2. Menus, settings and functionsEnglish2.4.3 Setting the declination(default: 0 degrees)Depending on the exact location on theplanet, there can be a deviation betweentrue North and magnetic North. Anycompass will always show magnetic North,so via this menu you can set a value forthe so-called declination that will make thecompass show true North instead.2.4.2 Setting the auto-off time(default: 15 seconds)While diving, the compass lay-out replacesthe main dive computer screen confi gurationwhen the right button is pressed and held.When in compass mode, Galileo uses morebattery energy than normal, so it is desirableto have the computer switch back to theregular confi guration after a certain timeinterval. This menu allows you to set thistime interval between 5, 10, 15, 30 and60 seconds or to PUSH ON/PUSH OFF.In this last setting, the compass lay-outremains on the screen until you press andhold the right button to revert to the regulardive computer screen confi guration. NOTE:- If a warning or an alarm is triggeredwhile in compass mode, Galileoswitches back to the regular lay-outregardless of the auto-off setting.- If Galileo is in compass mode when itenters level stops or decompression,it also switches back to the regularlay-out regardless of the auto-offsetting.2.5 AltimeterThis menu allows you to use Galileo asan altimeter. Upon entering this menu,the current altitude is displayed. Altitudeis interpreted by the computer from themeasured barometric pressure and, assuch, it is strongly dependent on theweather. Consequently, for accurate altitudemeasurements, the altimeter has to be setto a known altitude at least once a day.23
