WARNINGS
Lithium Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries can explode, catch re, and/or cause burns if disassembled,
punctured, cut, crushed, short-circuited, incinerated, or exposed directly to water, re, or
high temperatures. To ensure optimal safety and performance:
• DO use only batteries labeled for use with your Indigo Industries product. Do not use
this battery for any other device.
• DO NOT use counterfeit or inferior-quality batteries in Indigo Industries products
(see above). Use only Indigo Industries brand batteries purchased from an authorized
Indigo Industries Dealer.
• DO NOT place loose battery assemblies in a receptacle containing metal objects.
• DO NOT store batteries with hazardous or combustible material; store in a cool, dry,
ventilated area.
• ALWAYS keep batteries away from children.
• NEVER attempt to recharge an Indigo Industries lithium battery module with any other
recharger than the appropriate Indigo Industries charger purchased from an Authorized
Dealer.
• In the unlikely event lithium batteries catch re, DO NOT attempt to put the re out
with water—use a Class D re extinguisher or other smothering agent.
• Follow applicable laws and regulations for transport, shipping, and disposal of batteries.
For details on recycling lithium, lithium-phosphate, and lithium-ion batteries, please
contact a government recycling agency, your waste-disposal service, or visit reputable
on-line recycling sources such as www.batteryrecycling.com.
Failure to follow these warnings and/or directions could result in damage to your
Indigo Industries battery/batteries and or product.

Rotating Impeller(s)
NAUTILUS MOTORS ARE WATER LUBRICATED. DO NOT RUN FOR EXTENDED
PERIODS OF TIME UNLESS MOTOR IS SUBMERGED.
Never stick any body part or object into the impeller(s). Do not wear loose owing clothing
that may come into contact with rotating impellers. Always wear a cap to prevent long hair
from entering the motor.
Water Intrusion
Be sure to check all sealing areas prior to each and every dive. Battery cap O-rings should
be checked on every dive for damage and replaced every year or with any signs of wear. If
water enters any part of the unit, return to an authorized Indigo Industries dealer for in-
spection. Remove batteries immediately if wet and return them to an Authorized Indigo
Industries dealer for review.

GETTING STARTED
Charging the Battery
e NAUTILUS GLH utilizes two high-power density lithium battery modules.
Each module contains a Battery Management System (BMS) that continuously protects
against over-temperature, over-charge, over-discharge, and over-current. Sensing any of
these events will immediately shut down the system. e BMS also balances the battery cells
on each charge for battery longevity. To ensure the most production from your modules,
an initial charge of 6 hours is needed. Follow these procedures to charge your NAUTILUS
batteries
• Using the cap tool (provided on some models), unscrew the battery caps by
inserting the tool into caps at the rear of the unit through the provided hole and
turning the cap counter clockwise. Because there is a large surface and two
O-rings, there will be continuous tension on the cap.
• Carefully set the cap aside ensuring that the o-rings stay clear of debris and dirt.
• Disconnect the yellow XT60 power connector from the battery.
• Repeat on the second tube.
• Plug in the XT60 lead from the batteries into the charger provided. e charger
can charge both batteries at the same time.
• While charging, the indicator light on the charger will remain constant red.
Once charge is complete, the light on the charger will turn to green.

Replacing the Battery
To replace the batteries, repeat in reverse the removal steps.
• Begin to put the batteries into the tubes by inserting the end of the battery
closest to the wires rst. To avoid damaging, DO NOT DROP THE
BATTERIES INTO THE TUBE
• Stop aer about 1/3 of the battery is in the tube and plug the yellow connection
from the battery into the yellow connector on the DPV.
• e battery nests into the center of the opposite cap. If module doesn't engage
completely into the tube, pull it out ½ inch and reposition until the modules are
centered. DO NOT USE FORCE. e module should t easily into the tube and
front cap.
• Inspect the O-rings on each of the rear cap for signs of wear. If wear exists,
replace. To replace:
• Using an O-ring removal tool hook the inner O-ring and slide it over the outer
O-ring and o of the cap.
• Remove the outer O-ring.
• Ensure that there are no foreign objects in the O-ring grooves.
• Carefully clean with a cotton swab
• Apply Molykote 111 Grease to the new O-rings and carefully stretch them into
their respective grooves beginning with the rst (outer) groove. Next stretch the
inner O-ring over the outer O-ring and into it’s groove.
• Ensure that the O-rings are seated completely in the groove.
• Install the cap and tighten with the cap tightening tool. Tighten until the
tube and cap touch.
• Tuck all wires out of the way of the cap and threads
• Connect the cap tighten with the cap tightening tooluntil the tube and cap touch.

Tank Mounting
e NAUTILUS GLH is designed to mount onto the back of the SCUBA tank. To do so,
loop the strap into the buckle forming a loop. Slide the loop and NAUTILUS GLH over the
tank until the bottom of the NAUTILUS GLH is about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the tank.
Tighten the strap. NOTE: If the BCD cam strap inter-fears, leave the NAUTILUS GLH loose
in position. Tighten the BCD and then tighten NAUTILUS GLH.
Trigger Warnings
• e trigger is ALWAYS to be used in the le hand. is keeps your right hand
free to access your air source should the need arise.
Forward/Reverse
NAUTILUS GLH features both forward and reverse control. e trigger is a rocker design.
When the front (away from the connecting wire) is depressed, NAUTILUS GLH will drive
forward. When toggled toward the wire connection or back, it will reverse.
Sleep Mode
To ensure that maximum battery is available and to protect against accidentally pushing
the trigger in travel, the NAUTILUS GLH goes into a sleep mode when not toggled for three
minutes.
TO TAKE OUT OF SLEEP MODE TOGGLE THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE. THE
SEQUENCE TIMER IS 3 SECONDS... NO NEED TO RUSH.
REVERSE
FORWARD
FORWARD
A tone will sound. If no tone sounds, wait four seconds and re-enter the code.

Failure Mode
• A safety feature designed into the devise protects against the unlikely event that
the motor stay in the on position. In this instance pushing the trigger the opposite
direction will shut down the system.
MAINTENANCE
After Use
•Rinse with fresh water aer every use.
• Disconnect batteries
• Wipe down the nish and free any small debris from the impeller.
CAUTION: Do not insert any object, including ngers, into the impeller housing
unless both batteries have been unplugged. Verify this is complete by depressing
the trigger while out of sleep mode. Only clear this when no power is connected.
Battery O-Rings
• Replace the battery O-rings at the back of NAUTILUS GLH aer every ten cap
removals or if O-rings become damaged in any way. Follow instructions on
page 6.
• Ensure that there is proper lubrication before every use.

Batteries won't charge.
• Ensure the charger cord is plugged into both a power source and the charger itself
• Ensure the charger is properly connected to the battery connector.
• Review charger. Is the light coming on in green (indication of full charge).
• Review battery connector for damage. If found, return battery module and
charger to an Authorized Indigo Industries dealer for inspection.
NAUTILUS GLH won’t turn on.
• Check to ensure the unit is not in sleep mode.
• Ensure the batteries are properly charged.
• Ensure batteries are properly installed and plugged into the unit by unplugging
the connector and replugging it. is must be done on both batteries before a
retry is performed.
• Return the unit to an Authorized Indigo Industries Pro Shop for review.
