ATTENTION !

Read this users 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 displays 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 irregularity exist, press and hold MODE, SELECT, LAP and SET key simultaneously for 2 seconds to reset the watch.

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchasing the OUTBREAKER RA201.Your RA201 is a precision device for an active life style. RA201 is equipped with Sailing Timer, Altimeter, Barometer, Weather forecast, Thermometer, Chronometer, Calendar Clock and EL back light. The RA201 has the advanced Baro-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 Baro-compensation technology the performance of the RA201 on the altitude reading and weather forecast will be much more reliable.

NOTE ON COMPLIANCE

Oregon Scientific OUTBREAKER conforms to the required EMC Directive 89/336/EC and carries the respective CE marking. 4

Zone time icon Hints: a) A status bar shows on the display whether RA201 is in altimeterbarometer 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. d) 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.
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. (Diagram A) 2. Remove the four screws to open the rear metal plate of the watch. (Diagram B) 3. Use a small tool to open the contact plate mount on the battery. Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry. (Diagram C) 4. Remove the old battery carefully. Avoid 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.

BATTERY INFORMATION

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

Press and hold LIGHT/ the key lock function. Note: After key lock function is activated, only LIGHT key can function normally.
for two seconds to activate/release
SECTION 7 : TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
TROUBLE Different altitude was found for same location in different days. The bar graph of the altitude was kept at a high level. No bar graph was observed within the altitude mode. POSSIBLE CAUSE This is caused by the pressure changes due to the activities instead of the actual sea level pressure change. The altitude exceeds the upper limit of the display range of the bar graph. (1) Battery has been changed. (2) The watch has been reset. (3) The altitude inferior to the lower limit of the display range of the bar graph. The sea level pressure or the altitude does not reflect the actual value. (1) The watch has been kept in a pressurized environment for a period of time. (2) This is caused by the pressure changes due to the activities instead of the actual sea level pressure change. REMEDY Recalibrate the altitude by setting the sea level pressure.

SECTION 6 : MAINTENANCE AND DISPOSAL
The watch is water resistant but it is not recommended to make any watch setting while exposed to excessive water or under water. Pressing the keys while in the water or during heavy rainstorms may cause water to enter into the unit. Batteries can be harmful if not disposed properly. Protect the environment by taking exhausted batteries to authorized disposal stations. Do not clean the unit with alcohol containing detergents, abrasive or corrosive materials. Abrasive cleaning agents may scratch the plastic parts and corrode the electronic circuit. Do not expose the unit to excessive force, shock, dust and temperature or humidity. Such treatment may result in malfunction, shorter electronic life span, damaged batteries, or distorted parts. Do not tamper with the units internal components. Doing so will terminate the units warranty and may cause damage. The unit contains no user-serviceable parts.
The display range will be readjusted for the next update. (1-2) Leave the watch for one minute and the altitude record will start to update again. (3) The display range will be readjusted for the next update. Re-calibrate the sea level pressure and altitude.
TROUBLE The bar graph of the sea level pressure was kept at a high level. After changing the unit of measurement, the historical readings of the sea level memories were shown constant. No memory records and bar graph for the sea level pressure.
POSSIBLE CAUSE The sea level pressure exceeds the upper limit of the display range of the bar graph. The watch displays default values because there were no updated data captured.
REMEDY The display range will be readjusted for the next update. The sea level memories will be resumed to the memorized values once the sea level pressure has been updated. (1-2) Leave the watch for one hour till the sea level pressure starts to update again. (3) The display range will be readjusted for the next updated. Reset the weather forecast icon to match with the current weather in order to speed up the response. Delete the memory group(s) to release the memory space for LAP function.
TROUBLE Cannot start the Timer in SAILING TIMER mode. Temperature shown is higher than the actual temperature.
POSSIBLE CAUSE TIMER 1, TIMER 2 or TIMER 3 is running.
REMEDY Stop the running timer and reset the TIMER. Start the desired TIMER accordingly. Take the watch off the wrist of leave it on open area for at least 15 minutes. Release the key lock function. Replace the old battery with a new one.
The thermometer detected the body heat instead of the actual temperature.
No key function when Key lock function has key pressed. been activated. No back light when EL back light key is pressed. Battery level is too low to activate the backlight.
(1) Battery has been changed. (2) The watch has been reset. (3) The sea level pressure is inferior to the lower limit of the display range of the bar graph.

Weather forecast icon never changes.
