The scooter parameters may be configured individually.
To do so, you will need to activate the scooter’s configuration mode.
Entering the configuration mode
To begin the configuration, hold both buttons on the left and right steering handles and turn on the scooter using the main switch. The OLED display will show screen 6 “Settings”:
Information and functions on screen 6
| EXIT | Select to exit the configuration and go back to screen 2A or 2B. |
| SET | Select to go to configuration details on screen 7. |
Selecting the configuration options
Information and functions on screen 7
| NEXT | Move to the next configuration option listed on screen. Three-time selection will take the user to the screen 8. |
| SET | Selecting from among those listed on the screen. Confirming the choice. |
| Max power | Maximum power – entering mode for setting maximum scooter motor power. |
| Mode | Selecting the engine operation mode. |

| Security | Entering the mode enabling setting security functions. |
Setting the maximum scooter power
Information and functions on screen 7A
| SET | The user can choose from 60 to 100% of maximum power of the scooter. Each button press increases the scooter power by 10%. After reaching 100% the next press will return to the level of 60%. |
| EXIT | Pressing the button returns to screen 7. |
Note!
Reducing the maximum power of the scooter increases its range and is recommended especially for recreational use during training or immediately after as well as by persons with little experience.
Selecting the dynamic setting
 |  |
Information and functions on screen 7B1
| EXIT | Confiming the selection to return to screen 6. |
| SET | Selecting the appropriate engine operation charactristics. |
| CONSTANT RPM | This is the standard driving mode (known from “model 2017”). The acceleration characteristics correspond to the former setting “fast”. This mode will provide a smooth starting ramp, gradually accelerating the diver to the desired speed. This mode provides RPM control, meaning that the propeller behavior is identical above and below the surface. The bigger the load (more equipment, multiple divers on one scooter), the more power will be directed to the engine, in order to maintain the selected RPM level. |
Information and functions on screen 7B2
| EXIT | Confiming the selection to return to screen 6. |
| SET | Selecting the appropriate engine operation charactristics. |
| CONSTANT TORQUE | This is a new driving mode, designed for professional users requiring the quickest possible DPV acceleration. This mode provides torque control, meaning that the engine torque will remain constant – independent of the load on the DPV. The effects of this mode can only be experienced below the surface, when the propeller moves water instead of air and the scooter pulls a load. |
Caution!
Please note that above the surface, the DPV will accelerate to maximum RPM, since there is no considerable load. This will happen even in lower gears. It is therefore recommended to use this mode only in the water.
Note!
This is a comfort setting to adapt the scooter’s behavior to your personal preferences and also a practical feature for students.

- 1000Wh Li-Ion
For Ghost series:
- 600Wh NiMh, for special applications
- 1500Wh Li-Ion
