BATTERY INFORMATION

PM3
the pm3 uses two alkaline d-cell (lr20)
batteries. When you are rowing, the
flywheel provides a portion of the power
to extend battery life (Model D Indoor
rower only) .
one person creates the race on their pm4 by following the
pm4 menu; others join in using their own pm4 .the race creator
is always in lane 1 and starts the race when all are ready .
remaining lane numbers are assigned based on order of entry
into the race . the race screen displays names for racers using
logcards .
if using suunto™ chest belts, you must use cables to race . in
certain environments where other devices (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.)
are in use, concept2 suggests use of cables . only one wireless
race can be in progress at a time .
Information/Help
the pm contains on-board information to help you if the manual is not
available . this section includes a brief rowing lesson with an animation of
proper rowing technique, an explanation of the Drag Factor, information
about batteries and more. We encourage you to press the Information button
from the Main Menu and read through the information provided .
More Options
the More Options menu provides the following functions and utilities:
• Display Drag Factor: drag factor is a measure of fan load . the pm self-calibrates by recalculating
the drag factor every stroke so you get a true measure of your effort regardless of the damper
setting or changing conditions .
• Utilities: allows you to re-set the date, time or language . You can also adjust the contrast of the
lcd, check battery status and add workouts to the Custom List .
• Connect Suunto HR: (pm4 only) suunto™ heart rate chest belts can be used to display and
record your heart rate . each suunto chest belt has a unique id number . use this menu to select
your chest belt's id number . save your id number to a logcard to have the logcard automatically
recognize your suunto™ chest belt (for future workouts) . garmin and other ant sport™ chest
belts may also be used. For more information, visit concept2.com/heartrate.
• Memory/LogCard: the pm stores workouts in two ways . if no logcard
is present, the pm will store your most recent workouts in Memory . the
oldest are automatically deleted . if a logcard is inserted before a workout,
the workout data is stored on the LogCard, which stores approximately 300
workouts . the logcard enables you to track your total and monthly meters
and your performance during each split or interval of your workout (including
heart rate, if available) . You can view your workouts listed by date or by type .
Workout data can be moved from Memory to logcard .
• Switch Users: enables you to switch from one user to another on a shared logcard .
Additional information is available at concept2.com and c2forum.com.
PM4
comes equipped with rechargeable battery pack . recharge rate depends
on usage pattern of rower: the more and harder you row, the more
quickly the pm4 charges . under certain usage patterns, it may be better
to use two alkaline d-cell (lr20) batteries .
may also be recharged by connecting pm4 to pc using usB cable .
