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).  
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  
limit has been exceeded. The watch also has a clock, calendar,  
and pressure reading apparatus, all of which need to be set  
according to the current date and location.  
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).  
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.  
NOTE  
The docking station and CD-ROM are required (op-  
tional for the RA109 and RS109, but not supplied) to download  
information from TOUR Mode.  
A MULTI-SYSTEM FACILITY  
The product is designed for use during many kinds of activity.  
It can 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), and PC (docking station and CDROM are optional for the  
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  
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  
software onto your computer. You can also use the software to  
change some of the watch settings.  
NOTE The RZ910 PC Kit can be purchased separately for the  
RA109 and RS109.

The OUTBREAKER allows you to track the following informa-  
tion as you exercise.  
While in ALT/TIME Mode, press  
FUNC/SET to switch between the  
view options: max / min altitude, total  
ascending / descending altitude, and  
speed. In the speed display, you can  
view current speed (ascending or  
descending), maximum ascending

speed.  
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.

First, the watch computer will record information as you train,  
for display only. This means you can check the information  
during or after your exercise, but there will be no record once  
you clear the memory in preparation for your next training  
event.  
It is necessary to set the icon after exposure to artificial  
environments, such as an airplane cabin, which may cause  
incorrect readings.  
The forecast will be displayed at the top of the watch as one of  
these four icons:  
To record and store this information (for up to 99 different trips,  
depending on the size of each record – see below) you must  
activate the TOUR Mode and view the records through the PC  
software.  
NOTE The information from a TOUR can only be viewed  
through the PC software.  
The current barometric pressure reading (in hPa or inHg,  
depending on the measurement unit you set in CLOCK Mode)

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  
to build muscle mass. With the Training Zone feature, you can  
set and then monitor the upper and lower heart rate limits  
(Training Zone) that best support your training activity and  
goals.  
Tips: The transmission from the belt is dependent on good  
contact with the 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.

BIKE MODE (RP109 ONLY)  
STEP 1: ATTACH THE EQUIPMENT TO THE BICYCLE  
The OUTBREAKER sports watch comes complete with a  
bicycle computer (and accessories), which records and dis-  
plays the following information:  
Speed: 0 – 255 km/hour or 0 – 158 mile/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  
align  
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  
(front wheel and pedal), and bike mount (handle bar). Refer  
to the next section for instructions.  
2. Specify your wheel circumference. See below for instruc-  
 
20  
NOTE The watch can work with one or both sensors.  
NOTE  
To attach the equipment:  
When the display shows a low battery icon  
(see  
‘Batterysection)replacethebatteryforthecorrespondingunit.  
1. Attach the bike mount to the right or left handlebar using  
rubber grip, nut and bolt provided. Tighten until the bike  
mount is fixed into place, using the rubber grip for a firmer  
contact.  
STEP 2: ENTER WHEEL CIRCUMFERENCE  
You must set the bike’s wheel circumfer-  
ence on the watch so it can accurately  
calculate your speed and distance. If you  
do not know the bike’s wheel circumfer-  
ence, you can check the manufacturer’s  
specifications or measure it by marking  
the wheel where it touches the ground,  
and then rotating the wheel once fully along the ground.  
Measure the difference between the two marks.  
2. Attach the cadence sensor to a stationary point just behind  
the pedal, using the rubber grip for a firmer contact. There  
should be maximum 100cm (39 inches) between the sensor  
and the bike mount, and less than 30 degrees vertical angle.  
3. Attach the cadence magnet to a pedal so that it is directly  
aligned with the sensor with less than 5mm (0.2 inches)  
between.  
4. Attach the speed sensor to either leg of the front forks, using  
the rubber grip for a firmer contact. There should be  
maximum 100cm (39 inches) between the sensor and the  
bike mount, and less than 30 degrees vertical angle.  
NOTE  
Most wheels have their specifications written on them.  
To specify this information on the watch:  
5.Attachthespeedmagnetonaspokeofthefrontwheelsothat  
it less than 5mm (0.2 inches) from the sensor.  
1. Press MODE to switch to the BIKE Mode.  
6. Check and adjust as necessary, then snip the ends off the  
clips so that no excess remains.  
2. Press and hold FUNC/SET for 2 seconds.  
3. Press SELECT/+ or ST/SP/- to change the circumference  
(cm or inches, depending on the measurement unit you  
selected in CLOCK Mode).  
7. Fit the watch into the bike mount.  
8. Press MODE on the watch to switch to BIKE Mode.  
9. Press ST/SP/- to activate signal reception. The display  
shows “- -“, then changes to 0 once a successful signal is  
received.  
4. Press FUNC/SET to save your changes.
