Yes there are Bluetooth hardware problems with the first Gen PM5's that they cannot simply fix in the PM5 firmware.

Thanks Carl Watts, But I don't understand: I've been using the same iPhone with the same PM5 for years. What has changed with the hardware that won't work now?

2 weeks ago I began my workout after coming home from vacation to a new look on the ErgData app v2.0.3(3)...evidently an automatic update. The first thing I had to do was reconnect the app to my concept 2's PM5 Hardware: 502 Firmware: 32. Problem is that while the PM5 says that it is connected, the ...

Thanks guys. I was intrigued by your technique of just holding on with your fingers. So I did a little research and found a few YouTube videos showing the technique of holding the handle lightly.

At first I started with just a few minutes on the lowest tension setting and added one minute per week to my routine until I made it to 26 minutes.

So I poked around a bit and this is what I found http://w...

So, I'm brand-new at rowing on the concept2 (Broken monitor) which I've set to level 1. I've watched videos and learned to start by warming up with just arms, then back and arms, then slightly bent knees back and arms for about 3 minutes. Afterwards I followed a forum users guidelines for 20 strokes...

Thanks for the tips. I look forward to building slowly over many weeks and months.

I am new to rowing and I just joined a park district gym that has a concept2. It's monitor is broken. I watched some technique videos on youtube, but without a program to follow on the monitor I'm wondering how hard to pull, how many spm, and for how long should a session be?
