SEASAM DRONE - Maintenance

Can I change the battery underwater?

No, the battery must be changed only in dry environment.
The battery is protected in a watertight compartment, ensure that water never comes inside the compartment.

How do I change the battery?

To change SEASAM’s battery, put the drone upside down, open the battery’s compartment and replace the battery.
Make sure there is grease on the seal and no dirt to ensure the sealing.
In order to facilitate the opening and the closing of the battery’s compartment, do not hesitate to use the dedicated tool. If you do not have one, please contact the support by email support@notiloplus.com

If the drone is connected to the WiFi Reel, make sure you do not let the cable connected to the drone while changing the battery, it might damage both the drone and the connector.

What kind of maintenance should I do on SEASAM?

SEASAM is designed to be as durable as possible. However, to guarantee the longevity of your drone it is important to respect certain rules.

Cleaning
After each dive it is necessary to rinse the drone well with clear water by insisting on the engines to clean all deposits and impurities that could eventually lead to corrosion and alter the proper functioning of the drone.
This is especially important when diving in salt water.
The ideal is to immerse the drone in a water tank by turning the propellers by hand.
Be careful to ensure that the drone is turned off and disarmed when cleaning.

Storage
• Drone
After each dive and after having rinsed the drone, let it dry a few hours before storing. Then place it in a dry space away from light.
If you own a hardcase or a softcase, make sure that the drone is completely dry before storing it inside to prevent moisture.
• Batteries
Batteries are sensitive to moisture, so it is important to store them in a dry space between each use.
After each dive, be sure not to place the batteries with the wet drone during the return transport so that they do not soak in water.
Do not leave a battery plugged into the drone when not in use.

Seal
Check that the seal of the battery compartment is always greased to facilitate the opening and closing but also to ensure the sealing of this sensitive part.
It is recommended to grease the seal every 20 dives and to change it every 50 dives.

Underwater remote control
The transmitter on the underwater remote is sensitive.
Do not carry the underwater remote control by holding it by the cable to avoid damage. Do not pull the cable either.
Also be careful not to shock the transmitter, at the end of the cable, by dropping it for example.
