Adjustments

Adjusting the monitor:
• To tilt the monitor up or down, place one hand on the top of the monitor and the other
hand on the bottom. Gently pivot the monitor into place. Stop if you feel resistance.
• To pivot the monitor left to right, place one hand on each side of the monitor. Gently
pivot the monitor into place. Stop if you feel resistance.
Strap in your feet:
• Always wear athletic footwear when using Hydrow. Never use Hydrow without strapping
your feet securely into the foot beds unless explicitly instructed during a workout.
• Slide your feet into the footbeds, noticing where the foot strap crosses your foot.
• Remove your foot and move the footbeds up or down so the foot straps go over the
balls of your feet or the bottom laces on your shoes. The straps should rest just above
the widest part of the foot.
• Reinsert your foot and pull the straps on each footbed to secure them. They should
be snug, but not tight enough to squeeze your foot.

Connecting to Bluetooth

You must wear headphones while using the Hydrow. To connect your Bluetooth headphones to the Hydrow,
make sure your headphones are in pairing mode. After you are logged in to an account, hit Settings >
Bluetooth > Pair new device. Find your headphones on the available devices then select Pair.

Navigate the Workout Screen

STOPWATCH ICON:
Displayed next to the stopwatch icon is the projected time that it would take you to row 500 meters
(MM:SS/500m). This is a very important stat in rowing called your Split. When our Hydrow Athletes call out to
"lower your split" or "maintain your split," this is the stat they would like you to adjust!
Note: When you can tap this stat on the screen, it will change to show your current wattage output instead. Choose the stat that you
prefer to see for your workout style!
