User tips

Safety Instructions:

1. Please use in the open water with clear water quality. Try to avoid using in the environment with too many aquatic plants, too cloudy, or very complex underwater structures.
2. Ensure that there are no high-power radio devices or large metal objects around the wireless relay. Open/install the antenna correctly to avoid affecting the normal reception of wireless signals.
3. Please use the official standard charger to charge the battery. When there is a low-battery warning, please charge it in time, and do not run out of battery.
4. After use, please rinse in fresh water and dry in time, to reduce seawater corrosion. Store in a dry and ventilated place.
5.  The drone is designed with positive buoyance. It is recommended not to install the balancing weight in freshwater, but to install it in seawater. The installation position should be adjusted according to the actual balance state of the drone, whichever is the best balance that the drone can achieve.
6.  Wireless relay is designed for low-grade waterproofing standards, do not use it directly in water.
7. Please check if any residual liquid such as water is in all water-proof connectors. Please clean them before connection/charging. It is recommended to connect to the wireless relay first, and then to the drone. The system will be powered on after connection and will be powered off when not connected.
8.  Please carefully check if any debris on the surface of the motor and propeller before use; Do not put fingers or other body parts into the propeller when the drone is on. Please clean the debris on the surface of the motor and propeller when powered off and rinse it with water before starting.
