• 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.
• Always keep an eye on the remaining operating time shown on the display. When
the accumulator is discharged to approx. one third of its charge state, the maxi
-
mum power is automatically reduced incrementally (80 %, 70 %, 60 % etc.) to
prolong accumulator cell life. 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". The estimated remaining operating time in
emergency mode is approx. 5 minutes, with a continual reduction in power until
the motor has stopped. Always take into account the limited power when timing
your ascent to the surface and your return to the shore or boat.
• You must always ensure that you are able to resurface and return to the shore or
boat by yourself without the assistance of the SEABOB.
• 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. Always check
the display showing the remaining operating time of the SEABOB. 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 pos
-
sible.
