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

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.
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.
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. (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 bendingthe contact plate.
5. Place the newbattery 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.

reached again, the alarm will be re-activated with respect to the
status.
b) Setting the altitude affects the sea level pressure displayed.
HOW TO SET THE WEATHER FORECAST ICON
Apart from determining the altitude, barometer also forecasts the
weather for the forthcoming 12 to 24 hours based on barometric
pressure changes. The effective range is 30 to 50 km. To have a
faster response of the weather forecast, it is suggested to set the
weather forecast icon to match the current weather.
The forecast will automatically be displayed in one of the four icons:
1. Press and hold SET for two seconds in altitude-local pressure
display to enter the weather forecast icon setting mode.
2. Press +/- to select the desired weather forecast icon.
3. Press SET to confirm the setting and then quit the setting mode.
Refer to Fig. 4d to set the weather forecast icon.
Notes:
a) Since the weather forecast can be affected by oceanic or
continental weather phenomena, the forecast could be less
accurate. The manufacturer is not responsible for any
inconveniences caused by faulty weather forecast.
b) The weather forecast is meant for the next 12 to 24 hours. It may
not necessarily reflect the current situation.
SEALEVEL PRESSURE DISPLAY
In the sea level pressure display there are two functions that can be
called out from the RA201: sea level pressure history memory and
bar graph of the history.
1. Press FUNC in altitude-sea level pressure display.
2. Press +/- to select thesea level pressurehistorymemory to display.
3. Press FUNC to toggle to the sea level bar graph to display.

back to the altitude-sea level pressure display.
c) After changing the battery “--” will be shown as no data kept in
the sea level pressure history memory and bar graph will be clear
(see diagram below). The history and the bar graph will be
updated hourly after one hour.
HOWTOSETTHESEALEVELPRESSURE
When you first use the RA201, please calibrate the sea level
pressure. Once the sea level pressure is calibrated, the altitude will
automatically calibrate to the reference altitude using the built-in
auto-calibration function.
1. Press and hold SETfor two seconds in altitude-sea level pressure
display to enter the sea level pressure mode.
2. Press +/- to increase or decrease the values.
3. Press SET to confirm the setting and then quit the setting mode.
Refer to Fig. 4f to set the sea level pressure.
Notes:
a) The current sea level pressure can be obtained from most of the
newspapers, local news and radio weather reports or through the
internet weather station.
b) It is necessary to re-calibrate the sea level pressure and altitude
again once the product is placed in a pressurized cabinet such as
an airplane.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Different altitude was
found for same
location in different
days.
This is caused by the
pressure changes due to
the activities instead of
the actual sea level
pressure change.
Recalibrate the altitude
by setting the sea level
pressure.
The bar graph of the
altitude was kept at a
high level.
The altitude exceeds the
upper limit of the
display range of the bar
graph.
The display range will
be readjusted for the
next update.
No bar graph was
observed within the
altitude mode.
(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.
(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.
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.
Re-calibrate the sea
level pressure and
altitude .
