• For safety reasons, the depth limit is automatically reset to the default setting of
2.5 m / 8 ft each time the SEABOB is switched on.
• Bear in mind that the SEABOB switches off automatically (Sleep mode) if inactive
for an extended period of more than 10 minutes (Time-off). After switching the
SEABOB back on, you will need to re-enter your Owner-PIN if you want to start
the motor at a diving depth of more than approx. 2.5 m / 8 ft. After entering your
Owner-PIN, you can increase the depth limit again so that the set maximum div-
ing depth is greater than the one currently shown.
• When scuba diving, never rely completely on the depth sensor reading. The depth
sensor is provided for information purposes only. The depth sensor is not a cali-
brated gauge and should not be used to perform tasks such as calculating de-
compression times.
• When the battery is discharged to approx. one third of its charge state, the mo-
tor‘s electronic control system reduces the maximum power incrementally (Pow-
er Level 3, Power Level 2 etc.). This is done to prolong the life of the battery as
the voltage decreases, while ensuring that there is sufficient reserve capacity for
emergency mode. The two red bars on the battery symbol indicate the start of the
emergency reserve for the SEABOB. In the emergency mode, the power is gradu-
ally reduced automatically until the motor comes to a complete stop. Always take
into account the limited power when timing your ascent to the surface and your
return to the shore or boat.
• Regardless of whether you are using the SEABOB while scuba diving, you should
always adhere to the recommended descent and ascent rates and maximum div-
ing duration in line with applicable diving association guidelines. For your own
safety, however, we urge you to avoid relying solely on the craft‘s equipment.
Never use the depth sensor to calculate descent or ascent rates. For the most
part, crucial safety functions of the craft have been integrated in such a way
that they are redundant. Even so, unexpected failure of these functions is still
possible.
