GALILEO 2 TEK (G2TEK) USER MANUAL
1 .5
No-Dive warning
If the G2TEK detects a situation of
increased risk (due to potential microbubble
accumulation from previous dives or a CNS
O
2
level above 40%), the
NO DIVE
symbol
will appear to advise you against performing
another dive right away. The suggested
time interval that you should wait prior to
diving again is shown on the dive mode
display, adjacent to the
symbol.
You should not undertake a dive as long
as the no-dive warning is displayed on the
dive computer’s screen. If the warning is
prompted by microbubble accumulation
(as opposed to CNS O
2
over 40%) and
you dive anyway, you will have shorter no-
stop times or longer decompression times.
Moreover, the duration of the microbubble
warning at the end of the dive can increase
considerably.
1 .6
No-Fly time
The
no-fly time (NO FLY)
is the time during
which an exposure to the reduced pressure
(equal to ascending at higher altitudes)
inside the cabin of an airplane could cause
decompression sickness, as calculated by
the decompression model in the computer.
The no-fly text with countdown timer is
shown until the restriction is completed.
To learn more about altitude warnings
and altitude diving, see chapter:
Altitude
diving.
WARNING
Flying while the G2TEK displays the
NO FLY
symbol and countdown timer can result in
serious injury or death.
1 .7
SOS
If you stay above a depth of 0.8m/3ft for
more than 3 minutes without observing
a mandatory decompression stop, the
G2TEK will switch into
SOS
mode. Once
in
SOS
mode the G2TEK will lock up and
will be inoperable as a decompression
dive computer for 24 hours if it was dived
in Scuba mode. If it is used for diving
within the 24hours of an
SOS
lock, it will
automatically switch to Gauge mode and
provide no decompression information.
F
NOTE: In Gauge mode the SOS lock
interval is 48 hours.
WARNING
• Violating a mandatory decompression
obligation may result in serious injury or
death.
• Serious injury or death may result if a diver
does not seek immediate treatment should
any signs or symptoms of decompression
sickness occur after a dive.
• Do not dive to treat symptoms of
decompression sickness.
• Do not dive when the computer is in
SOS
mode.
