Using Your Galileo
™
For The First Time
It is best to be outside and have a clear sky above you to
allow the Galileo
™
to obtain better reception of the
satellites. Clear sky means no trees, bridges, overhangs,
carports etc. Cloudy skies are ok. Holding the unit at 45
degrees from horizontal is optimum and a natural
position for using the unit. See 12-A. Having an open area
around you is important for first time use, any time that
the unit has not been used for an extended period of time,
and when the Cold Start function is used. See Cold Start
section on page 15 for more information.
Getting Started
With the batteries properly installed, press and hold the
Power button until the greeting screen is displayed
then release the Power button. The greeting screen
momentarily displays the mapping and Operating System
(OS) release versions [See 12-B] then displays the warning
page [See 12-C]. While the greeting screen is displayed,
write down the OS and Map release information in your
manual for future reference. This information can also be
found on the “Main Menu” under the “About” selection.
This information is necessary should you inquire about
the Galileo’s operation or order new software.
This warning screen is to let you know that the GPS
unit does have limitations and that they affect accuracy.
Press the PAGE/ESC button to acknowledge the warning
message and continue. If the PAGE/ESC button is not
pressed within 60 seconds the unit will turn itself off.
See 12-D.
