Oregon Scientific RX109 Recalling Altitude Data, Switch Between View Options, Weather Forecast

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:

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.

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.

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
