Operation

1. Before connecting the ROV, please check the O-ring at the tether port, the Qinterfaces, and inside the SD card slot to ensure they are intact anddry.
2. Before putting the ROV in water, please check the connection status of theROV’stether port to ensure a secure connection between the ROV and the tether spool.
3. Before putting the ROV in water, please check the protective caps of both the Qinterfaces and the SD\ card slot to ensure they are securely tightened.
4. Before putting the ROV in the water, please check the ROV’s battery connection to ensure the correct connection. Please scan the QR code to check the video: (MOLYKOTE 111 grease recommended for battery connectors and O-ring.)
5. Before use, please ensure that the male and female connectors of the battery are dry and clean.
6. After use, wipe off any water stains on the male and female connectors of the battery.
7. Regarding motor maintenance, please refer to page 65 or scan the QR code to check the relevant manuals.

Controlling

Definition of Controlling

The FIFISH E-GO PLUS uses the patented Smart Thruster Array™ to ensure the ultimate maneuverability and delivers the 6 DOF (degrees of freedom). • E-GO can move inclined & ascend, left and right, forward and backward. • E-GO can rotate in 360 yaw (z-axis), 360 pitch (y-axis), 360 roll (x-axis). We have simplified the Left Control Stick, Right Control Stick, Left Wheel andRightWheel into the following symbol. The arrows on RC indicate the commandandthearrows on ROV indicate the actual movements.

Controlling Modes

FIFISH E-GO supports 3 modes for control: A, S, and C. A is Attitude mode, S is Sport mode, and C is the Combination mode.

Attitude Mode

Attitude mode is designed for beginners. The ROV will not roll in Attitude mode. The ROV will stay in the same depth,,h moving when depth holding is ON. Evenwithpitchangle, the depth will be the same. Sport Mode

Sport Mode

is designed for skillful pilots. Sport mode will enable the rolling freedom, so you will access all degrees of freedom of the ROV. Controlling and moving based on the First Person View, do not operate in the third-person view. The ROV will only stay at the same depth with no command input when depth holding is ON.

Combination Mode

User puts the mobile phone into VR glasses after turning on the ONV R mode in the FIFISHAPP toolbox, and turns the controller to C mode.

Accessories Attached

The right wheel will ONLY be working in Attitude mode or Combinationmodeformotor driven accessories. For example, a  robotic arm, a water sampler, roboticfishclamp, a compass ruler, and a mud sampler, etc
