HOW THE OUTBREAKER WORKS
The OUTBREAKER sports watch comes equipped with a
barometer (measuring altitude, barometric pressure, and
weather conditions), a weather forecast display, a thermom-
eter, a heart rate monitor (RS109/RP 109 only), and a bicycle
computer to display information when cycling (RP109 only).
HOW THE ALTIMETER, THERMOMETER, AND
BAROMETER WORK
Thepatentedbaro-compensationtechnologyusedinthiswatch
allows it to distinguish between barometric pressure change
and altitude pressure change. This means it can detect baro-
metric pressure (localized weather conditions) as distinct from
changes in altitude pressure, and gives more accurate read-
ings than most average devices (which frequently rely on
manual deactivation before initiating a new forecast).
A MULTI-SYSTEM FACILITY
The product is designed for use during many kinds of activity.
Itcan display and store a range of information of interest to the
casual and more serious sports or exercise enthusiast. The
watch includes the following Modes: CLOCK, ALTIMETER,
CARDIO (Heart Rate) (RS109/RP109 only), BIKE (RP109
only),andPC(dockingstationandCDROMareoptionalforthe
RA109 and RS109, and are not supplied). It is equipped with
a multi-system facility that allows you to combine information
accordingtoyourpreference,suchasaltitudeandtime,altitude
and heart rate, or bike speed and altitude, etc. You may also
use the stopwatch or timer (countdown) facility in combination
with other functions, and both will continue to run in the
background while you use other features of the watch.
The heart-rate monitor and altimeter features of the
OUTBREAKER watch include customized settings. Maximum
and minimum heart rate limits can be set for use during
exercise,andthealtimetercanbesettoregisterascendingand
descending limits. In both cases a short beep signifies either
limithasbeenexceeded.Thewatchalsohasaclock,calendar,
and pressure reading apparatus, all of which need to be set
according to the current date and location.
TOUR MODE
The watch features a TOUR Mode in which you can record all
data from a single trip, or workout, and then download this
information onto your PC for storage and viewing. The watch
can recall 99 different single tours, trips or workouts.
The docking station and CD-ROM are required (op-
tionalforthe RA109 and RS109, but notsupplied)todownload
information from TOUR Mode.
PC SOFTWARE KIT (RP109 ONLY)
A docking station is provided with the watch for connecting to
a computer, along with a CD-ROM for installing the necessary
softwareontoyourcomputer. Youcanalsousethesoftwareto
change some of the watch settings.
TheRZ910PC Kit can bepurchased separately for the
RA109 and RS109.

minutes to get the most accurate reading.
ALTI-BARO MODE
The OUTBREAKER sports watch includes a
barometer that distinguishes between pres-
surecausedbyaltitudechangesandpressure
caused by weather conditions. This technol-
ogy reduces discrepancies in readings and
makes the altimeter more accurate than most
average devices.
The watch can store and recall the following values:
• Current altitude (updated every 2 seconds)
• Maximum / minimum altitudes attained during your a trip
• Total accumulated maximum / minimum altitudes attained
during your trip

GB
SET CURRENT ALTITUDE AND RESOLUTION
When you first use the watch, it is important to set the current
altitude and local sea-level pressure so your ascending and
descending altitude can be accurately measured. You can
find the current altitude by comparing your position to a
topographical map, and then entering the value in the watch.
It is necessary to reset the altitude after being in a
pressurized chamber (such as an airplane).
For instructions on setting the sea-level pressure, refer to the
next section.
Tip: You can also set the current altitude and alarm limits with
the help of the PC software (see PC section). (RP109 only)

RECALLING ALTITUDE DATA
The OUTBREAKER allows you to track the following informa-
tion as you exercise.
• Max / min altitude attained -- shows the highest or lowest
point you have reached so far in relation to your watch’s
permanent altitude setting.
• Max / min altitude accumulated – represents the total dis-
tance you have ascended or descended; that is, every
incline is added together or ‘accumulated’, and likewise
every decline is added and ‘accumulated’, to give a total.
• Vertical speed -- how fast you are currently climbing
• Max ascending speed – fastest speed you have climbed
• Maxdescendingspeed–fastestspeedyouhavedescended
The following illustration shows these points:
These display screens are
shown in a loop, and the infor-
mation in each screen is dis-
played for 30 seconds (exclud-
ing the ALT/SPD vertical speed

