This document serves as a guideline to operate

Navatics underwater vehicle, MITO.

1. Product Profile

2.1. Introduction

Navatics MITO is an underwater vehicle that can

be used to explore depths. It uses four highly

efficient thrusters to stabilize and maneuvre itself

underwater. It captures 4K videos and 12

megapixel photos, and is capable of carrying extra

payload without deterioriation in performance.

MITO boasts 4 knots (2 m/s) maximum speed. The

battery, designed to be replaceable, runs for 2

hours when fully charged. The tether floatation

comes with 4 hours runtime, equipped with solar

panel to extend usage duration.

2.1. Features Highlights

Navatics MITO is designed to be small and stable.

The size and battery capacity is designed to fit the

airlines specification for carry-on luggage.

Camera: MITO shoots 4K video up to 30 frames

per second, and 12 megapixel stills. The larger

sensor size improves MITO's low light performance.

Controller: Navatics MITO is equipped with four

thrusters that enables it to manuevre freely

underwater. It is capable of tilting up and down to

angles while holding its depth, heading, and

orientation. The controller is very simple, it is very

easy to pick up.

Video Transmission: Navatics MITO is equipped

with Sensethink's Senseplay video transmission

system, allowing it to transmit 1080p HD video at

30 fps from 500 m away.

MITO

This section introduces steps to setup and calibrate

MITO's array of sensors before using it.

3.1. Using Navatics MITO

3.1.1 Starting Up Navatics MITO

Navatics MITO comes with a tether floatation and a

Senseplay Race controller. It comes assembled

with propellers. The instructions below is provided

to start MITO.

1) To start MITO, first open the battery

chamber at the bottom part of Navatics

MITO. Connect the battery cable to the

battery's waterproof connector, then push

the battery into the chamber to lock it in

place.

2) To turn it on, switch on the battery and

close the chamber.

3) When started, MITO is going to check for

the states of its sensor. In the process, it will

turn on LED lights as an indicator, as well

as changing the color of LED ring to

indicate the process. Once all sensors are

calibrated, the LED lights will turn off and

the LED ring will turn white. If the process is

stuck, find the Sensor Calibration

instructions on section 3.2 on Sensor

Calibration

3.1.2 Starting Up Tether Roller

The tether roller is a floataion device that receives

the data from Navatics MITO and transmit it to

Senseplay Race remote controller. The steps to

start a roller is a following:

1) Next, connect the tether from the tether

floatation to the top connector of the robot

and turn on the tether by pulling up the

antennae

2) There are 2 LED indicators on the tether

roller, power indicator and signal indicator.

Blinking signal indicator shows that the

tether roller is ready to transmit video and

data to the remote controller.

3) When using the tether roller, it is strongly

recommended to cover the Type-C charging

port with the provided rubber cover attached

to the charging port

3.1.3 Starting Up Remote Controller (Senseplay

Race)

The Senseplay Race remote controller is the

transciever device that allows Navatics smartphone

app to receive video from Navatics MITO, and

allows users to send control commands to Navatics

MITO. To use Senseplay Race controller, users

can follow the following step:

1) If users have not bind the controller with

Navatics account, please check section

4 for account registration and device

binding

2) IF the device binding is completed, users

.4.2 Smartphone Application Depth Indicator The smartphone app is integral in operating MITO. It provides important information required to drive MITO, as well as vehicle settings. Users can also use the app to access the photos taken, then apply color correction filter to it. The depth indicator shows the controllable target depth (right), as well as the MITO's current depth (left) Before entering the camera view, users would require to bind the Navatics MITO device and the remote to their account.

Charger and Charging Indicator: Navatics MITO tether roller is charged using common USB charger via Type-C charging port. It supports both normal charging and fast charging. As an indicator, the power LED will start blinking when it is charging. In fast charging, the power LED in Navatics MITO tether roller will blink faster than in normal charging. Navatics MITO tether roller is also equipped with solar charger, adding 1 hour usage in bright, sunny day.

the following maintenance procedures: 1) After diving, especially in salt water, please rinse Navatics MITO with fresh water. This will help prevent salt cumulation and corossion (especially in connectors) 2) Dry the connector, ensure that no water is in the connector pins before storing. 3) Ensure that the connector is tightly connected, and the O-Ring is present around the head of male connector. This will ensure the longevity of the connector pins.
