[. . . ] NOTE Clearing the memory allows you to start over again on a new trip, though all the information from your current trip will be lost. 13 WEATHER FORECAST The built-in barometer helps to forecast the weather for the next 12-24 hours. This reading is based on barometric pressure changes and has an effective range of 30 to 50 kilometers (18 ­ 31 miles). The patented baro-compensation technology in the OUTBREAKER watch allows it to differentiate between pressure changes due to altitude, and those due to weather changes. To avoid inaccurate forecasts, the watch will favor altitude readings when you are actually ascending or descending. This means the weather icon will disappear after significant vertical movements. To display an accurate forecast, simply remain at any fixed altitude for roughly 5 minutes. You may wish to set the icon manually for these reasons: · The speed in the change of icon forecast depends on the ST/SP/- SEC/+ SEC/+ ST/SP/- GB GB speed of barometric change and in some cases may take longer (up to 24hrs) than desired. · Setting the icon can speed up the adjustment for the weather forecast. · 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: TOUR MODE There are two ways of using the memory on the OUTBREAKER. 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. 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) shows at the bottom of the display. To set the weather icon manually, follow these instructions: Diagram Instructions 1. While in the ALTI-BARO Mode, press SELECT/+ until LOC shows at the bottom of the display. TOUR MEMORY Tour mode allows you to record and store data displayed on the watch, which can then be downloaded onto your PC. Depending on the model you purchase, the information you choose to record (see below), and the time used by TOURs you have already stored on the watch, the available memory length may vary. The average memory storage capacities in realtime, (taking a data sample every 5 seconds), assuming default settings (see Specifications: Tour Mode) and no TOURs have been saved for each model are as follows: Model RA109 RS109 RP109 14 Total recording time available 598 min (10 hours) 508 min (8. 5 hours) 659 min (11 hours) 2. NOTE When functioning normally the watch automatically updates the forecast every 15 minutes. The watch can record and store up to 99 different trips, providing there is enough remaining memory. To increase the gap between samplings, and thus increase the memory capacity, you can adjust this setting through the PC software. RECORD MARKERS IN TOUR MODE The marker function is used to mark a particular position during a TOUR. To place a marker, press and hold SELECT/+ when the TOUR Mode is in use. [. . . ] · Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, stoves, heaters, and other heat-generating products.
