2.8.3 Backlight duration
(default: 6 seconds)
You can set the duration of the backlight in
dive mode between 2 and 12 seconds or
to
PUSH ON/PUSH OFF . The backlight is
activated by pressing the LIGHT button.
If you choose PUSH ON/PUSH OFF , the
light will stay on until you press the LIGHT
button again to turn it off.
NOTE:
- The backlight consumes battery
energy: the longer the backlight
stays on, the shorter the life of your
battery.
- If the LOW BATTERY warning is
activated, it is no longer possible to
activate the backlight.
When in surface mode, the light can only
be activated from the
time of day display,
when the right button is marked LIGHT . The
backlight in surface mode has a duration of
1 minute before automatically switching off,
which allows for enough time to navigate
through menus and make changes to
settings. It can be turned off at any time by
pressing the LIGHT button again.
2.8.4 Display contrast
This menu allows you to change the
contrast of the display to adapt to various
levels of light conditions. Upon entering
this menu, a sliding bar appears across the
display. Use the “
” and “ ” buttons to
set your preferred contrast level.
2.8.5 IrDA speed (default: FAST)
Galileo can transmit dive profi le information
from its memory to a PC via an infrared
interface. This submenu allows you to choose
the speed at which the transfer takes place.
On the
FAST speed setting, the transfer is
approximately three times faster than on
the
SLOW setting, but the SLOW setting
has wider compatibility with various infrared
interfaces. We suggest starting with
FAST
and, if that gives trouble, switching to SLOW .
2.8.6 Water contacts (default: ON)
The water contacts allow Galileo to turn
on automatically the moment it senses the
presence of water. This means that you can
jump in the water at any time without having
to worry whether the computer is turned
on. However, if the computer is stored in a
wet environment, it may stay turned on and
consume unnecessary battery power. To
prevent this, you can turn the water contacts
off, but you will have to remember to turn on the
computer manually before starting the dive.
