Introduction of Control
The FIFISH V-EVO uses the patented Smart Thruster Array™ to ensure the ultimate
maneuverability and delivers the 6 DOF (degree of freedom).
V-EVO can move in descend & ascend, left and right, forward and backward.
V-EVO can rotate in 360yaw (z-axis), 360pitch (y-axis), 360roll (x-axis).
We have simplified the Left Joystick, Right Joystick, Left Wheel and Right Wheel into
the following symbol. The arrows on RC indicate the command and the arrows on ROV
indicate the actual movements. For more information, please check on FIFISH APP,
Go Dive/General Settings/Second Column.

Methods of Control
FIFISH V-EVO supports 3 modes for control: A, S, and C.
A is Attitude Auto mode, S is Sport mode, C is the Combination mode.
1. Attitude Mode
Attitude mode is designed for beginners. The ROV will not roll in Attitude mode.
The ROV will stay in same depth moving when depth holding is ON. Even with
pitch angle, the depth will be the same.
2. Sport Mode
Sport mode is designed for skillful pilots. Sport mode will enable the rolling
freedom, so, you will access all 6 degree of freedom of V-EVO. Controlling and
moving based on the FPV (First Person View), do not operate in third person
view. The ROV will only stay in the same depth with no command input, when
depth holding ON.
3. Combination Mode
User puts the mobile phone into VR glasses after turning ON VR mode in the
FIFISH APP toolbox, and turns the controller to C mode. Combination mode
activate the head tracking controlling via VR Goggle[1], which allow pilot to use
the VR Goggle[1] to pitch, roll and yaw. Combination mode delivers the intuitive
control and immersive experiences. Combination mode supports head tracking
and remote controller working together.
[1] To use Combination mode, users need to have user’s own VR glasses or FIFISH VR Goggle ready

Robotic Arm Installation (Optional)
Please power off the ROV before installing
A. Insert the bracket into front vent holes
B. B.Fasten the 3 screws to secure robotic arm on the bracket

15
C. Align the cable to the Q-interface and fasten the bolt
D. The robotic arm can be activated ONLY in Attitude mode (Mode A).
Use the right wheel to open and close the robotic claws

16
Maintenance
1. Soak ROV at least 1 hour after dive, then let the motors run in fresh water at least
10 minutes and rinse the ROV with fresh water. Air dry and avoid direct sunlight (for
more information, please check the Maintenance Guide)
2. Keep the every connector (port and plug) dry and clean at all time. Put on the
protective cap all the time. The salt and moisture may cause corrosion on the
connector. Clean the plug with running fresh water and dry with cotton pad or tissue
paper.
3. Check the propellers after every dive. Make sure NO entanglement, i.e. seaweed or
fishing lines. Turn on the ROV (See the Preparation & Connection Section ) and
check the thruster and test movement and rotation.
4. Clean sand regularly. Soak the ROV inside the clean fresh water at least 1 hour.
Shake ROV tail down or head down position, let sand washed out through the
venting holes. Wash until the clean water drips out.
5. Check the tether on regular basis, replace the tether if break or damage appears.
6. Store ROV and RC in dry and cool environment (Temperature range: 5°C to 25°C
or 41°F to 77°F).
7. For long-term storage, keep 50% to 60% of battery level. Charge and discharge
every 90 days to keep the activation of Lithium battery.
