SAFETY FIRST!

The following safety tips may prevent injury to you as the operator and those around you, or damage to the
VideoRay submersible.
3.1

USE COMMON SENSE

1) Read the safety and operating instructions before operating the VideoRay.
2) Heed all warnings printed on the system components and in the manual.
3) Retain this manual and other safety and operating instructions for future reference.
4) Be aware of and alert to potential hazards in and around water, including weather conditions, and follow
standard water safety practices.
3.2

ELECTRICAL AND VIDEORAY SAFETY

1) Electricity and Water don't mix! Use caution with all power supply cables and do not handle them
while you are in contact with water or allow them to come into contact with water. The VideoRay
submersible, the tether and approved accessories are the only items that can be safely placed in water.
2) Do not use any system that contains broken or ruptured insulation, frayed wires or loose connections.
Repair such conditions before resuming operations.
3) Protect the Integrated Control Box from splashes and immersion in water when open. The controller is
sealed when closed, and splash resistant when open.
4) Always plug the system into a grounded receptacle.
5) There are no user serviceable parts inside the Integrated Control Box. Only qualified technicians or
VideoRay personnel should perform electrical servicing.
6) Do not subject the VideoRay to impact.
7) Never operate the lights for more than 60 seconds out of water. Never operate the thrusters for more
than 20 seconds out of water. Your VideoRay is designed for submerged operation and requires water
to cool the lights and thrusters.
8) Do not stress or kink the tether or bend it tighter than the minimum bend diameter, which is about 3
inches. Do not allow the tether to be deployed over sharp edges or rough surfaces.
3.3

PERSONAL SAFETY

Be aware of the safety of those around you!
1) Beware of swimmers or boaters. The VideoRay and tether can pose a hazard to swimmers, divers, and
small craft, as well as persons in and around the operating area. Obtain the acknowledgment of those
around you prior to launch. Make sure everyone within VideoRay's range of operation is aware the
vehicle is being deployed.
2) Keep your operating area neat and free of accident causing clutter.
3) Keep fingers and objects clear of the thruster propellers.
