connector of the charger into the connection 

port of the SEABOB. Then plug the mains plug of the 
charger into the mains socket.

4.  The charge display will appear on the SEABOB after a 

brief system check. The device is now in Charge mode.

5.  Tap the green button to select partial charging of the 

SEABOB to charge state "air transport / storage". A 
partially filled charge symbol will appear in the centre 
of the display with an arrow to indicate partial charg-
ing ("charge 50 %").

6.  When the aircraft symbol appears in the centre of 

the display, partial charging is complete and the 
minimum charge state for storage has been reached 
("complete").

7.  To save energy and to reduce maintenance charging, 

the display turns itself off automatically 10 minutes 
after charging is completed (“complete”). By pressing 
any button, the display can be switched on again (for 
another 10 minutes).

 

When cleaning the SEABOB, never stand it upright 
on the front bumper or on the water outlet of the 

jet channel. The SEABOB could tip over and be damaged 
or damage other objects. Furthermore, this could prove 
to be dangerous for any persons in close proximity.
4.  Slightly tilt the SEABOB to ease the cleaning process. 

After using the device, first remove salt deposits, dirt 
or other foreign objects by rinsing the components 
with fresh water (from a low-pressure source such 
as a garden hose or watering can) and / or blowing 
them out with air from a low-pressure hose. Ensure 
that places which are not easily accessible (e.g. water 
inlets and outlets) are rinsed thoroughly or blown out 
with air.

5.  Clean the SEABOB using a soft, clean cloth. If neces-

sary, you can also use a mild cleaning agent designed 
for plastic surfaces that will not damage the finish. 

 

Dirt or salt deposits can corrode the sealing sur-
face of the SEABOB. Even minute damage or dirt 

on the sealing surfaces can reduce the effectiveness of 
the seal, resulting in damage to the SEABOB as well as 
damage to the motor and the motor‘s electronic system.

 

Please also ensure that you always follow the 
further instructions on cleaning the SEABOB in 

Chapter 6.1 "Cleaning the SEABOB".
6.  Charge the SEABOB after each use (within 24 hours) 

to at least the charge state "air transport / storage" 
to prevent total discharge of the SEABOB. Be sure 
to read the information provided in this Operation 
Manual on charging the SEABOB (see Chapter 5.2 
"Charging the SEABOB").

5.8 After use

1.  Together with one other person, hold on to the car-

rying handles on both sides, and lift the SEABOB out 
of the water, placing the SEABOB on a dry and sturdy 
surface that will not damage any components. 

 

Never carry the SEABOB by the Controlgrips, front 
bumper or display panel but only by the carrying 

handles on each side.

 

Moor the SEABOB safely if you decide leave 
it in the water for a short time. Ensure that the 

SEABOB cannot become unattached, injure others or ob-
struct their path. 
2.  Switch off the SEABOB to prevent further discharg-

ing (switch device to Sleep mode by tapping the but-
ton combination silver – blue in quick sequence and 
confirm with the Trigger within 5 seconds). This also 
prevents unauthorised persons, inexperienced per-
sons or children from using the SEABOB and injuring 
themselves. 

 

Never leave the SEABOB unattended to prevent 
children or other inexperienced or unauthorised 

persons from using the device.
3.  Do not leave the SEABOB in the sun if it is not be-

ing used. Without water to cool the device, the di-
rect sunlight can heat the display to temperatures of 
around 70 °C / 158 °F. If exposed to such heat, the 
function can be impaired or irreparable damage may 
even be caused to the display. For this reason, you 
should always put the SEABOB in the shade when not 
in use or, if necessary, cover the display with a wet, 
light-coloured towel to prevent irreparable damage 
to the display caused by excessive heat, particularly 
as a result of being in direct sunlight. 

 

Never expose the SEABOB and the charger to high 
temperatures (max. 60 °C / 140 °F) caused e.g. by 

open fire, direct sunlight or by storage inside a closed 
motor vehicle or boot. If exposed to heat, flammable 
gases can be discharged causing serious injury. In addi-
tion, the TFT display may become irreparably damaged if 
exposed to heat.
