GALILEO 2 (G2) USER MANUAL
1 .4 No-Dive warning
If the G2 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.
You should not undertake a dive as long
as the no-dive warning is displayed on
the computer 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 .5 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 G2 displays the
NO FLY
symbol and countdown timer can result in
serious injury or death.
1 .6 SOS
If you stay above a depth of 0.8m/3ft for
more than 3 minutes without observing a
prescribed decompression stop, the G2 will
switch into
SOS mode. Once in SOS mode
the G2 will lock up and will be inoperable
as a decompression dive computer for
24 hours. 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.
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.
