INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchasing the OUTBREAKER RA201.
Your RA201 is a precision device for an active life style. RA201 is
equippedwithSailingTimer,Altimeter,Barometer,Weather 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 1ATTENTION!
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.
• Thecontentofthismanualis subject to change without further notice.
• The technical specifications of this product are subject to change

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
affectedbythebodyheat.To acquire an accurate temperaturereading,
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
RA201usesaCR20323Vlithiumbattery.Themaximumexpectedbattery
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.
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. Removetheoldbatterycarefully.Avoidbending thecontact plate.
5. Place the newbatteryinsidethecompartment with +vesidefacing
up. Ensure the battery contact plate is mount back to the battery.
