HDV R 14 1.1

 

Due to constant technological advancement, the manufacturer may modify the content of this manual without prior notice. 

In  order  to  prevent  any  harm  to  things  or  individuals,  the  user  of  the  battery  and  battery 
charger supplied with our diving vehicles must first read the use and maintenance manual 
and  strictly  observe  the  indications  on  correct  use  and  product  features,  preventing 
inexpert  personnel  or  minors  from  handling,  even  inadvertently,  the  HDV  and 
supplied instruments.
 
Our HDV are equipped with a “cut off” device that protects internal components, impeding 
operations when voltage is too low. When this device is triggered, it inevitably, shuts 
off.
 
This  feature  must  always  be  kept  in  mind  to  avoid  any  hazards  for  the  diver  who,  when 
planning a dive, will leave sufficient time to surface even without HDV power should the 
battery, due to the amount of time under water, die.  
HALCYON  is not liable for any damages to persons and/or property caused by use other 
than that described in this manual and in neglect of the precautions described herein. 
Due to constant technological developments, HALCYON  diving vehicles may be modified 
at any time without prior notice. 
 
This  manual  is  not  a  substitute  manual  for  an  adequate  course  held  by  certified 
agencies on the correct use of HDV on dives. 
 
Use  of  the  HDV  under  the  influence  of  alcohol  and  drugs  and  in  any  situation  in 
which psycho-physical conditions are not suited for diving is prohibited.
