General
Handle the Blueye underwater drone with care. Do not throw the drone into the water when launching or drop it onto hard surfaces as this may damage sensitive electronic components in the drone.
Do not attempt to insert foreign objects into the device.
Waterproofing
Always make sure the battery cap is closed and secured before diving. The charger and the remote controller are not waterproof and need to be kept away from water and dust.
The surface unit is splash-proof (IP54). The surface unit cannot be submerged in water.
Transport and storing
Under transport and when storing the drone, we advise you to use the carrying box and dry bags for the protection of your device and equipment. The drone and equipment contain sensitive electronic components that may be damaged if dropped from heights, cracked, bent or exposed to extreme temperatures.

Charging
Only charge the Blueye Smart Battery with the supplied charger. Before charging the drone make sure the inside of the charging connector is dry and clean. We recommend charging the drone with the charging connector (battery inside the drone) as much as possible to limit the wear of the O-rings on the aluminum battery cap.
Charging of the Surface Unit and the remote controller is done with a MicroUSB. We recommend using the included MicroUSB when charging devices. If lost or in need of additional, email contact@blueye.no for spare or for more information on using third-party cables.
The charger and the remote controller are NOT waterproof and need to be kept away from water and dust.
Operating temperature
Don't expose the Blueye underwater drone to extreme heat or cold. The drones are designed to be used in temperatures between -5° and +40° C (23° and 104° F).
