INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchasing the OUTBREAKER RA201. Y our RA201 is a precision device for an active life style. RA201 is equipped with Sailing Timer , Altimeter , Barometer , W eather forecast, Thermometer, Chronometer, Calendar Clock and EL back light.

The RA201 the advanced Bar-compensation - technology. With this advanced technology the RA201 is able to distinguish the pressure change due to barometric change or altitude change. Using this advanced Bar-compensation technology the performance of the RA201 on the altitude reading and weather forecast will be much more reliable.

SECTION 1 ATTENTION!

READ THIS USER’S MANUAL

THOROUGHLY.

• The RA201 is not meant to substitute professional measurement devices for skydiving, hang gliding, paragliding, gyrocopter riding, flying small aircrafts or industrial precision.

• This unit employs a semiconductor pressure sensor that could be affected by the temperature change. While taking the altitude measurement, ensure that the unit is not exposed to sudden temperature changes.

• It is recommended to calibrate the altitude or sea level pressure regularly to maintain the accuracy of the watch.

• The manufacturer and its suppliers hold no responsibility to any party or any type of claim arising from the use of this product.

• The content of this manual is subject to change without further notice.

• The technical specifications of this product are subject to change without further notice.

• Due to printing limitation, the displa ys shown in this manual may differ from the actual display.

• The content of this manual should not be reproduced without the permission of the manufacturer or their representative.

• If irr egularity exist, press and hold MODE, SELECT, LAP and SET key simultaneously for 2 seconds to reset the watch.

NOTE ON COMPLIANCE

Oregon Scientific OUTBREAKER conforms to the required EMC Directive 89/336/EC and carries the respective CE marking.

CONTROL BUTTONS & ICONS

Turn on the backlight or hold to activate/release the key lock function

3. SELECT/+

Select the information in various modes or increase a value while setting

4. LAP/-

Mark a LAP for the chronometer in the sailing timer or decrease a value while setting or turns the daily alarm on/off

6. FUNC/SET

Select the function in various modes

ICONS

A. Total time icon to indicate the total time running for the memor y

group in Timer 1

B. Daily alarm icon to indicate the on/off status of the daily alarm C. LAP memory icon to indicate the LAP memory for TIMER 1

D. Low battery icon to indicate the battery power is low (no display

if battery level is too low) E. Weather icon to indicate the weather forecast F. Key lock icon to indicate the lock/release status of the key lock G. Status bar to indicate the mode of the watch H. TIMER 1, TIMER 2 & TIMER 3 indicator to indicate which

timer is in use I. Zone time icon

Hints:

a) A status bar shows on the display whether RA201 is in

altimeter-barometer or sailing timer mode. b) Press and hold +/- for 2 seconds for fast increment or decrement

in setting the values. c) In all setting modes, if left idle for 30 sec, the watch will

automatically switch back to the previous mode When RA201 is worn on wrist, the temperature measured could be

affected by the body heat. To acquire an accurate temperature reading , remove the RA201 from wrist and wait for about 15 minutes before taking the reading. The larger the temperature difference, the longer the temperature settling time.

BATTERY INFORMATION

RA201 uses a CR2032 3V lithium battery. The maximum expected ba ttery life is approximately 12 months. When the battery of RA201 is running low, the low-battery indicator [ will be deactivated in order to save the battery power.

] will light up, the backlight function

Note:

• Heavy use of the EL backlight, altitude alarm and sailing timer will reduce the battery service life significantly.

TO REPLACE THE BATTERY

Note:

It is recommended to have the battery replaced by your Oregon Scientific dealer. Non-experienced user should take extreme care in order to maintain water resistance.

1. Screw out the pin connecting the bracelets and watch using two small screwdrivers.

2. Remove the four screws to open the rear metal plate of the watch.

3. Use a small tool to open the contact plate mount on the battery. Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry.

4. Remove the old battery carefully. A void bending the contact plate.

5. Place the new battery inside the compartment with +ve side facing up. Ensure the battery contact plate is mount back to the battery.

6. Close the rear metal plate of the watch and connect back the bracelets and the watch. Ensure that the o-ring is in its position.

Note:

• It is recommended to have the battery replaced by your Oregon Scientific dealer.non-exper ienced user should take extreme care in order to maintain water resistance .
