Safety Guide

1. Please use our product in open water and in an environment with relatively clear water quality. Try to avoid operating in an environment with too many aquatic plants, too turbid, or very complicated underwater structures.
2. Make sure there are no dense radio devices or huge metal objects around the wireless relay and turn on the antenna correctly to avoid affecting the reception of the wireless relay signal.
3. Please use the official standard charger to charge, please charge in time after the battery is alarmed, and do not completely use up.
4. After use, please rinse with fresh water and dry in time to avoid seawater corrosion, and store in a dry and ventilated place.
5. The host is designed with positive buoyancy before installed buoyancy material. It is recommended not to install buoyancy material in fresh water, in seawater can be installed buoyancy material, please adjust the installation position according to the actual balance of the host, subject to the best balance the host can achieve
6. The wireless relay is designed as low-grade waterproof standards, please do not use it directly in water or wash it directly with water.
7. Before using/charging, please check all waterproof connectors if any liquid left such as water, please make it clear before connect. It is recommended to connect the wireless relay first, then connect to the host, the system will boot, when finish using, only needs to disconnect the cable and the host.
8. Please carefully check the motor and propeller make sure it clear before use, do not put your fingers or other body parts into the thruster net cover when the product is working, please clean the surface attachments of the motor and propeller after the machine is off, and wash with fresh water.
9. Aged 16 and below must be under surveillance of adults when use this product, please control the speed while using, avoid excessively fast movement in case scratches or damage equipment.
10. Do not place heavy objects on this product, do not expose it to the sun, and do not store it in a very humid/corrosive environment.
11. Please connect the host and the wireless relay and connect to the APP, follow the instructions to calibrate the compass, and check that the video, data transmission and control are normal, then put it in the water. According to the use environment, should set sea water or fresh water in the APP to avoid affecting the water depth data.

VI. Maintenance

1. After each use in sea water, please soak the underwater robot in fresh water for at least 1 hour and run it in fresh water for 10 minutes
2. Keep each port and connector dry and clean, always tighten the protective cover if necessary. Salt and humidity will corrode the conductors of the connectors. Please wash with running water, and use absorbent cotton or handkerchief to wipe off the excess water.
3. After each use, check whether the propeller is entangled with seaweed, fishing line and other foreign objects. Start the fuselage and check whether the propeller can rotate normally.
4. Rinse the sand and gravel regularly, soak the underwater robot in fresh water for at least one hour, and shake the underwater robot upside down to drain the sand and gravel from the drainage holes until clear water flows out.
5. Check the buoyancy cable regularly. If it is found to be worn or broken, please replace it in time.
6. Please store the underwater robot in a dry environment with a temperature range of 5°C to 25°C.
7. If you need to store the machine for a long time, please keep the battery level between 50%-60%. Please keep the battery level between 50% and 60% if you charge it every 90 days. If the storage time is more than 90 days, you must recharge it. If you don’t charge it in time, it may cause the battery to be over-discharged and damaged. This kind of damage is unrecoverable.
