Instructions

  1. Install Smart Transmitter

    • 1

      The Smart transmitter needs to be installed in the high pressure port on the first stage of your regulator. Locate the high pressure port on the same side you plan to wear your dive computer.

    • 2

      If you already have a hose connected to a computer or gauge, it is installed on a high pressure port. Carefully remove this set up using the adjustable wrench and turning counter clockwise.

      If no hose is connected to your first stage using a high pressure port, use the appropriate size allen wrench from your multi-purpose dive tool to unscrew the desired high pressure port plug by turning the plug counter clockwise. Set the port plug aside for future use.

    • 3

      Insert the Smart transmitter into the high pressure port and hand tighten it (moving in a clockwise direction).

    • 4

      Visually inspect that the transmitter is correctly threaded and aligned into the port.

    • 5

      Gently tighten the transmitter into the port using the adjustable wrench (do not over tighten in case the transmitter needs to be removed later).

    Check First Stage

    • 6

      Mount your first stage to your air tank.

    • 7

      Position your ear near the first stage and gently turn on your air.

    • 8

      Listen for any air leaks in your first stage to ensure that the transmitter is properly installed.

    • 9

      If there are any leaks, inspect your first stage to determine the source of the leak. If the leak is coming from the transmitter in the high pressure port, turn off the air, depressurize hoses and unmount first stage. Remove and reinstall transmitter and perform another check using your air tank.

    • 10

      When the transmitter is properly installed and no air leaks are detected, leave the tank turned on.

    Pairing Your UWATEC Galileo Sol

    • 11

      Turn on the Galileo Sol by pressing and holding the right button to display the time of day.

    • 12

      Position the Galileo Sol next to or on top of the transmitter.

    • 13

      The Smart transmitter will send a pairing code to the Galileo Sol. When the dive computer receives this code, the display will show a list of 4 tank identifiers: TANK T1, TANK T2, TANK TD and BUDDY. T1 is the primary tank; T2 and TD are used for gas mixtures; BUDDY is your dive buddy's tank.

    • 14

      Select Tank T1 using the left button to scroll down or the middle button to scroll up. When Tank T1 is highlighted, press the right button to save the setting.

    • 15

      When the display reads: "PAIRING TO T1 SUCCESSFUL," press the right button ("SAVE") to confirm.
      Pairing will be cancelled if the right button (SAVE) isn't pressed within 3 minutes.

    • 16

      The computer will display the tank pressure.

      If TANK T1 isn't paired, the display will read "NO P."

      If there is a problem with the transmission, "---" will be displayed.
