USB flash disk operations

1. Connect the USB cable to your G2. The 

following display will appear on the G2 
display:

2. Select disk. The following display will 

appear the G2 screen.

3. Your PC or Mac will detect the G2 flash 

memory as a normal USB memory 
sticks.

4. You can now select the G2 flash disk on 

your browser.

There are 3 folders on the G2 flash disk: 
Logbooks, Pictures and System. 

 WARNING

Do not erase any of the system folders from 
your G2! Removing system folders will lead to 
a malfunctioning G2. Diving with a G2 is not 
safe if data has been removed. 

The logbook folder is a hidden file. You can 
make a backup copy of it, but you should 
not remove it.

You can store pictures (fish, underwater 
plants or maps) that the G2 can display 
during diving in the Pictures folder.

The G2 supports the following formats: jpg, 
bmp and gif. Pictures must be stored in a 
320 x 240 pixels size format!
In the System folder there are several sub 
folders.
