A boat hook can also be used from heights. > 1,5 m/s > 1,5 m/s 150 m 150 m It is not recommended to lower the drone by the tether as this will shorten the lifetime of the tether. Before picking the drone up from the water, make sure that both lock depth and lock heading are turned off. If not, the thrusters will try to compensate for movements also when the drone is out of the water.
After each dive in salt water ON/OFF magnet 24 When finished with the dive, make sure that both the drone and the surface unit are turned off. The drone is turned off by putting the “OFF” side of the magnet attached to the tether bag against the LED light window. When the drone is turned off all indicator lights in the LED light window will be off. To avoid unnecessary wear on the drone and tether, after each dive in salt water, the drone and tether must be rinsed with fresh water.
