The Galileo

™

has a protective plastic layer over the display

screen. Remove this layer before use.

You are now ready to travel with your Galileo

™

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.
