GENERAL - Good Practices

Turn SEASAM off properly

Do not turn off the drone by removing the battery or the emergency plug. As it could damage the drone and its internal components as well as disrupt the pressure sensor inside the drone.
The emergency plug should be removed only in emergency situation.

To turn SEASAM off properly :

  1. Turn off the underwater remote
  2. Position the underwater remote on its dedicated place on the drone
  3. Wait until the drone starts to flash its lamps
  4. Remove the remote immediately (otherwise it will restart)

SEASAM will continue to flashes its lamps until full shut down. Then the green front LED will turn off.
You can now remove the battery.

Record videos and photos

With Seasam Control you can record medias from the drone’s internal camera.
To ensure the record is saved on the drone’s SD card do not shut down neither the drone nor the Seasam App nor the Explorer Cable & WiFi Reel before the end of the record.
Wait until you have finished recording before turning off all the equipment.

Calibrate the drone on regular basis

To ensure a better use of the drone do not forget to calibrate it on regular basis or every dive as well as the remote controller.
Connect the drone to the WiFi Reel and SEASAM Control. Put the drone on a flat and stable surface.
On SEASAM Control go to the “Settings” tab and select “Drone Calibration”.

Your drone is now calibrated.

WiFi Reel emission

The WiFi connection between the WiFi Reel and the Unit control is made thanks to an antenna. The antenna is omnidirectional;  however it emits best on the two faces of the WiFi Reel.
When using Seasam in ROV Mode, make sure:

  • Nothing is between you and the WiFi Reel.
  • You are in the best emission zone.

Where to store my batteries ?

Batteries, whether charged or not, must be store in a dry place.

Caution ! After the dive, do not store them in the same place as the wet drone. Do not leave the battery plugged or connected to the drone as well. The batteries are not waterproof !
