Warning
Never operate your DTG2 in the presence of unaware swimmers or divers.
Always use a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) and obey any laws pertaining to the operation of your
launch vehicle.
NOTE: Because of the sharp running hardware included with this product, we do not recommend a
rubber blow up raft.
Extreme caution should be taken if piloting the DTG2 ROV in swimming pools, as the sharp edges
could damage the pool liner.
The DTG2 running hardware is very sharp. Be very careful when working on and around the parts.
While the motor is running pay close attention to the propeller. Do not come in contact, or put
fingers near the propeller at any time the system is turned on or serious injury will result.
The speed and mass of this DTG2 ROV can inflict property damage and severe personal injury if a
collision occurs. Never run this ROV in the presence of unaware swimmers or boaters or where the
possibility of collision with people or property exists.
The density of each body of water is different, before operation in a new body of water, adjusting
the weight of the ROV is necessary to avoid damage to the ROV or property around it. Each DTG2
ROV is equipped with ballast weights to place under the handles or on the bottom of the ROV.
Deep Trekker products are to be used by people 16 years of age and over.
Always read the owner’s manual before operation.

Safety Precautions
Never attempt to swim after a stalled DTG2. Do not get in the water for any reason to retrieve your
DTG2. Return the DTG2 by gently pulling it back to the boat by the tether. In cases where the
tether is snagged or severed, contact a certified diver to perform the retrieval for you.
Deep Trekker products are to be used by those aged 16 and over.
Do not touch the propeller when the motor is spinning. Pay equally close attention to items such as
loose clothing, shirtsleeves, ties, scarves, long hair or anything that may become entangled in the
spinning propeller. If your fingers, hands, etc. come in contact with the spinning propeller, you may
be severely injured.
Keep your launching and piloting area tidy and your tether neatly rolled to avoid tripping while
operating the DTG2.
The speed and mass of this DTG2 ROV can inflict property damage and severe personal injury if a
collision occurs. Never run this ROV in the presence of unaware swimmers or boaters or where the
possibility of collision with people or property exists.
Be aware of dangers around you, including weather, and obey all applicable laws while using
standard water safety procedures.
The density of each body of water is different, before operation in a new body of water, adjusting
the weight of the ROV is necessary to avoid damage to the ROV or property around it. Each DTG2
ROV is equipped with ballast weights to place under the handles or on the bottom of the ROV.
The DTG2 ROV is equipped with lithium ion batteries, completely enclosed in both the ROV and
controller. Under no circumstances try to open or disassemble the batteries, or expose the batteries
to extreme heat or mechanical shock such as dropping it on a hard surface. If you have not used the
battery pack for a considerable amount of time, the remaining battery life may shorten. The battery
pack will gradually discharge over time even while not in use. We recommend fully charging the
batteries every 6 months to ensure they do not fully self-discharge over time.

Delivery and Inspection
Thank you for purchasing the DTG2 inspection and exploration system; the world’s only premium grade,
portable, affordable and easy to use underwater ROV. We want the time you spend with your new
remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to be entertaining and successful so please read the entire manual
before using this product for the first time.
The DTG2 ROV is ready for use as delivered from the factory. The unit has been fully tested and
inspected prior to shipping, including a pressure test equivalent to the maximum dive depth.
Leaving the batteries fully drained for long periods of time will cause permanent damage. We
recommend fully charging them every 6 months to ensure they do not fully self-discharge over time.
For more information regarding the charging, see the section in the manual entitled Charging.
Fully inspect your ROV to ensure it has not been damaged during shipping. If you suspect a problem
please contact Deep Trekker support or your authorized Deep Trekker Dealer for assistance.
The DTG2 is shipped to you with the two shipping set screws in the locked position, the DTG2 will not
operate with these screws locked. This ensures that the rough motions associated with the delivery
service do not damage the internal frame and the servo motor that turns it.
To release the shipping set screws the following steps
must be taken.
1) Rotate ROV upside down with the handles facing
downward. This will ensure it does not rotate
until the screw is completely backed out. While in
this position, turn both set screws using a flathead
screwdriver counter-clockwise until the set screw
heads are firmly against the cover plate.
*DO NOT COMPLETELY REMOVE THE SHIPPING SET
SCREW UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS OPENS
UP THE SEALED UNIT AND WILL LEAD TO IMMEDIATE
FAILURE IF SUBMERGED*
2) Slowly rotate ROV to its level position.

System Overview
The DTG2 ROV is designed to operate in fresh or salt water between the temperatures of -5C [23F] to
45C [113F]. This unique ROV incorporates internal/onboard batteries, so the system is completely
portable with no top side generator or box required. The tether is also much smaller and lighter than a
tether designed to carry power. The controller replicates a traditional game pad, reducing the learning
curve of successfully operating the DTG2 significantly.
The use of magnetic couplers means that there is no dynamic shaft seal on board the DTG2. This feature
dramatically increases reliability and requires no maintenance, greasing or replacing any seals on the
ROV.
The patented pitch control aims the outer shell (thrusters) to any angle +/- 90 degree from center for a
total of 180 degrees. This system that works entirely from within the hull, eliminates the requirement of
a third or fourth thruster and further increases reliability and ease of use.
The ROV and tether are 100% waterproof and should not take on water unless damaged. The standard
controller is splash resistant, but should not be submerged or power washed at any time. Other
optional viewing systems offered are not waterproof in any way and need to be used with care of in
outdoor environments. The ROV charger and controller charger are indoor products that should never
be operated near water or wet conditions.
