5.3.12 Operation
1. Switch on the SEABOB. The Information Display ap-
pears on the display.
Tip
: After a prolonged phase of being idle, the system
will automatically start the motor initialization. The mo-
tor will make two slow turns. The initialization takes
about 5 seconds.
2. To increase the power, tap the green button (repeat-
edly). The power display increases by one Power Level
with every tap of the green button.
3. To reduce the power, tap the red button (repeatedly).
The power display decreases by one Power Level with
every tap of the red button.
4. Push the Trigger against the Control Grip and hold it
there. The motor starts, and the SEABOB begins mov-
ing. A minimum power of Power Level 1 is required
for starting.
5. The power can also be adjusted while operating the
craft. Operation can be interrupted by releasing the
Trigger temporarily.
Tip:
If the Trigger is not activated within 10 seconds
while operation is interrupted, the current Power Level
defaults back to Power Level 2 for safety reasons.
6. To stop, hold on to both Control Grips securely, and
release the Trigger in your right hand. The SEABOB
stops.
When the battery is discharged to approx. one third of
its charge state, the motor‘s electronic control system
reduces the maximum power incrementally (Power 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 the 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 gradually reduced
automatically until the motor comes to a complete stop.
Always take into account the limited power when timing
your return to the shore or boat.
Charge the SEABOB after each use (within 24 hours) to at
least the charge state "Air Transport / Storage" to avoid
irreparable total discharge of the valuable Lithium-Ion
batteries.
