4UNDERSTANDING THE PM MENU OF OPTIONSJust Row – Automatic OperationJust Row is designed for those days when you would rather not push any buttons or pre-set your workout. Your first stroke will turn on the PM and start recording your workout time and distance automatically. You may also select Just Row to set up the PM screen before you start rowing.Note: You must row for at least one minute for results to be saved in memory or on your LogCard. Just Row allows you to row up to 50,000 meters.Select Workout The PM lets you choose or create a wide variety of workouts. You can choose from the Standard List of pre-set workouts provided on the PM, or you can create workouts of your own and build your own Custom List. If you have a LogCard, you can store your five favorite workouts (Favorites) on the LogCard. The Re-Row function allows you to “re-row” a saved workout (in Memory or on the LogCard) by rowing against a Paceboat driven by a split-by-split* replay of the saved workout. You can also race a Paceboat in a New Workout by entering a pace for the Optional PaceBoat setting when you set up the workout. *Understanding Splits: Your workout results will be displayed and stored in two ways: as a final result for the total distance or time, and as a set of points along the way called splits. The splits show how your pace varied through the workout. If you select a workout from Standard List, Custom List, or Favorites, the duration of the split will be set for you. If you set up a New Workout you have the opportunity to set the split duration. The PM divides your New Workout into five segments, or splits, unless you alter the split duration during set up. Interval workouts are not formatted to utilize splits.Games Fish Game: Earn points by catching good fish, and avoid losing points by getting caught by the bad fish! Row harder and your fish swims up. Row easier and your fish swims down. Each game lasts four minutes. Your Fish Game workout information (time, distance, pace per 500 meters, etc.) is logged to your LogCard (or PM Memory if rowing without a LogCard) just like a regular workout. Racing: (PM4 Only) The PM4 enables you to set up races with up to eight PM4-equipped indoor rowers without using a computer. This can be done wirelessly or by using Ethernet patch cables available from Concept2. If using cables, be sure to plug them in before starting the race.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.1530m32s/m1:55Lane 1Lane 2Lane 3peterd-25 m-20 m-2000m/5001:53.2 aveWatt1530m32s/m1:551:53.21 Lane 74 Lane 45 Lane 16 peterdaveWatt+23m+ 9m-12m/500Race Display1-4 racersMain Menu Just Row • Select Workout • Games • Information • More Options •Select Workout Standard List • Custom List • ReRow • New Workout • Favorites •Games Fish Game • Racing •Information Overview • PM Details • How to Row • Drag Factor • More •If using Suunto™ chest belts, you must use cables to race.

5More 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). 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.

When you are rowing, the fl ywheel provides a portion of the power to extend battery life (Model D Indoor Rower only).PM4Comes 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. Note: Recharging is most effective when a PM4 is used with a Model E Indoor Rower and less effective when used with a Model D Indoor Rower. Refer to concept2.com/pm4 for more info. May also be recharged by connecting PM4 to PC using USB cable.BATTERY INFORMATIONNotes: 1) Remove batteries or battery pack from the PM3 or PM4 if monitor will not be used for a period of four months or more.2) When changing batteries, information in the PM will be lost if the batteries are out for more than a few minutes. 3) To completely clear the internal memory of the PM, remove the batteries for 30 minutes and reinstall.
