OPERATING MODES

As described previously, there are 3 Operating Modes -

•  NORM - for Air or Nitrox SCUBA dives

•  GAUG - for SCUBA dives with no nitrogen/oxygen calculations

•  FREE - for breath hold dives with no SCUBA

SURFACE MODE

After activation and while the NORM Surface Main screen is displayed, depressing the 

M button repeatedly (2 sec each time) will access the GAUG and FREE Surface Main 

screens.  Pressing M momentarily will select the one displayed for operation. 

 

•  The mode selected (NORM, GAUG, or FREE) will remain on display for 2 hours until 

a dive is made or another operating mode is selected.

If a dive has been conducted within the past 24 hours, the Surface Main screen for that 

mode will be displayed until changed.

At any time while operating in Surface modes, the VOYAGER 2G will enter Dive Mode 

upon descent to 1,5 M (5 FT) for 5 seconds.

The VOYAGER 2G will enter post dive Surface Mode following a dive upon ascent to 

1,2 M (4 FT) for 1 second.  The Surface Interval Time colon will flash during the first 10 

minutes after a NORM/GAUG dive, or first 1 minute after a FREE dive.

During the first 2 hours after a dive, the Surface Main screen (NORM, GAUG, or FREE) 

remains on display.
