1 Welcome to Boxfish
Congratulations on your Boxfish Luna! Please read these instructions carefully
before use.
The Boxfish Luna is an ROV with an advanced camera (Sony a7S III or Alpha 1)
with surface recording and camera controls to capture cinematic-quality
underwater video and still images.
In this manual, and the accompanying Boxfish Luna Camera Operations Manual,
we aim to give you easy to follow instructions for using your Boxfish Luna.
We hope you enjoy your Boxfish Luna!

2 Safety
To prevent damage to your Boxfish product or injury to yourself or others, read
the following safety precautions before using your ROV. Keep this manual
where all those who use this product can read it.
Lifting
The ROV, travel cases and larger tether reels (>1.2km version) are a two (2)
person lift. Some components of the Boxfish ROV system are bulky, heavy
and awkward; please take care when lifting.
The ROV can only be safely lifted by the stainless steel bumper/protection
bars, carbon fibre frame tubes, or the lifting eye on top.
Hazards
Take extreme care around deep water and potential slip hazards when
piloting and retrieving the ROV.
Plan your operations to minimize trip hazards from the ROV system,
especially the tether and cables.
Never operate the ROV in the presence of unaware swimmers or other
vessels.
Always supervise children around water and when ROV is operating.
While ROV is running pay close attention to the thrusters. Do not touch the
thrusters any time the ROV is powered on or serious injury may occur. Keep
fingers, long hair and loose clothing or anything that may become entangled
well clear of the thrusters when operating.
The ROV should not be operated close to any object which may get caught
in the thrusters.
DO NOT look directly into the ROV LED illumination lights when they are
turned on.

DO NOT look directly into the ROV scaling lasers (if supplied). The scaling
lasers emit Class 3R laser light. Laser protective eye wear is normally not
necessary. A Class 3R laser is not a skin or materials burn hazard.
Battery safety
The ROV uses lithium-ion batteries. Misuse of the battery may cause the
battery to get hot, rupture or ignite and could cause serious injury.
Be sure to follow the safety rules listed below.
General battery safety
DO NOT place battery in a fire.
DO NOT heat battery.
DO NOT install battery so polarity is reversed.
DO NOT connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery to each
other with conductive material (such as wire).
DO NOT pierce, strike, stand on or subject the battery to strong impacts or
shocks.
DO NOT expose the battery to water or allow the battery to get wet.
DO NOT disassemble or modify the battery.
ONLY use replacement batteries supplied by Boxfish.
Battery charging for storage, diving and shipping
Follow the charging instructions, including the safety information, before
charging your ROV. See Section 6: Charging the ROV battery for all charging
information and the appropriate voltages for diving, storage and shipping.
Boxfish Luna Owner’s Manual
p9 R2. All rights reserved. Information and specifications may change at any time without notice.
Charging the ROV battery immediately after receiving your
ROV
To avoid damage to the battery and/or the ROV and its components, you MUST
charge the battery to 15.6V as soon as you receive your ROV.
Avoiding battery drain and battery damage
Internal components can cause the battery to drain even when the ROV is
powered down.
To protect the battery against total discharge, which is dangerous as well as
damaging for the battery and several other components inside the ROV, please
also power on the ROV once a month for six hours, after which you must charge
the battery to 15.6V.
Shipping the ROV battery
ROV battery must be discharged to a safe voltage of 15.0V for safe shipping
requirements. More information about shipping the ROV is contained in Section
21: Shipping or travelling with your ROV.
Disposing of the ROV battery
If you should need to, please dispose of the ROV battery safely, according to
local battery disposal laws.
Safe ROV operation
The Boxfish Luna takes at least two people to operate: one person to pilot
the ROV and one person to manage the tether cable.
DO NOT use the ROV below its depth rating: check the rating specified in
your order or contact us if you are unsure.
DO NOT operate in currents where control is impeded.
DO NOT operate outside the water temperature range of -10˚C to +45˚C.
DO NOT store the ROV outside the range of -20˚C to +70˚C.