CARDIO (HEART RATE) MODE
(RS109/RP109 ONLY)
The OUTBREAKER watch is
equipped with a CARDIO Mode
and heart rate chest belt, which
together allow you to measure
yourheartrate(from25-240beats
perminute)whileexercising.You
can track your heart rate while in
the ALTI-BARO, CARDIO, or
BIKE Modes, and with the following features: Stopwatch,
Timer, Temperature, and Altimeter display.
There are five screens in the CARDIO Mode including the
HEART RATE/CLOCK/HR chart (starting) screen. They are:
• HEART RATE/CLOCK/HR
chart (starting) screen,
• HEARTRATE/HRalarmon/off/

WEARING THE CHEST BELT
You must wear the chest belt to measure your heart rate.
This OUTBREAKER watch is specially designed to
work with the chest belt with which it was sold. It is not
recommended you use any other chest belt with this watch, as
the transmission may not work.
Tips: The transmission from the belt is dependent on good
contactwiththe skin and proximity to the receiver watch. Make
sure the transmitting section of the belt is against the skin, not
blocked by chest hair, and close enough to the receiver watch
(approximately 30 inches) to send a clear signal. Sweat or gel
can help to improve the signal, and remember it is not instan-
taneous. If no signal is received immediately, wait for a few
seconds for the signal to get through.
Anoldbatterymayweakenthetransmissionandrecep-
tion power. Replace the battery if the performance is progres-
sively worse.
Once you have good contact with the chest belt, will begin
toflash.Thismeansthesignalisbeingsentandyourheartrate
will soon appear in place of the large 0. Your heart rate will be
displayed as the larger font in every screen of this Mode, and
can also be displayed in a smaller font, below the line, while in
BIKEMode.Ifyouremovethechestbelt,orthewatchismoved
too far away from it, the signal will be broken.
The CARDIO Mode will stop functioning after no signal
is received for 5 or more minutes.
When you are measuring your heart rate, keep the
watchawayfromsignalgeneratingsources,suchasTVs,PCs,
and car engines, as these may impair the reading.
TRAINING ZONES
The OUTBREAKER watch is
equippedwithaspecialTrainingZone
feature that allows you to pre-select
the optimal heart rate range (50-240
beats per minute) for your activity.
For example, the amount of exertion
required for a stroll in the park is
different from the amount of exertion required for weight lifting
tobuildmuscle mass. With the TrainingZone feature, you can
set and then monitor the upper and lower heart rate limits
(Training Zone) that best support your training activity and
goals.

jogging or swimming are good for this zone.
3 70 – 80% Aerobic Zone – Increases strength and endurance. It works
within the body’s oxygen intake capability, burns more calo-
ries, and can be maintained for a long period of time.
4 80 – 90% Anaerobic Zone – Generates speed and power. It works at
or above the body’s oxygen intake capability, builds muscle,
and cannot be maintained for a long period of time.
5 90 – 100% Red Line Zone – This high-intensity zone can only be
maintained in short bursts or intervals, as it pushes your
muscles and cardiovascular system beyond their capacity.

STEP 1: ATTACH THE EQUIPMENT TO THE BICYCLE
BIKE MODE (RP109 ONLY)
The OUTBREAKER sports watch comes complete with a
bicycle computer (and accessories), which records and dis-
plays the following information:
• Speed: 0– 255km/houror0 –158mile/hour,depending on
the measurement unit you select (refer to the Clock Mode
section)
• Average speed (Max:255km/hr or 158 mile/hr)
• Maximum speed (Max:255km/hr or 158 mile/hr)
• Cadence: 0 – 255 rpm (pedal revolutions per minute)
• Distance traveled (Max:999.9 km or 620 miles)
• Totaldistancetravelled(Max:99,999.9kmor620,000miles)
• Total time spent cycling
The BIKE Mode comprises pioneering technology that uses
two wireless sensors instead of one. The high frequency of
each sensor (868 MHz) eliminates possible interference be-
tween the cadence and signal sensors, ensuring you accurate
performance measurements.
SET UP FOR BIKE MODE
To set up the BIKE Mode you must first do two things:
1. Attach the measuring equipment to your bicycle:speed
sensor (front wheel), cadence sensor (pedal), two magnets
(frontwheel andpedal),andbike mount(handlebar). Refer
to the next section for instructions.
2. Specify your wheel circumference. See below for instruc-
