PATENT NOTICE
U.S. Patents have been issued, or applied for, to protect the following design features:
Data Sensing and Processing Device (U.S. Patent no. 4,882,678), Ascent Rate Indicator (U.S. Patent no. 5,156,055).
CE
The CE mark is used to mark conformity with the European Union EMC directive 89/336/EEC. Beuchat dive instru-
ments fulfill the required EU directives.
EN 13319 "Diving accessories - Depth gauges and combined depth and time measuring devices - Functional and
safety requirements, test methods" is a European diving depth gauge standard. The VOYAGER 2G is designed to
comply with this standard.
DECOMPRESSION MODEL
The program within the VOYAGER 2G simulates the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a mathematical
model. This model is merely a way to apply a limited set of data to a large range of experiences. The VOYAGER 2G
dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompression theory. Still, using the
VOYAGER 2G, just as using the Navy (or other) No Decompression Tables, is no guarantee of avoid-
ing decompression sickness, i.e. “the bends.” Every diver’s physiology is different, and can even vary from
day to day. No machine can predict how your body will react to a particular dive profile.

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Beuchat and thank you for choosing the VOYAGER 2G !
It is extremely important that you read this Operating Manual in sequence and understand
it completely before attempting to use the VOYAGER 2G as a dive computer.
Remember that technology is no substitute for common sense, and a dive computer only
provides the person using it with data, not the knowledge to use it.
CONTROL BUTTONS
The VOYAGER 2G features three Control Buttons that allow you to select mode options
and access specific information. They are also used to enter Settings, activate the Back-
light, and acknowledge the Audible Alarm.
Throughout this manual they will be referred to as the M, A, and S buttons.
• Front/Left - Mode (M) button
• Front/Right - Advance (A) button
• Right/Side - Select (S) button

OPERATING MODES
The VOYAGER 2G features 3 Operating Modes, NORM (Fig.
1A) which is used for Air and Nitrox SCUBA dives, GAUG (Fig.
1B) used for SCUBA dives in which Nitrogen-Oxygen calcula-
tions are not performed, and FREE (Fig. 2) used for breath hold
activities that do not use SCUBA.
> NORM Mode allows access to Fly, Sat, Memo, and
Historical Modes, as well as entering settings.
> GAUG Mode is similar without access to Sat.
> FREE Mode only allows access to specific Free Modes.
AUDIBLE ALARM
Most warning situations that activate the Audible Alarm while
operating in NORM or GAUG Mode cause the VOYAGER 2G
to emit 1 beep per second for 10 seconds, or until the situation
is corrected, or it is acknowledged by momentarily pressing and
releasing the S button (less than 2 seconds).
After being acknowledged and the situation corrected, the
Alarm will sound again upon reentry into the warning situation,
or entry into another type of warning situation.
FREE Mode has its own set of Alarms which emit 3 short beeps
either 1 or 3 times which cannot be acknowledged or set Off.
