Galileo SOL Manual - Scubapro

2. Menus, settings and functions
English
2.4.3 Setting the declination
(default: 0 degrees)
Depending on the exact location on the
planet, there can be a deviation between
true North and magnetic North. Any
compass will always show magnetic North,
so via this menu you can set a value for
the so-called declination that will make the
compass show true North instead.
2.4.2 Setting the auto-off time
(default: 15 seconds)
While diving, the compass lay-out replaces
the main dive computer screen confi guration
when the right button is pressed and held.
When in compass mode, Galileo uses more
battery energy than normal, so it is desirable
to have the computer switch back to the
regular confi guration after a certain time
interval. This menu allows you to set this
time interval between 5, 10, 15, 30 and
60 seconds or to PUSH ON/PUSH OFF.
In this last setting, the compass lay-out
remains on the screen until you press and
hold the right button to revert to the regular
dive computer screen confi guration.
NOTE:
- If a warning or an alarm is triggered
while in compass mode, Galileo
switches back to the regular lay-out
regardless of the auto-off setting.
- If Galileo is in compass mode when it
enters level stops or decompression,
it also switches back to the regular
lay-out regardless of the auto-off
setting.
2.5 Altimeter
This menu allows you to use Galileo as
an altimeter. Upon entering this menu,
the current altitude is displayed. Altitude
is interpreted by the computer from the
measured barometric pressure and, as
such, it is strongly dependent on the
weather. Consequently, for accurate altitude
measurements, the altimeter has to be set
to a known altitude at least once a day.
