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
• Max descending speed – fastest speed you have descended
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
screen, which is not on a timeout)
at which point the watch returns
to ALT Mode.
Clearing the memory
allows you to start over again on
a new trip, though all the infor-
mation from your current trip will
be lost.
SWITCH BETWEEN VIEW OPTIONS
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, and maximum descending
speed.
Press SELECT/+ or ST/SP/- to loop through the values for each
option.
To clear a value from the memory, press and hold FUNC/SET
for 2 seconds.
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 descend-
ing. 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
