5.4.14 Operation
1. Switch on the SEABOB. The operation display appears
in the display.
2. To increase the power, tap the green button (repeat-
edly). The power display increases in increments of
10 % with every tap of the green button (10 power
levels).
3. To reduce the power, tap the red button (repeatedly).
The power display decreases in increments of 10 %
with every tap of the red button (10 power levels).
4. Pull the Powergrip against the Controlgrip and hold it
there. The motor starts, and the SEABOB begins mov-
ing. A minimum power of 10 % is required for start-
ing.
5. The power can also be adjusted during operation.
6. To stop, hold on to both Controlgrips securely, and
release the Powergrip in your right hand. The SEABOB
stops.
When the accumulator is discharged to approx. one third
of its charge state, the motor‘s electronic control sys-
tem reduces the maximum power incrementally (80 %,
70 %, 60 % etc.). This is done to prolong accumulator
cell life as the voltage decreases, while ensuring that
there is sufficient reserve capacity for emergency mode.
The device begins using the emergency reserve of the
accumulator box after the warning symbol appears on
the upper left-hand side of the display, the accumulator
symbol starts flashing and the remaining operating time
is shown as "0:00". In emergency mode, the power is
gradually reduced automatically until the motor comes
to a complete stop. The estimated remaining operating
time in emergency mode is approx. 5 minutes, with a
continual reduction in power.
Charge the accumulator box after each use (within
24 hours) to at least the charge state "air trans-
port / storage" to avoid irreparable total discharge of the
valuable Li-Ion accumulator cells.
5.4.15 IrDA (infrared interface)
The system uses a built-in IrDA interface to communicate
with another IrDA device (such as a notebook or PDA).
The built-in IrDA transceiver is located in the centre, di-
rectly above the LCD display. It has a range of at least
25 cm (perpendicular to the display).
This infrared interface (IrDA) is used together with the
optional software available on CD and an external PC
(such as a notebook) to activate the PIN prompt when
switching on the device or to activate / change the User-
PIN (see Chapter 5.4.12 "Entering PIN"). The infrared in-
terface can also be used by the manufacturer or specialist
dealer for performing diagnostic checks.
